Sour Apple Auto

Sour Apple Auto – Humboldt

Introducing the Sour Apple Autoflower Cannabis Strain – a true masterpiece that harmoniously blends the best of classic fuel terpenes and high THC phenotypes with the unparalleled vigor and fruity terps of the Magic Melon Auto. The Sour Apple Autoflower Cannabis Strain is a remarkable result of meticulous crossbreeding, harmoniously blending the best traits of its parent strains. The strain originated from a 2019 project that isolated high THC phenotypes, selectively bred with seeds from plants boasting over 20% THC. The parent strains, Magic Melon Auto and Humboldt Sour Diesel, contribute to its unique characteristics. Magic Melon Auto imparts vigorous growth and fruity terpenes, while Humboldt Sour Diesel adds the classic fuel terpenes and high THC content. The result is a strain that stands proudly among the elites.

Effects and Flavor

Sour Apple Autoflower offers an amazing sensory experience with its unique mix of effects and flavors. The strain has a high THC content, ranging from 20% to 24%, which means it can provide a strong, euphoric feeling and deep relaxation. Being sativa-dominant, it gives an uplifting and almost dreamy effect, making it great for those who want to feel energized yet relaxed.

The flavor of Sour Apple Autoflower is a delightful blend of sweet apple and gasoline-like undertones. This combination creates a wonderful aroma and taste that enhances the overall experience. Each bud might have slight differences in flavor and aroma, making every use a bit unique, but always enjoyable and satisfying.

How to grow Sour Apple Auto

Growing Sour Apple Autoflower is easy and rewarding, especially for those who want a hassle-free experience. These seeds are Auto Feminized, which means they are tough and grow quickly. The whole process, from seed to harvest, takes just 75-85 days. To get the best results, keep the light schedule consistent, give the plants enough nutrients, and ensure good airflow. Also, watch the humidity to prevent mold and mildew.

Here’s a detailed guide on how to cultivate this strain successfully:

Seedling Stage

1. Germination: Start by germinating the Auto Feminized seeds. You can use the paper towel method or plant them directly in soil. Ensure the seeds are kept in a warm, dark place until they sprout.
2. Initial Planting: Once sprouted, plant the seeds in their final pot to avoid transplant shock. Autoflowers have a short lifecycle, so minimizing stress is crucial.

Vegetative Stage

• Lighting: Provide 18-20 hours of light daily using LED or CFL grow lights. Autoflowers thrive under a consistent light schedule.
• Soil and Nutrients: Use high-quality soil with good drainage. During the vegetative stage, feed the plants with a balanced nutrient mix, rich in nitrogen, to support strong growth.
• Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water the plants when the top inch of soil feels dry.

Flowering Stage

• Lighting Adjustment: Continue providing 18-20 hours of light daily. Autoflowers do not require a change in the light cycle to start flowering.
• Nutrient Shift: Transition to a nutrient mix higher in phosphorus and potassium to support bud development. Reduce nitrogen levels.
• Airflow and Humidity: Ensure proper ventilation to maintain airflow and prevent mold. Keep humidity levels around 40-50% to avoid mildew.

Harvesting

• Trichome Check: Use a magnifying glass to check the trichomes (tiny crystals on the buds). Harvest when they are mostly milky white with some amber, indicating peak potency.
• Flushing: Two weeks before harvest, flush the plants with plain water to remove any remaining nutrients, ensuring a cleaner and smoother smoke.
• Drying and Curing: After harvesting, dry the buds in a dark, well-ventilated space for about a week. Then, cure them in airtight jars for at least two weeks, opening the jars daily to release moisture.

General Care Tips

• Consistent Light Schedule: Autoflowers thrive under consistent light. Avoid interruptions in the light cycle to prevent stress.
• Proper Ventilation: Use fans to circulate air and strengthen the plants’ stems. Good airflow also helps prevent mold and pests.
• Humidity Control: Monitor and control humidity levels, especially during the flowering stage, to prevent mold and mildew.
• Training Techniques: Low Stress Training (LST) can be used to gently bend and tie down branches, promoting better light distribution and more bud sites without stressing the plant.
