About Big Apple
Big Apple is a sativa-dominant hybrid bred from Northern Lights x Skunk that combines bright orchard-like flavours with clear, uplifting effects. The plant shows vigorous growth, an open canopy and an adaptable structure that works well in pots or ground; growers should focus on humidity control and ventilation, especially in greenhouse setups.
Big Apple is a sativa-dominant hybrid that favours energetic, daytime use. The strain shows an open canopy and vigorous growth suited to training methods.
THC typically ranges from 18 to 22 per cent, offering a clear cerebral lift. That potency suits users looking for energetic focus without heavy sedation.
CBD levels are low, generally under 1 per cent, so therapeutic effects lean on THC and terpenes. Those needing significant CBD should consider pairing with a CBD-rich variety.
Big Apple originates from a cross of Northern Lights x Skunk selected for aroma and vigour. Breeders stabilised the lineage for consistent flowering times and terpene expression.
Seeds are supplied as feminised photoperiod varieties to allow growers to control vegetative duration. Some breeders may offer specialised autos, but this profile refers to the feminised photoperiod line.
Growing Big Apple demands intermediate skills, particularly in humidity management and canopy control. In humid greenhouse conditions growers should prioritise airflow and regular inspection to prevent mould.
Flowering completes in about 8 to 10 weeks under controlled light schedules. Outdoors in temperate regions the crop is usually ready by late September to October.
Yields are medium to high when plants receive good feeding and training. Indoor growers can expect roughly 350–450 g per square metre while outdoor plants can reach 100–200 g each in a favourable season.
Plants form a medium-tall, branching structure that suits LST and SCROG training. Outdoors they can stretch and reach up to around 2.5 m in the right conditions.
Big Apple adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments with straightforward pot or ground culture. In Oxford outdoor growers can produce large, resinous buds when the summer is warm and sheltered.
In Oxford Big Apple benefits from the protection of a greenhouse but needs careful attention to humidity, especially in late summer. Humid greenhouse conditions require dehumidification, strong ventilation and conservative pruning to avoid botrytis.
The high-THC profile delivers an uplifting, cerebral buzz that enhances creativity and focus. As the high evolves it settles into a gentle, calming finish.
Flavour centres on sweet apple and orchard fruit with a grounding earthy base. Hints of citrus and spice come through on the exhale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this strain, covering growth, effects, and suitability for UK conditions.
Plant after the last frost and when night temperatures stay above 8°C; expect harvest around late September to October depending on the season.
Maintain good airflow with fans, use a dehumidifier as needed, space plants for air circulation and remove dense inner foliage to lower rot risk.
It is better for growers with some experience; basic training and humidity control are necessary to get consistent results.
Switch to a bloom feed with higher phosphorus and potassium after the stretch and reduce nitrogen to encourage flower development.
Yes, topping, low-stress training and SCROG increase even canopy and optimise yields without causing excessive stress.
Flush for 7–14 days depending on your medium and nutrients used to clean up taste and smooth the smoke.
Spider mites, aphids and thrips are common; keep plants clean and monitor regularly to catch infestations early.
Yes, many patients use it for stress, mood uplift and mild pain relief; its low CBD means effects are THC-driven.
Big Apple does well outdoors in warm, sheltered sites but needs protection from heavy rain and wind to prevent mould and bud damage.
Feminised photoperiod seeds are generally stable from reputable breeders, though phenotype variation is possible and selection improves uniformity.
