Apricot Automatic from 420 Fast Buds

CannaArchive Environment: Temperature: ~26 °C Humidity: ~72% RH Watering / Feeding: During this week, both plants were watered with RO water supplemented with CalMag to help reduce early stress and support root and cell development. No base nutrients were added at this stage. Observations: Week 2 was mainly focused on recovery after the early seed shell issues. Apricot Auto #1 responded well and began to stabilize, showing improved leaf development and a healthier overall appearance. Apricot Auto #2 remained slower and showed delayed development, with lighter leaf color compared to #1, but stayed alive and stable. 🌱 Lowering the humidity from very high germination levels helped improve overall plant stability and root activity. No training or plant manipulation was performed. The main goal this week was to keep conditions steady and allow the plants to recover naturally before pushing growth 😊

CannaArchive Environment: Temperature: ~25–26 °C Humidity: ~65 % RH Light intensity: increased up to ~350 PPFD Watering / Feeding: Watering frequency was adjusted based on pot weight, roughly every three days. Apricot #1: ~1 L per watering Apricot #2: ~1 L per watering Both plants received RO water with CalMag. Additionally, 1 application of Green House Bio Enhancer and 1 application of Bio Tabs Orgatrex was given during the week. Observations: This week showed clearer differences between the two plants: Apricot Auto #1 is developing well and continues to grow at a healthy pace, showing good leaf structure and improved vigor. Apricot Auto #2 is still growing slower but steady. The plant remains smaller, yet progress is visible and the newer leaves look better than in previous weeks. Leaf color overall looks healthy green, with Apricot #2 slightly lighter compared to the other two plants in the tent. Training / Work Done: No training was applied. I decided to avoid stress and only gently tucked leaves where necessary to improve light exposure. Light intensity was intentionally increased this week after keeping it lower (~150 PPFD) earlier on to allow the plants to fully stabilize before pushing growth.😊🌱

CannaArchive Growth Stage: Transition / Pre-Flower Environment: Temperature: ~25–26 °C Humidity: ~60–62 % RH Light intensity: increased to ~500 PPFD Watering / Feeding: Plants were watered with plain water + CalMag during this week. No base nutrients were added, as the focus was on keeping stress low during the transition into flowering. Observations: Week 3 marked the start of pre-flowering for both Apricot Autos. Apricot Auto #1 showed the first white pistils about one day after the Amnesia, clearly indicating the transition into flower. Growth looks stable, and the plant continues to improve compared to the earlier weeks. Apricot Auto #2 entered pre-flower about one day after #1. While still noticeably smaller and less developed, it also showed clear signs of flowering and continued growing steadily. The transition into flower felt slightly early for the Apricots, but the decision was made to let them run naturally without any intervention. Training / Work Done: No training or manipulation was done this week. The plants were left untouched to avoid unnecessary stress during the transition phase. Notes: Week 3 was mainly about observation and stability. Both Apricot Autos successfully entered pre-flower and are now preparing for the upcoming stretch and early flowering phase.

CannaArchive Growth Stage: Early Flower / Stretch Light intensity was increased to around 750 PPFD. ☀️ Temperature stayed stable at ~26°C with ~60% RH. Both plants were in their 20L final pots. Watering / Feeding: Watered every 2–3 days, based on pot weight, using RO water + CalMag. 💧 During this week they received: 1x Green House Bio Enhancer 1x BioTabs Orgatrex BioTabs Bio PK was planned to start the following week. Observations: Week 4 clearly marked the beginning of the stretch phase. 🌿 Apricot #2 stretched significantly more and became the tallest plant in the tent. Apricot #1 stretched more moderately and stayed more compact. Only very few pistils were visible at this point, as the plants were still primarily focused on vertical growth. Overall plant health looked good. Apricot #2 showed slightly drooping leaf tips, but this remained stable and did not worsen. Notes: This week was the transition from vegetative growth into active flowering. The stretch was clearly underway, and the canopy started to differentiate between the two phenotypes. 🌱💪

CannaArchive Growth Stage: Early Flower / Stretch Environment: Temperature: ~26 °C Humidity: ~60 % RH Light intensity: increased to ~850 PPFD. ☀️ Watering / Feeding: Watered every 2–3 days, based on pot weight, using RO water + CalMag. 💧 During this week, the plants received 1x BioTabs Bio PK. Observations: Stretch continued clearly during Week 5. Apricot #2 stretched even more and is now definitively the tallest plant in the tent. Apricot #1 stretched more moderately. To balance the canopy, #1 was placed on a crate so both plants now sit at roughly the same height. 🙂 The first pistils became clearly visible at the forming bud sites, marking the transition into proper flowering. 🌸 Both plants look vital and healthy overall. Leaf posture is mostly neutral, although #2 still shows slightly drooping tips, which remained stable. Notes: Week 5 represents the overlap between stretch and early bud initiation. With increased PPFD and the first Bio PK application, the plants are now fully entering the flowering phase. 🌱💪

CannaArchive Light intensity was increased to around 1000 PPFD under stable conditions.☀️ Temperature stayed at ~25°C with ~50% RH. Both plants remained in their 20L final pots. Watering was done every 2–3 days, based on pot weight, using RO water + CalMag.💧 Additionally, the plants received 1x BioTabs Bio PK during this week. By the end of Week 6, the stretch was basically finished.🌿 Apricot #2 remained the tallest plant in the tent. Apricot #1 stayed more compact but looked overall better structured and more balanced. Bud sites were clearly forming, though still relatively small at this stage. A large number of pistils were visible, showing that the plants had fully transitioned into flower. 🌸 The first trichomes were already noticeable, but aroma was still subtle. Leaf color remained a healthy green, and overall plant health looked stable and strong.

CannaArchive Week 7 showed a clear increase in resin production. Trichomes are now well visible across all bud sites and the plants are starting to look properly frosty. ✨ Light intensity is running at ~1050–1100 PPFD. Environment stayed stable at ~25°C and ~52% RH. Both plants are in 20L pots and were watered every 2–3 days with RO water + CalMag. During this week they received 1x Green House Bio Enhancer and 1x BioTabs Bio PK. 💧 Phenotype differences are becoming more obvious: • Apricot #2 remains the tallest plant, with slightly wider internodal spacing due to stronger stretch. Buds are a bit thicker individually, foliage slightly darker and some subtle purple tones are showing on the branches. Leaf tips are still slightly drooping but stable. • Apricot #1 stayed more compact with tighter node spacing and a very balanced structure. Bud size has now caught up and looks just as promising. A light defoliation was performed this week (likely the last one), and both plants handled it without any stress reaction. 🌿 The aroma is getting noticeably stronger, sweet, fruity and tropical. Overall plant size is smaller compared to previous runs, so yield expectations are moderate, but bud quality and resin production look very promising. 💪

CannaArchive Week 8 showed strong bud development and a noticeable increase in trichome production. Both plants are now clearly entering the later stages of flowering. ✨ Light intensity stayed around ~1100 PPFD. Environment remained stable at ~24°C and ~50% RH. Both plants continued to be watered every 2–3 days with RO water + CalMag, based on pot weight. 💧 During this week Apricot #2 developed rust-colored / yellow spots on the small leaves near the buds, which suggested a possible nutrient imbalance or early lockout. To be safe, both plants were flushed twice with water + CalMag. After the second flush the issue did not worsen, although the damaged leaves remained visible. Despite this, overall flower development progressed very well. 🌸 Apricot #1 looks very healthy and stable with a compact structure and now produces buds just as thick as #2. Apricot #2 remains the slightly darker phenotype and still shows the previously observed leaf tip droop, but overall development stayed stable after the flush. Trichome coverage increased significantly this week and the smell became noticeably stronger, developing into a sweet, fruity, tropical aroma. The plants are relatively small compared to some previous runs, but the bud quality and resin production look very promising so far. 💪🌿

CannaArchive Week 9 showed clear progression into the final ripening stage. Bud size didn’t change much visually, but trichome development advanced noticeably. 🌸 Most trichomes turned milky, giving the plants a slightly white, frosty appearance. Light intensity remained stable at ~1100 PPFD. Environment stayed consistent at ~26°C and ~50–52% RH. Both plants were watered every 2–3 days with RO water + CalMag, based on pot weight. 💧 During this week, Apricot #2 developed rust-colored / yellow spots on smaller leaves near the buds, which led to a precautionary flush. Both plants were flushed once thoroughly with water + CalMag at around pH 6.5 to reset the medium. After flushing, the issue did not worsen. Phenotype observations: Apricot #1 continues to look healthy and stable, with a compact structure and consistent bud development. Apricot #2 shows the earlier leaf spotting but remains stable overall. Buds continue to swell and maintain good density. Aroma intensified further this week. The Apricots are now producing a strong sweet, fruity, tropical smell, becoming very noticeable in the tent. 🙂 The Amnesia Skittlez in the same environment appears slightly behind in development, with smaller buds and less pronounced trichome production at this stage.😊

CannaArchive Week 10 marked the beginning of harvest. Trichomes were checked closely throughout the week to determine the perfect timing. 🌾 Light intensity remained around ~1000 PPFD until harvest. Environment stayed stable at ~24°C and ~50% RH. Both plants were only watered with RO water + CalMag, no additional nutrients were given. 💧 Harvest observations: Apricot #2 reached full maturity first. Trichomes were fully milky with visible amber, and no clear heads remaining. The plant was removed from the tent on 04.02., placed in darkness for 48 hours, and then harvested on 06.02. ✂️ Apricot #1 is slightly behind but clearly approaching the finish line. It will be given a few more days to fully ripen. Bud & aroma: Buds are dense and well formed. #1: sweet and tropical #2: sweet, tropical with a slightly floral note Overall structure differences remain visible: #2 taller with wider internodes #1 more compact and balanced
