Apfelblüten

Borberad 🌸 Apple Blossom Grow-Journal Our journey with the Apple Blossom from Humboldt Seed Company. According to the breeder, we can expect a photoperiod hybrid lady (50% Indica / 50% Sativa), bred from Blueberry Muffin × Dream Queen. Sounds like a mix of dessert and daydream – definitely a strain that whets the appetite just by reading about it. Apple Blossom is said to not only bloom beautifully but also quickly: about 45 days of flowering time indoors, which is almost like speed dating in cannabis cultivation. Outdoors, it’s harvest time from mid to late September – just before the autumn rains want to hit the buds. The genetics pack a punch: 26–30% THC – definitely not something for a “quick breakfast” hit. More for creative sessions or after work when you feel like letting your thoughts wander without immediately merging with the couch. As for the scent: Humboldt describes it as “apple blossom in the garden with a hint of citrus, vanilla, and pine.” So basically like a stroll through grandma’s orchard, only grandma is secretly holding a vaporizer. Regarding growth: Growers report that Apple Blossom is quite straightforward – robust against mold, bushy, with a good mix of stretch and structure. Indoors, you can expect 500–650 g/m², and outdoors even up to 700 g per plant. Sounds like a candidate for well-filled jars. 👉 Conclusion for the Diary: We’re dealing with a plant that is scientifically exciting (THC power, fast growth, stable genetics) and at the same time wonderfully practical for everyday use (straightforward, aromatic, high-yielding). Now it’s time to turn on the lights, prepare the substrate – and see if this lady lives up to what Humboldt Seed promises. Week 1: Germination Week 0.1 The germination of the Apple Blossom has begun. * Day 0.1: After soaking for 10 hours in 1% H₂O₂, it’s time for germination and the first weeks in an Easys Plug. * Day 0.2: The first patience phase begins. We’re waiting for the seed to break its shell. * Day 0.3: The first signs of life are visible. The seed is lifting out of the substrate. We then increased the DLI from about 12 to 16 to give the seedling enough light as it unfolds its cotyledons. * Day 0.4: The plant has lifted out of the plug! The seed was probably not placed deep enough. To avoid damaging the root, the seedling along with the plug was placed in a 400ml pot. * Day 0.5: We slightly opened the cover to lower the relative humidity to about 80% and increased the light intensity to 20 DLI. * Day 0.6: Everything is under control. The plant shows vigorous growth. * Day 0.7: The light dome has been removed. The relative humidity is now dropping to 60–65%, which encourages the plant to build a strong root system. * Fertilization & Measurements: No fertilizer or water needed.
