Apricot Delight

Week 1, here we go! The support here has been amazing and I looking forward to meeting more fellow medicine growers, building stronger existing relationships, and helping when I can. It's been a good start for this little apricot I'm excited about this about this one, I've been hearing so many good things about this strain. I have my grow light at 80% power at 36 inches from the canopy this week. For my soil I'm using a mixture of Fox Farm soils and organic perlite to help aerate, promotes root growth and prevent soil compaction. Day 1: Light watering only around the plant with plain PH'd filtered well water Day 2: Rest Day 😀 Day 3: Light watering only around the plant with PH'd water and biobizz root juice Day 4: Rest Day 😀 Day 5: Light watering around the plant with PH'd water and biobizz root juice Day 6: Rest Day 😀 Day 7: Light watering around the plant with PH'd water and biobizz root juice Happy Growing Everyone!

Welcome to week 2, thanks for stopping by and checking out my Apricot, cheers! 😀 Picking up some steam this week and started to see some decent growth. With some colder night temperatures and to keep her warm I've had to change the light schedule to 24/0 with 30 DLI and she doesn't seem to mind. I plan on going back to 20/4 when I can keep the tent at at least 20C at night when the light is off. Day 8: Gave her a full soaking with PH'd water and Biobizz root juice Day 9: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Day 10: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Day 11: The first couple of inches of soil was dry so I gave about 1L of PH'd water Day 12: Starting to see some decent growth Day 13: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Day 14: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Happy Growing Everyone!

Welcome to week 3, thanks for stopping by and checking out my Apricot, cheers! 😀 Seeing significant growth this week, but noticed some droopy leaves. Not sure what is causing it, usually from what I read it is too much water, which isn't the case. It also could be that the soil is too hot and the drooping is caused by nitrogen toxicity. I haven't added any nutes this week... My other plants aren't bothered by it and they have the same soil mix, maybe this Apricot is a bit more sensitive to nutes. She is growing fast even with the droopy leaves, I'll just continue to monitor. Day 15: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Day 16: The first couple of inches of soil was dry so I gave about 1L of PH'd water Day 17: Started LST by bending over the main stem to open and even out the canopy Day 18: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Day 19: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Day 20: The first couple of inches of soil was dry so I gave about 1L of PH'd water Day 21: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Happy Growing Everyone!

Welcome to week 4, thanks for stopping by and checking out my Apricot, cheers! 😀 Seeing significant growth and water intake. She is beautiful.. I haven't added any nutes this week... but noticed some curling leaves. Not sure what is causing it, usually it caused by too much water, which isn't the case. It also could be that the soil is too hot and the drooping is caused by nitrogen toxicity. My other plants aren't bothered by it and they have the same soil mix, maybe this Apricot is a bit more sensitive or it is just an genetic thing. She is growing fast regardless so I'll just continue to monitor. Day 22: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Day 23: She really started to drink water now... gave about 1L of PH'd water Day 24: Continued LST and rotated plant in the garden 😀 Day 25: Soil dried out quickly so added more water this time, 1L...

Welcome to week 5, thanks for stopping by and checking out my Apricot, cheers! 😀 Seeing significant growth and water intake, flowering is really taking off as well. 👈 This Apricot is a picky one, something is off that I can't quite figure it out. I see some brown spots on random leaves and some chlorosis on some random and top leaves. I'm thinking that she just could be hungry, I've been very light on the nutes, I'll increase them to see how she responds. Regardless she is still drinking and growing strong. Day 29: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Day 30: She really started to drink water now... fed and watered with 2L, PH'd to 6.5 Day 31: Continued LST and performed a light defoliation 😀 Day 32: Soil dried out quickly so gave about 2L of water, PH'd to 6.4 Day 33: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Day 34: Feed and watered with 2L, PH'd to 6.5 Day 35: Just monitoring and enjoying watching her grow Happy Growing Everyone!

Welcome to week 6 grow family, thanks for stopping by and checking out my Apricot! 😀 I posted my garden photo, my tent is getting full. Flowers are really bulking up this week although I'm having issues.👈 Luckily she looks like she will be ready at week 9. She really suffered from nutrient deficiencies, I used a new soil combo and I was too light on the nutes and is showing. You can really see the leaf damage. I've increased the nutes to full dose and watering until 20% runoff. I've also started using Real Growers Recharge for the first time. Regardless she is still drinking and growing strong.

Welcome to week 9 grow family, thanks for stopping by and checking out my Apricot! 😀 Harvest week! Man she finished fast, she was super easy to trim and I ended up with some nice scissor hash. The smell is amazing, very fruity and with touch of chemical smell. I'll be posting a smoke report her in about 3 weeks. I want to give a big shout out the grow community and specifically @Tropicannibis_Todd, @Sour_D, and @XII_XII_MrGreen for all the help and advice giving during this grow and my other grows. Nothing like having grow buddies there when you need them, thank you again!
