The Apple Fritter Automatic has proven to be quite the producer, yielding massive, dense buds that were often tinged with a delightful purple hue. The rosin production on these flowers was nothing short of impressive, leaving them glistening with trichomes.
While I was a bit disappointed to encounter some minor mold issues, despite maintaining relatively low humidity levels around 40-45% during the flowering phase, the overall quality of the harvest more than made up for it. These things can sometimes happen.
The high from this strain is truly enjoyable, offering a predominantly uplifting and euphoric experience. It's a great choice for those looking to boost their mood and creativity.
Overall, the Apple Fritter Automatic is a strain worth considering for growers seeking large yields and a potent, uplifting high. With a bit of extra care during the grow, you can expect to harvest some truly impressive buds.
Works very well together with the CANNA Soil. You can give the Plant huge amounts of water without overwartering.
I would recommend it without reservation.
For harvesting, I cut the stem and dried the entire plant in the tent for 13-16 days at approximately 50% RH and 18°C, with gentle indirect airflow. Afterward, I removed the dried individual buds from the branches and trimmed them finely. Finally, I stored them in airtight glass jars with 62% Boveda packs. I will burp them everyday for two weeks.
Unfortunately, despite maintaining controlled RH levels during the flowering phase around 40%-45%, I had to discard some buds due to mold.
Very impressive root development.
I am very satisfied with my second grow. It was much more efficient compared to my first attempt. Despite using only one plant and shortening the vegetative phase by a month, I achieved a higher yield than with three plants during my first grow.
Another major improvement was drying the buds under optimal conditions. Unlike my first grow, where summer temperatures occasionally reached 30°C, this time I dried them in a controlled environment. The difference is remarkable—the properly dried buds are noticeably more resinous and flavorful.
It was also rewarding to experiment with topping as a training method. Combined with LST, this approach worked so well that I plan to continue using it.
Why is the pH of the runoff so much higher than the pH of the irrigation water? Is the runoff or the irrigation water more important to consider?
Canna Terra Professional Plus and BioBizz pH-
The pH lowering effect seems to vanish in the fertilizer solution after one to two days
It's just cause what you put in. Gets mixed at the end
Like your input has a set ppm..as the plant eats. It changes the makeup of out put therefore giving a different ph.
It's that simple.
When and how do you switch from Canna Vega to Canna Flores? Feel free to share any tips. What are your "signals"?
Do you suggest a hard switch like in the Canna schedule, or do you prefer transitioning by mixing the fertilizers?
If you need more info, please check the diary.
I wouldn't mix the two. I would just go ahead and start feeding the bloom mix as you are in flower now. By the time you would see signals it would mean you are already defficent s you dont want to do that. i would just follow the directions the best you can and you should be good to go. Good luck, looking good!
By what visual indicators do you determine the ideal timing for giving a week of PK13/14? The stretch seems mostly complete, the buds are thickening daily, and the first trichomes are appearing on the sugar leaves. Should I start now or wait a few more days?
Diary for more info
Dr. Bruce did a study on this and has concluded that this industry in general is giving way too much Phosphorus during the life of the plant. However, he did say that during the first weeks of flower to roughly the sixth week, extra phosphorous has helped increase yield.
Just be careful as I have seen so many people ruin the plant using too much PK boost.
Hope this helps.
Hello
I will harvest at the end of November.
What are the pros and cons of flushing plants pre-harvest?
Do you believe flushing significantly impacts the taste of the final product?
Do you personally flush your plants, and if so, what is your specific flushing routine?
Thanks
I agree with a lot of the posts below, Flushing is a myth.
Its not going to leach anything out of the plant but it will leach out of the soil and plants can't make something from nothing.
Let them use up the left over nutrients in the pot, don't give them more last 2 weeks of life, but also don't dump gallons of water on them to "flush" the medium out.
A nice good tasting weed will happen in the slow drying process and slower curing process.
In short don't do it. Its dumb and broscience.
Very cool grow report! On soil, what you have produced is an absolutely brilliant result. The Apple Fritter strain is really great. The buds become super resinous and firm. Keep it up. What's next?
I love that I came by your page, I really like what I see!. If you have time to spare, please come over I have 5 diaries going on at once. Would be fun to have you over! Good luck with everything and I’m sending my best wishes for you and your future grows! /LST 😃🌱
