So as I said before this plant grew deformed and irregular from the start and was the only seed to germinate out of all 3. I wasn't sure if she was going to make it! But she pushed through and produced a beautiful, sticky, smelly plant that started to smell early on as sweet mango that developed into musky, earthy tropical fruits... Incredible smell! Will update dry report in a week or two! 20.12 So all is dry now and placed in jar to cure. 38g of dried bud in the end, not massive yield but didn't expect too much. The smoke is gorgeous even before curing it is mouth watering and delicious, makes me super energetic for like 30/50 minutes and then boom I'm locked down, happy but motionless.

Little lady born on 2/21/2020. Really happy to watch her grow. I haven’t been able to grow out this strain before so I’m stoked on it. She’s on day 8 and showing her beautiful self. Let’s see what this journey has for us. Thanks for awesome genetics !!!!

5/30 update: both plants have been jarred for curing! A little disappointed with the over all yield but a lot to learn from this first grow! Expert seeds gg#4 comin next 👌0

Trainwreck and Brucey now in flower room 5 gals going 15/9. Need to feed the TW or color is ok for sativa? The greenpoint OBS was fimmed and recovering. Same for the strawberry sorbet going way better.

Jetzt beginnt die Ernte langsam ihren Schatten vorauszuwerfen. Jede Woche zeigt diese Apricot Auto ein neues Gesicht. Was vor wenigen Wochen noch wie eine sauber trainierte Outdoor-Pflanze aussah, entwickelt sich nun immer mehr zu einer beeindruckenden Sammlung harziger Colas. Das Training der vergangenen Wochen macht sich jetzt richtig bezahlt. Die offene Pflanzenstruktur sorgt dafür, dass nahezu jeder Haupttrieb ausreichend Licht erhält und sich gleichmäßig entwickeln kann. Statt einer dominanten Hauptblüte stehen inzwischen zahlreiche kräftige Colas im Mittelpunkt, die Woche für Woche an Größe und Dichte gewinnen. Besonders schön zu beobachten ist die Entwicklung der Blüten. Die Kelche beginnen sichtbar anzuschwellen, viele der ersten Blütenstempel färben sich bereits orange, während an den Spitzen weiterhin frische weiße Pistillen entstehen. Genau diese Mischung zeigt, dass die Pflanze noch einmal ordentlich Energie in den Endspurt investiert. Auch die Harzproduktion legt deutlich zu. Inzwischen sind nicht nur die Buds selbst, sondern auch die Sugar Leaves von einer dicken Trichomschicht überzogen. Je näher man herangeht, desto deutlicher wird, wie frostig die Blüten mittlerweile aussehen. Die großen Fächerblätter verlieren langsam etwas Farbe – ein typisches Bild einer Pflanze, die ihre gespeicherten Reserven zunehmend in die Blütenbildung steckt. Insgesamt wirkt sie jedoch weiterhin vital, stabil und ausgesprochen gesund. Jetzt beginnt die spannendste Phase. Von Woche zu Woche werden die Blüten dichter, schwerer und aromatischer. Wenn das Wetter weiterhin mitspielt, dürfte in den kommenden Tagen noch einmal ein ordentlicher Gewichtszuwachs bevorstehen. Ich freue mich schon darauf zu sehen, wie sich diese Apricot Auto auf den letzten Metern noch einmal entwickelt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The finish line is finally coming into sight. Every week this Apricot Auto reveals a new side of herself. What started as a carefully trained outdoor plant has now transformed into a beautiful canopy full of resin-covered colas. The training from the previous weeks is now paying off perfectly. The open structure allows almost every top to receive excellent sunlight, resulting in an even canopy where multiple main colas continue to develop together instead of a single dominant top. The flowers have clearly entered their swelling phase. The calyxes are becoming thicker, many of the early pistils have already turned orange, while fresh white hairs continue to emerge on the upper buds. This combination is always a great sign that the plant is still pushing hard toward the finish. Resin production has increased noticeably once again. The buds are becoming increasingly frosty, and even the sugar leaves are now heavily coated in sparkling trichomes. Up close, the flowers are beginning to develop that sticky, icy appearance every grower hopes to see. Some of the larger fan leaves are gradually fading as the plant redirects its stored nutrients into flower production. This is a completely natural part of late flowering, while the overall plant still looks healthy, vigorous and well-balanced. Now comes the most exciting stage of the entire grow. Every passing day adds a little more weight, a little more density and another layer of resin. If the weather stays cooperative, the final weeks should reward all the patience invested since day one. I can't wait to see how this Apricot Auto finishes her journey.

Best harvest yet....this strain will always be in my garden

She's one of the tallest ones. I love this strain, for me it's a good nighttime - it's especially great at comforting me to sleep if I have a migraine. 😌 Works like a charm every time. I hope this pheno works like the flower I've had.

These two did great even through a lil stress they still came out on top. I almost want to run it back but I think it's time for something fruity maybe, maybe having a terpene profile that helps initiate a more stone heavy affect and be indica heavy.

7/13 It's maine-ing out. Overcast and misting. I guess it rained last night but not much. Today is my watering day although I think they could've made it until tomorrow. These drastic temp changes makes it hard to get a STEADY routine in place. I watered everything in the 20's a gallon the 10's 1/2 gallon. The 10th planet in the front was still heavy so I didn't water it. I'll keep an eye on it. Temps are much milder. I noticed a few more septoria leaves on the 10th planet which I promptly defoliated. This pheno is flowering. I could've put this week as flowering as several plants have started. I also saw ONE leaf on my chem dog that had septoria on it. ONE f-ing leaf! I was planning on treating this early anyway so I mixed one gallon of plant doctor 3 tsp gallon/gallon which was the recommendation. I'll monitor this plant and continue treating it the next two weeks. I may do foliar too but the mixture is different. It's a systemic so I don't think that matters as much. Considering getting mulch to protect from spores on the soil. My plants look GORGEOUS. I Hate to use such a nice plant as a guennie pig but I'm not going to sit here and watch it progress. I'm lucky it's really not that bad and that it's on a reveg. There's so many leaves that I would be forced to prune anyway. I'm seeing two MAYBE three leaves a morning but I want to get this under control. Last year u let a plant with septoria go and it finished but went to extracts. I've got a pretty good feeling about this plant doctor. I've used it before with good results. Only time will tell though.🤞 EDIT: WENT OVER AT ABOUT 1PM. ITS 2 NOW AND BLUE SKIES AND SUNNY. IM SUPER GLAD I WATERED AND EVEN MORE SO THAT I APPLIED THE PLANT DOCTOR HOW I DID. THE GIRLS ALL LOOKED AMAZING. THE TENTH PLANET I TREATED WITH PLANT DOCTOR LOOKS THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN IT. I FOUND ON LEAVE DEEP ON THE INTERIOR WITJ A SMALL SPOT BUT ITS SOMETHING IM SURE I MISSED THIS MORNING. IF THIS WORKS THIS GOOD ILL BE APPLYING IT TO EVERYTHING EVEN IF ITS JUST PREVENTATIVE. 7/14 Rained last night andcwas still sprinkling when I went over. Amazingly the 10th planet that I treated with the plant doctorcmix had ZERO visible signs of septoria. I did find one leaf on Mt chem dog and two on my mk ultra with the big leaves. It could've been calcium deficiency but I really doubt it because I think I saw THAT as well. I'm going to wait a day or two and if there are still no negative results and the plant is still looking good I'm going to treat AT LEAST the two others that MAY be infected. It's a systemic and can be used proactively and supposably breaks down into p and k after stimulating immune response. I'll monitor a little longer but as it stands I think I'm going to treat the other two just in case. I also need to start feeding. I've watered a lot more than I normally do so obviously the soil won't last as long. This has been some tricky weather but I'm happy with how things are progressing. I probably should've changed this to the first week of flower as several plants are popping pistols everywhere. EDIT: WENT OVER AROUND NOON AND MIXED UP TEO GALLONS OF PLANT DOCTOR PLANNING TO TREAT THE TWO PLANTS BESIDE THE 10TH PLANET. EVERYTHING LOOKED SO PERFECT AND TOMORROW IS MY WATER DAY SO I DECIDED TO HOLD OFF AND APPLY IT WHEN IT NEEDS WATER ANYWAY. I DID NOTICE THAT PLANTS SEEM TO BE FLOWERING MORE AGGREWWIVELY THAN BEFORE. THINGS ARE GETTING INTERESTING.

Sehr schön. Denke 3 bis 4 Wochen noch dann ist ernte. Autopot läuft sehr gut.

last week before harvest 🤤😋

Que pasa familia, esta semana hemos lavado las raíces de un ejemplar, el otro ejemplar se le sigue echando nutrientes. Ph controlado, intentaremos aguantar esa planta alguna semana más, las otra por lo menos aún le quedan un par de semanas. Ph controlado bajamos humedad a 35% y la temperatura la mantenemos por debajo de 27. Estas flores están cogiendo unas tonalidades increíbles, y empieza a desprender unos aromas brutales como a ácido.

Esta semana pasa a floracion y continua la estimulacion con delta 9 y mañana cambia el fotoperiodo a 12 /12

Not much vertical height change this week, 15cm. Flowering stretch slowing down. That's bad news for me after her first 3 weeks being very slow growing. I missed the window for good veg growth by (I think...) low temps in the tent. As a very small plant cold roots stunts growth. Being an auto you cannot extend the veg period so I'm stuck with her being a very small plant. Nutrients as above added to 10L water along with 5g of 20-20-20 powdered fertiliser. Still... if we're always learning nothing is lost. Just data in the memory bank.

Pre-flowering stage, stretching phase. Today exactly 14.41 hours of light. Average week temperatures 80 °F High humidity, some stormy days. New heat wave is comin' Short and bushy plant, unbelievable cheese smell, if branches are incredibly sticky now, what will happen later? No issues, no pests, no need 4 feed.

May 31st Everything is looking good after the LST from last week, I said I was going to swap them into flower and I realized that I should wait another week or so as they will be going into a new home so to speak. Updates coming next week for that. Doesn't look like to many PH issues anymore or whatever was happening but the plants seem a bit happier now June 1st I Figured today would be a good day to do a bit of defoliation on these girls in order to get some more light down to the newer growth. I didn't take a ton off as you can see, but for the size of the plant I suppose it was a decent amount. I read somewhere that a general rule of thumb is only defoliate roughly 30% of the plant at most. I'm not to sure if it is true but I tried to stay within that general rule. June 2nd, I decided since I would have them in veg for at least a little while long I would top them again. After topping I gave them some water and nutrients. I know I said I would do straight water for the next one but I went for it anyways as it seems the flowering mixture may be giving it some deficiency's. So I gave them the recommended feeding for heavy veg growth. I gave about 3L to the bigger plant and around 2L to the smaller plant (as it was still a bit moist but it wasn't damp). My crappy soil tester was saying my soil was at around 8PH so I figured I would aim to feed around 6ph. With the small amount of runoff from the smaller plant I did A PH test and the PH seemed to be around the 4.5-5ph area. My liquid ph meter arrived broken so I am waiting for the new one, therefore I am using the general hydroponics liquid test kit. I presume my soil ph is lower then the water I have given seeing as it went from 6ph water to around 4.5. Next feeding I will aim to feed at 7PH. With the defoliation I just made sure that the tie downs were decently tight still and moved what I thought needed to be moved. June 3rd,4th Not a ton to update on. I didn't get any pictures for these 2 days. June 5th Some obvious problems going on with the bigger plant. I am guessing it is the PH issue but I am still unsure. The one browned leaf I accidentally squished in the tie down while I was low stress training it so it got a bit damaged. Other then that the plants are growing decent. Im not sure why I didn't have more pictures for today but I mainly took problems of the problem areas. June 6th Not much going on still. They are still just hanging out not doing to much. It was a busy work week so pictures in general were a bit lazy. I will try to get more for the upcoming weeks. Big news for next week!
