How do you grow Apricots N Grease?
Apricots N Grease is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. The plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors when given proper space. Yield is generally good, with indoor growers reporting 1.5-2 ounces per square foot under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 16-24 ounces each.
This strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Indoor cultivation benefits from techniques like low-stress training (LST) or screen of green (SCROG) to maximize light penetration and bud development. The plants have moderate nutrient requirements and are somewhat sensitive to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering stage. Growers should maintain good airflow and humidity control, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold in overly humid conditions. The strain's resin production is particularly notable, with trichomes developing heavily in the final weeks of flowering.
