Welcome to my Apricot Auto Diary sponsored by Fastbuds & Xpert Nutrients..Diary Redo. My other Apricot Diary can't be accessed. Weeks 1-3 will be used with Plagron and then onwards will be all switched to Xpert Nutrients............ .............. MAJOR DISCOUNT & FREE SHIPPING TO EU FROM XPERT NUTRIENTS 15% DISCOUNT (CODE:GGST) https://xpertnutrients.com Weeks 1-2.1 days 1-15 Plant is moving along nicely. Really healthy. Good intake of fluids with soil drying up as it should even in young stages. Kept mosit not to fully let it dry out at this stage would be to high stress. Looks like she has really good bones. Look forward to pushing her to seen what can be achieved. Maintenance Uppoted day 3 into an 11L pot. There was no roots at the end of pot. So no stress whatsoever happened. And with her rapid pace in growing. I don't see any, and began & removed the 1 fingered leafs & nodes that would of sapped up energy and been small and outgrown by the sets above. Thanks to Heather from Fastbuds for the seeds and to my Rep from Xpert Nutrients. Also to all my viewers I thank you and look forward to seen your diaries. Either way, thanks for stopping by.

Welcome to my Apricot Auto Diary sponsored by Fastbuds. Veg Days 15-21 Week 3 Plant is picking up pace. Really lush growth. No defoliations in any hard way that would cause stress. Just good feed, kept the soil from drying up too much. Looking forward to trying this baby in 3-4 months. I'll have cheeky taste to see the high and all. But, it would be a sin to not cure something with such a terpine profile. Nutrients Kept the feeds light but steady not letting the soil dry up too much. 2 feeds a wk around 450-500 and then fish force, pure/power zym/roots has helped this plants substrate have great intake. Rapid lush growth. Healthy and no signs of slowing down. Sticking with plagron Nutrients for the rest of veg and then I'll be switching to Xpert Nutrients for all my plants that have just came into veg or still in or leaving pre flower. Maintenance She was hardly touched. Not much to do but keep a level DLI. 5-600ppfd a little high. But, there's no high signs of stress. So, overall I'm really happy with the progress of growth. Thanks to Heather from Fastbuds for allowing me to try their strains. And to Xpert Nutrients who's full line will be used for flowering.

Welcome to my LSD-25 Auto sponsored by Fastbuds. Days 22-28 Plant has started her pre stretch before coming into pre fower. Really happy with how quickly she moved through her 3rd week of veg. Giving a really nice auto base that I knew, although short she had good bones and energy intakes (leaves on nodes). Lots of major fan leafs continued growing. Allowing me to remove the old big 1s under the nodes. And in this instance it really helped her take of and she was a real pleasure to push through veg. Lights Used Using my FC-3000 for the next phase of veg from my SF-1000. Change in light spectrums are very simar. So, no stress at all. Both have IR/UV in them. (But not anymore. These 2 things are now not in the core Spider-Farmer/Mars-Hydro lights anymore. But do sell individual IR/UV bars that pack much more of a punch and allowing you to control the amount of time they on. And in pre fower. They cause plants to stretch too much. So they need an extra bit of % power wise to keep it from stretching) Nutrients used: I was using Plagron and until the end of pre fower they will stay on Plagron this week Alga Grow was stopped to give Alga Bloom. I'll be then switching to Xpert Nutrients. Big change from fully organic but still I need to add non organic nutrients. So, I decided not to change to a dedicated cannabis nutrient & could not get ph or any issues from it resolved, something mineral nutrients can be fixed with much more ease. Amazing advanced nutrient. They've even gave me a gift for you guys who are interested. !!!!DISCOUNT CODE!!!GGST!!!DISCOUNT CODE!!! Thanks to my sponsors and to all who stop by. I look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for stopping by.

Welcome to my 5th week of my Apricot Auto Diary sponsored by Fastbuds. Week 5, 1st week of pre flower. Plant pushed nicely into pre flower, but on a good few cm but isn't leggy. Has good bones. Plant has been In an 11L pot, currently she's still getting 17hrs under my FC 3000. Soon I'll have to put her onto a 13.5hr with my FC3000 running at 100%. Not much has been done, nor should there be. As it's right in pre flower. And she got a hard defoliation (which could of went wrong). But it is starting to fill out nicely. DLI was 36-37 Thanks to Heather from Fastbuds. (This really is your best tasting plant I've had, (I've harvested this), excellent strebght. And huge yields. Great strain. Thanks to Mars-Hydro also whose FC3000 has been working since I got it nearly 2yrs now. Amazing light. Thanks to Ellen.

Plant is fattening nicely. No issues with nutrient tox/Def. Smells astounding. Really Fruity smell. Just working on her stinks the place up. And my fingers stick to everything. Building really nice resin glands. She glistens in the light. Buds swelling really nicely, aroma is getting pungent. DLI at 47-48 900-950 ppf over 14hrs.

Week 10. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!
Rated
10/10

Just an amazing Auto. Definitely my Favourite from Fastbuds. Got over 74g of dried bud. The buds are super dense. The smell, is just so powerful. Defo a tropical fruit like apricots. Touch of damkness. Took 2 weeks to dry. Hung whole & the outcome was 1 of my finest for my auto growing nearly 3yrs kosher kush my 2nd. But this is a cut above the rest. No wonder it won AWC. 10☆ all day long. 70 Days or so and I harvested her whole, took. Best part of 14 days to dry at 17-18c and 55-60RH in a dark bathroom with air vent exchange running every few hrs on timer. Exchanges the air 4-6 times a day. 1000 odd grams for this crop. 15-20 plants in this part of my harvest(s) 85-90 from this.

Really happy to harvest this girl. Made sure I pushed her to the max. Just about 70 days. She was done around 65. 14hrs into pre fower and beyond. I find that with High ppf with less hrs. Makes for much better phenos. Really happy to say. This is SUCH A 100% TOP strain. And it'll be 500% a auto that I'll repeat Mind you I've hardly ever repeated any strains. Except mimosa X orange punch auto and super lemon haze. And a few CBDs. So, if anything that should speak volumes to me saying this is a tip top strain. Going to run her with one of their new autos, apple strudel is meant to have very high terps. All about the taste. And this Apricot Auto from Fastbuds has this in spades.

Looking great bro! I had the pleasure of growing Apricot and is curing now, it was the fastest strain I've grow so far with rock hard buds in just 8 weeks. I'll be posting a smoke report soon, but I had a small taster and it was very uplifting and relaxing, the smell is amazing too. Happy Growing! 👊
