Horrendous week - weather terrible, barely a moment of sunshine. A little bit in the morning but otherwise grey and overcast. Surprised at how well they are doing considering the circumstances. Temperatures are good - humidity is also probably quite pleasant for them in their little makeshift greenhouse.
Have moved half outside. Seem big enough not to get eaten by birds (famous last words)
Weather should pick up next week and I'm hoping to see a nice boost.
Well, the sun has finally come out to play and good weather has been restored.
Using the heat to dry up some of that rain water - the pots were water-logged for a good 2 - 3 days - now they're finally starting to feel a lot lighter.
Same nutrient schedule.
Surprised to see the cheap seeds (all the Linda grows) are doing so well - outperforming some of the big guns here. But time will tell :)
Another tough week - still experiencing good days up to the afternoon and then torrential downpours for the evening.
Temperatures are good and plants do seem okay in general - there's been a massive shift between week 4 and 5 - They're starting to really take shape now.
Added Bio Bizz Cal Mag to nutrients
Another week, another downpour.
Mostly stable weather - but now it's climbing rapidly with temps expected to exceed the 30s this weekend. So it's a race against time at this point - and this is why it's best to plant autos late April in this zone.
I'm not sure, but I think I'm discovering the joys of cal mag this year. Never used it before - and just adding 1ml per litre - and using once a week. But is this the magic nectar that makes plants super fat? Either that or the regular sprays of Fish Mix on the leaves every evening. But I'm leaning towards the cal mag. Something is certainly different this year - yields are looking like they'll be a lot higher across the board :)
A super hot week with moderate humidity during the night.
Interesting to compare all these plants to see how much genetics plays a roll in things. All plants are treated equally, but they're not all guaranteed to come out the same - with all sorts of shapes and sizes.
At 9 weeks from seed I'm now frantically trying to figure out when to harvest - I use a magnifying glass with 50x zoom (or something like that) - Trichomes are generally cloudy, some clear and just a hint of brown. So, certainly another week for most. This is always the most difficult part for me.
As always with Sweet Seeds, they were strong/robust plants and very easy to grow. Far more consistent across the 4 seeds than their other newer strains (Mimosa Bruce Banner, for example)
Opening this now after a three month dry/cure and stored in vac sealed bags - the buds are incredibly dense, I mean really, really, packed together - almost solid. The buds are fat and this one has a really high resin content (again, compared to the others this year)
The smoke is smooth and hits with a mighty wallop - intense, certainly, but manageable intense. I swear I do smell apricots when I smell the jar now - a strong smell of apricot.
I have to give this strain a convincing 10/10 - probably my favourite of the 2023 Sweet Seeds strains so far.
Hey wonderful grow , bravo :) i Will grow some this year too , hope they Will be beautifull like theses babies. What was the size (capacity) of the flower pot ?
@Rhizohm, I used 10 litre pots with these. I finished vaping this harvest very recently. Definitely a 10/10 from me, and one of the very best from last year. Beautiful flavour, terpine profile and amazing high. Good luck with the grow :) Grows really well outdoors in something like a Mediterranean climate - start time depends on weather. Looking back on my comments - definitely don't harvest too early. You can see the difference above - plant 1 = 26g (dry) and plant 4 = 77g (dry). I should have waited with the other three for a bigger yield.
@Rhizohm, Thanks :) I just finished vaping this about a week ago... and really sad to see it all gone. Definitely in the top 3 from last year's harvest, and (I think?) the best Sweet Seeds from that lot as well. Had really mixed results with the Mimosa Bruce Banner - out of the autos, this Orange Apricot was just perfect. A lot of resin, wonderful aroma and a really pleasant high. I'm not sure about the pot size - I just have two, small and big - and these were in the big pots. I know, that's absolutely useless... I honestly don't know, I do it all by sight.
