FB Apple Strudel

Selkot . After a two-week break to properly dry and start the curing of my latest West Coast OG harvest, it’s time to kick off the summer grow! 😎 I generally tend to favor indica-dominant strains. They’re often more resilient, especially when it comes to lower temperatures. Living in northwestern Europe and growing in my basement means conditions are far from tropical. However, with four lights running in my tent and a hot summer on the way, I’m taking the opportunity to grow a sativa-dominant strain this time around. (And for anyone still doubting climate change, come and see what we’re producing both indoors and outdoors in my region these days...) I chose Apple Strudel from FB, a third-generation genetic line that looks absolutely stunning in the photos. I’m going to try to replicate those results and see for myself whether this plant can really reach the claimed 29% THC! Germination went perfectly: the seeds cracked and developed strong taproots after just 2½ days in moist paper towels. They were then transplanted into a substrate consisting of 15% clay pebbles, 15% perlite, and 70% coco coir, in brand-new, spotless 4-gallon pots. They were placed in my 120 × 120 × 180 cm grow tent under four Mars Hydro lights totaling 620W. The seedlings look vigorous, so I didn’t wait long before giving them their first feed. They’re currently receiving Voodoo Juice at 1.5 ml/L, and I’ll increase that to 2 ml/L next week if they continue to respond well.
