Apricot Oreoz LST + SCROG

oleksandr_buds My Apricot seedling popped out strong and healthy this week! 🌱 She’s showing a beautiful green color and the first sets of true leaves are developing nicely. Growth is compact and steady, no stretching issues, which makes me optimistic for a strong structure later on. During this week I mainly focused on keeping stable conditions — light close but not too intense, humidity in check, and careful watering to avoid overdoing it. Nothing too crazy yet, but it feels like the foundation for a great grow is being set. Excited to see her progress next week! 🚀

oleksandr_buds This week the Apricot showed strong vegetative growth. 🍃 Several new sets of leaves appeared, the stem thickened, and the overall pace of development increased a lot. The plant kept a short and bushy structure with a healthy dark green color. Around the middle of the week, I started the first LST (low stress training). The main stem was gently bent and tied down to encourage side branches to grow stronger. This was the first step in shaping the plant for multiple future colas. The plant responded well to the bending, with no visible stress or damage. By the end of the week, side shoots were already starting to stretch toward the light, promising a wide and even canopy. 🚀

oleksandr_buds This week the Apricot entered a whole new phase of training. 🌿 I started to bend and tie down the main stem more aggressively, spreading the plant wide across the pot. Several branches were pulled in different directions to create a flat and even canopy. The response was great — side branches immediately began to stretch upwards toward the light, showing strong potential for many future colas. In addition to training, I also performed the first defoliation. A few large fan leaves were removed to allow more light and airflow to reach the lower growth. This opened up the structure of the plant and encouraged the smaller shoots to catch up. The plant stayed healthy, vigorous, and very responsive. By the end of week 3, the canopy looked much wider and bushier, with multiple strong tops forming. This was the week she truly started to transform from a single stem into a multi-headed beast. 💪🔥

oleksandr_buds This week my Apricot really exploded with growth! 🌱 I kept training the main stem and side branches to open up the canopy, and now I can see multiple strong tops forming. Some lower leaves were removed to give better airflow and light penetration. The plant looks healthy, bushy, and very responsive to LST. It feels like she’s ready to take off — soon I’ll be adding a SCROG net to spread her even more before flipping to flower. Excited to see how many fat colas she can produce! 🔥
