I just picked up some bud off a guy who normally has real dank bud. this time it was some funky looking bud and at first it smelled great. but then as i started grinding it all up it smelled like ammonia pretty strongly. the bud itself was brownish and hard and looked like it may have started to rot before harvest or something. im already smoked a few bowls but now i dont want to finish it because of the ammonia smell. i looked at it in a scope and i didnt see mold. and its real bud cuz i see the triches. what gives??

i had a whole grow do this to me.... IDK what caused it. i grow organic's, with the same soil and tea recipe every time.. i was growing White Widow, a few people were saying there is a "Cat piss" or PK pheeno of WW that smells like cat piss....

it was nice and dank smoke.. everyone likes smoking it, just not the smell... i ended up calling it "the cats ass". when people asked why i told them to smell it :leaf:

P.S: does it TASTE funny? thats the biggest thing. if it has a funny taste then its probably the fertilizers....

^^ Since it doesn't taste funny, it's probably just a " Cat Piss " pheno of SSH, WW, an older Afghan or even the strain Cat Piss, which seems to be easier to come by on the West Coast.
.
When done right, Cat Piss the strain, reeks of ammonia, badly. But the smell doesn't carry over to the taste, and it has a great up high......

I never realized untill you said it.... Many of the growers in BC plant around swamps, that have a natural smell of ammonia..... Ammonia smelling bud would hide its smell with the Natural smells around.. Genius.

It smokes good, Gets you fried.. Im thinking its just a Piss strain.

I once cured some bud that was really wet. I never saw any mold but it did have an ammonia smell///probably needed more drying before jarring.

im thinking it this. the bud looks like it may have started to rot but then he took it out or something. but there is definitely a cat piss smell/ taste to it. where did he get the name grape ape? its not even purple -_-

i knew it wasnt as soon as li laid eyes on it. in fact as soon as laid eyes on it i thought it was some fake bud. until i looked at it under the scoped and said the triches. i just dont wanna f my lungs by smoking some bud some dude didnt cure right.
but i have seen some pretty big named buds around the east coast. not a whole lot of people like to order seeds like i do though :fire:

well then im sorry to say, that basicly NONE of the commercial weed is cured. its dried, bagged, dried some more and sold.... thats the way its been for the last 40 years + its the fastest rout to market.

You got the club price right for Cali, but on the street it's cheaper and easy to find. I have 50 grape ape seeds and grew a few of them before. It's chronic as hell and it's like half green, half purp.

Right there your wrong. you may have through it was GA, and it might have been crossed with it... but thats Not Grape ape.

There are NO Grape ape seeds. its a clone only strain....

Sour Grapes and Oregon Grape are the closest Seeds you can find to The real GT Grape ape from Apothecary Genetic's.

P.S: Being my Favorite strain, i know alot about Grape Ape....

Damn, I didn't know that. It must be crossed then because I got them from some decent bud like 2 years ago and got these seeds and grew a few and it turned into this. It also tasted and smelt like grape ape after I cured it perfectly and smoked some of it. Thats why I thought it was grape ape. IMG_0230.jpg
