I'm going to wrap up my comments tonight regarding my Grape God grow. Everything is done, dried and either gone to friends or curing in some mason jars.
A quick review: 22 plants under 2200 watts, in 4 gallon pots with pro-mix and Botanicare fertilizer products. I vegged for 30 days and flowered for 63 days. They are easy to grow, stay short and easy to keep healthy. I never had to go above 1200 ppm in the grow, and a pH around 6.3-6.4 was maintained. I had an overdose issue with silica during the grow, and a group of plants showed some ill effects on some leaves. I flushed and everything improved immediately.
I cut everything in one day and ended up with 42 oz , just short of 2 oz per plant. I didn't pinch any plants, just let them do their thing as recommended by the breeder. Next time, I would pinch once or twice, and this will increase your bud count. The plants tend to grow with a main thick cola and little else, other then a ring of colas under the main cola. They are nicely dense, and this helped the overall weight in the room. Also, trim the bottom 1/4 of the plant off, as this lower stuff rarely adds up to much and sucks energy and production from the main colas. Also, very uniform plants- very stable.
While growing, there was definite citrus/grapefruit odor although it wasn't bad. After drying, it's a little "richer" now. Hints of citrus and grapefruit remain, but it's more refined and complicated now. The taste is similar, rich and thick as is the smoke. Mine definitely needs more curing time to fully develop. I'd say the high is an 8.5/10 tops. The high is mostly sativa leaning early on in the smoking session- all in the head, eyes and temple. Not long later, after a few more bong hits- it relaxes you up and down the body (indica buzz). It's a nice mix of highs. No anxiousness or anything to negatively report.
It's not the strongest smoke.....above average I'd say. But when you combine the other positives- easy to grow, nice weight, stays short, lower odor, etc.- it's well worth a grow. I already bought and planted Next Generation "Dynamite", the Grapefruit parent of Grape God. All 18
seeds sprouted within 2 days and these babies are already a few inches high. I would not have bought these if I was disappointed with the Grape God in any way.
Lastly, I've heard nothing but positives from my friends....everyone really likes it a lot. Loads of resin, and an enjoyable high with some flavor and smell. Not a keeper per se, but a strain I won't mind doing once in a while.
