Time For A New Batch:
STRAINS: grape ape
INDICA/SATIVA: Indica Dominant
HOW MANY:6
VEG/FLOWER: vegging 30 days flowering 60 days
IN/OUT: indoor grow
SOIL/HYDRO: soil
SOIL: 3 cu ft Roots! organic soil, 3 cu ft sphagnum peet moss, 2 cu ft chunky perlite, x2 perfect soil mix from KIS organics and 3 lbs vermicompost
LIGHTS: 2-1000 watt HPS, 2-600 watt metal halide for vegging (2 LED shop lights at first)
NUTES: a water only grow with some kelp foliar feed every week
ROOM: 4x8 half of shed
the 6 from left to right are Grape Ape and i have 2 Punto Roja and 2 Champagne
What is Swick watering?
using perlite as a wicking medium the plants will sit in 5 gallon cloth bags and will draw only the water they need from the perlite/water res below.
i framed a box 5 feet long and 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep, i lined the inside with plastic and filled the box with 2.5 bags of 2 cu ft chunky perlite. i will also fill the garden bed with water to within one inch from the top of the perlite. once ive transplanted into the cloth bags they merely sit on top of the perlite and draw water from below. (see sweetsue's grow for more pics and examples).
What is Grape Ape?
Grape Ape is an Indica-dominant hybrid of the Mendocino Purps strain, Skunk #1, and an Afghani landrace.
The combination of the Mendo Purps and Afghani strains is known to bring about an intense body melt. That makes it ideal for patients suffering from insomnia or chronic pain.
However, Skunk #1 is a Sativa-dominant strain that tends to pass on an uplifting cerebral effect. This is somewhat true in the case of Grape Ape, but it tends to be outweighed by the heavier effects caused by the Mendocino Purps and Afghani strains.
GOAL
So with the KIS perfect soil mix and the Swick watering combined im hoping to do as little interfering as possible while still producing amazing herb
