My first time with APE (pics) * 2
    #26752819 - 06/17/20 09:04 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

I'll keep a little journal here of my experience with APE in a monotub. It's also my first time trying a casing on any mono as I have only grown B+ before. Let me know what you think I could improve on. Also, hopefully I can have some success with making swabs, but it's still very new to me. Is the main reason to expand a print into multiple swabs to spread around to the community?

The reason people use swabs is because some types like PE and ape don’t make prints. You gotta get in there and get the spores yourself.

Thanks guys. I just harvested the whole batch. Took me and a friend 4+ hours because of how small and covered in coir they were. I think this harvesting experience will end any desire I had to grow these again, even though I did clone one of the big guys. I also took some spore swabs that I can share with the community. I'll update with with my total harvest weight when dry.

Harvesting goes much quicker once you get used to it and learn little tricks.


Ape potency is usually worth the wait and the cleaning at harvest.

I hope so. For 2 tubs I got 200 dry grams for the first flush. We'll see if I get a second flush.. Can you give me one little trick you learned? Those guys are tiny and the coir is all embedded in its fluffy stems.

This might not help you much but if I have a bunch of small mush like that or when I get side pins or anything that gets real dirty I just add it to my “tea/extract” pile. I just chop them all down and toss in the dehydrator, all the coir and whatever else will get filtered out later. That stuff I keep as my personal and I save the pretty, clean mush for giving out.

Coir won’t hurt you. Make tea and don’t make it too strong, weaker than you’re used to would be a good place to be. My first time doing APE I took a small tester dose and still ended up on the floor.

lol I’m just about to harvest my first ape tub but I had the same experience with PE. My normal test dose the first time I grew them wrecked me. I was stuck on how crazy it is that my body is like a machine that my mind rides around in.


As for tricks idk about ape but normal PE usually pops off almost clean if you wait long enough and then slowly twist and pull it off. Using a toothbrush to clean coir off works too but I’ve gotten good enough at using my fingernails that I don’t do that often.

Normal cubes I mostly harvest with a blade anyway, no messing with cleaning them that way.

Cutting APE to harvest was one of the more annoying things I’ve tried in the hobby. Just twist em and they pop right off.

Also while PE APE PEU etc do tend to be more potent, like all things from spores nothing is guaranteed. I did grow bunk PE once.
