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.
