SourD- Thank the big dude-no seed on the Grape Krush. Though thinking about it a few would have been cool... I really want some GK seed for later grows..

Grape Krush 2-Grow report by Yep. 4-12-12
I realize that I have not done this great phenom justice.
Gk is not a good strain to learn on if your looking for large yields in your
first few grows unless your doing micro grows then the small amount
of soil would work to your benefit.
She seems generous towards CFL and will frost if treated correctly.
looking at the dirt from her 5 gal container.
My GK2 had almost no roots beyond subsurface.
which explains lack of growth and vigor.
Looking close I realize and thinking back to GK 1 which grew 5 foot tall. in MG(which burn with slow release nuits)
It is the moss&lack of air from container that was keeping soil over watered 100% of the time.
Never giving her a chance or reason to go deep.
Lesson:
Pure Organic with top feeding would be preferred
method of growing.
Using a 60% perlite- 30%-Soil-10% moss in a smart pot / air pot with small layer of stone and perlite on bottom
of container. Small layer of guano 3/4 way down would seem to make sense.
Why ?
Less is better for Grape Krush (excluding light)
Organic soil
No nuits-
instead use top feeding a couple time though out her life cycle and plain water.
Let her go bone dry 3 out of 4 watering's.
I have read that watering her using the soaking method is the best way to water her and I now see why.
Make the roots chase the water more effectively.
If I had done this I would bet $ I would have (doubled to ten fold) my yield.
Upside- I can reuse my soil later since she never really sucked all the good stuff out.
Grape Krush 2 vs GK 1 :
Well I didn't double my yield from the first try so on that I sucked.
You can tell gk2 has much better formed and looking nugs.
Her small nugs are much denser and fewer of them.
Her smell is still fresh cut so cant really speak on that yet.
More in smoke report GK2 in a couple months.
Over all:
For me Grape Krush has been great. Forced me to think much more than my SSH and SourD.
If not for GK I would be thinking SSH & SourD soil was the bomb chit and stick with the 40%moss.
GK has also opened me to the idea that I dont need to nuit/tea mix the hell out of every strain I come across.
I dig ( kiss ) growing.
Because of her
I'm going to try organic soil in better pots instead
of hydo and $ chems. (for now-hydro,small scale later)
I'm still going to go with CFL with a 400-600w HPS for my next large grow. next winter.
Though I may not have her original genes by then. Most likely will have GK/BS seeds.
She will always be my first and my favorite...
Smoke on y'all...
Yep, peace out.

New 6 Lady's summer set up 4-12-12
Line up :
3 smart pots 1 gal- 2 gal- 3gal
1 wood decorative pot
1 metal red 3 gal mesh trash can
1 metal brown decorative weaved 3 gal container
My plan:
I am going to shut down for the summer after my 2nd wave is all done in 8 weeks max.
I plan on doing a little closet semi-micro grow for fun. 3 smart pots.
I have been reading about root growth and smart pot/air pot being excellent for roots.
Being cheap and just thinking it would be more fun I go and find pots that seem
to me would work just about the same as a air pot without the look.
I do plan on getting a 1 gal air pot to test over summer as well.
The 3 decorative pots are for outside bonsai mothers and testing different ideas.
Soil set up:
I took my mix :
1 bg Fox farm ocean forest
4 bags earthgrow potting soil
2 bags green mix organic blends
1 sm bg MG Organic choice Blood meal
1 sm bg MG Organic choice Bone meal
Bis ass bag of prelite
med bag of peat moss
Which has been composting outside for 2 months.
Added 2 large bags of perlite.
I also added perlite as I layered my pots.
Pots and soil:
I layered each pot the same.
1 inch of small stone and perlite mix on bottom.
small layer of soil mix.
small mixed soil/bat guano layer
Final soil main layer.
Side note on the Red trash can. I added a small upside down strainer the
see if I can get a root ball in the stone. ( useful for bonsai )
I am chewing on a few idea's here.
The large clear plastic container that they will all sit in is a Micro grow / green house Idea I came up with.
I have a 2nd identical container and will be
making it a DIY CFL light fixture/ green house top
Yep.
Good for both inside and outside or both.
( Mothers outside for summer then inside for winter as not to flower)
I might just go but a second top so as to be easier to add reflective inside though
if I add cfls to the 2 far sides rather than the top and water proof with holes for air lower
down the sides I could then add a timer to turn lights on for 2 hours
after dark during winter and would be able to keep outside year round.
No need for reflective hood.
humm...
Yep-Things to think about.

Wow man you're like a machine. Do you take time to eat and sleep in between all these posts? I can't believe you've got 12 pages and 99% of the posts are yours! You like the energizer bunny on crack!
I gotta give some advice though. Ditch the cfl's those are great for veg but just aren't gonna give you quality buds in the flower room. Get a 1000 watt hps and you're gonna get 10 times more bud, and it will be 10 times better quality.

Yeps, if you don't grind up the bud and instead just pack in as large a nugs as possible, (tightly so there are no gaps) you will get a better and more colorful product. I can go into the science of it if you want.
Just a tip at the only thing on ICmag I can consider myself to be more knowledgeable about.
good luck again!

Knowledge is power bro-
dare to share the wealth...
Thanks for the tip. Ill try that with some SourD.
I defiantly need a coffee filter to keep the fine grind out.
I sill have 20-30 grams of grind sitting here most of which is my Grape krush plant 1.
This is my 2nd try at BHO. 1st time was with a PVC set up.
Came out OK. I might add the alcohol and run this through
a coffee filter. Taste a lil off. Nice center head high tho.
Any tips would be appreciated tho I do plan on doing my trim from the Lady's as I chop em.
Not much into canna butter so I have to do something with it ...
