Greetings,
Seem to be quite a bit of interest in this strain lately !
Apple Betty @HerbiesSeeds
This is an abridged version of my journey up to today. 134 days total, 81 days of flower
A couple of weeks over their guesstimate, he, he..
Full grow in my signature....
I germinated one seed in a shot glass with about an ounce of distilled water and a spritz of Hydrogen Peroxide.
Glass placed in a Tupperware container on my kitchen table, 48 hours later we have lift off !
Placed in a yogurt/solo cup a finger nail deep with ProMix HP and moistened with a solution of .7g/gallon of MC one part.
When the cup starts to feel "light" I water until run off, slowly around the edges. Wet/dry right from the start.
Well water, no ph down and no Cal/Mag![Wink ;) ;)](/community/styles/420style/smilies/emojione/wink.png)
Before I had my light to plant height worked out she was likely 3" high. I simply mounded the medium around her to support her.
Transplanted at day 17, sprinkled the root ball with DYNOMYCO C Mycorrhizal Fungi and placed in a prepared hole in a 5 gallon fabric bag of dampened ProMix HP.
My training plan was to keep her short and aim for a dozen or so dominate tops.
Topped at day 20 (?) above the fifth node, a day or so later removed first and second nodes.
Trained horizontal until 20" wide. By this time the top nodes lower branches needed pulling down to keep the canopy level.
Day 3l.
Day 41.
Day 3 of flower.
Day 12 of flower.
I roughly followed the MC feeding schedule on the Green Leaf Nutrient web site. When lower leaves start to show yellow I up the nutrients by .5g/gallon.
But, I tend to push a little and at day 48 (?) of flower 6.75g/gallon was a little bit much. Not a problem but I like to see my leaves green to the end !
PPM at that time was 960...
Backed off to 6g/gallon on day 51 of flower, never having seen nutrient burn with MC before I switched to 5.0g/gallon of GE MaxiBloom.
What threw me was the leaf tips were curled UP and then the necrosis progressed.
I'm used to seeing straight tip burns![Wink ;) ;)](/community/styles/420style/smilies/emojione/wink.png)
When she reached 30" high I installed a 20" diameter wire hoop on bamboo stakes and did a light lollipopping.
This evening I added a center pole and soft wire supports. A little but too much for comfort "leaning", he, he...
She is 45" tall and those top "buds" are a full 16" long![Er... what? o_O o_O](/community/styles/420style/smilies/emojione/O_o.png)
In summary, relatively easy to grow. Could reach five or six feet without training !
A "normal" feeder, I won't push the food next time !
So looking forward to a taste test![Bong Rip :bongrip: :bongrip:](/community/styles/420style/smilies/bongrip.gif)
Cheers, eh ?
