Apricot Jelly

Use 18/6 during vegetative growth and switch to 12/12 for flowering; strong LEDs at moderate intensity give good resin development without overheating.

Maintain steady airflow, lower humidity during late flowering and avoid overcrowding; in Suffolk consider gentle dehumidification on damp nights.

Both work well; low-stress training and selective topping produce an even canopy and increase bud sites without adding much height.

A balanced feed with slightly lower nitrogen in late flowering and moderate phosphorus supports dense, resinous flowers; avoid excess salts.

Dry slowly at 45-55% RH for 7-12 days, then cure in jars for at least two weeks for smoother flavour and improved potency.

Beginners with basic environmental control can succeed, but it rewards attention to humidity and feeding schedules.

It can finish in warmer coastal or sheltered sites, but in cool Highland conditions consider finishing indoors or using polytunnels to ensure ripeness.

It performs well: its compact stature and predictable stretch make it ideal for small tents or boxes where canopy control is important.

Aphids and spider mites can be an issue indoors and out; monitor regularly and use biological controls or gentle washes when detected.

A light flush one to two weeks before harvest can help mellow taste, but focus on trichome maturity as the primary indicator.
