How to grow Orange Apricot Glue XL Auto® for maximum flavor and yield

This autoflower thrives with minimal stress and consistent care. Here’s how to get the most from it:

Quick overview: Autoflowering · Sweet Seeds · 8-week harvest · Low to medium difficulty · Ideal for indoor tents or sunny patios.

Safe start: Germinate in a moist, dark environment at 22–25 °C. Transplant once the taproot is ~1 cm (0.4 in) long. For faster rooting, SeedBooster Plus Germination Stimulator boosts early vigor and reduces shock.

Stable seedling: Keep humidity at 60–70% and provide gentle light. Use a well-aerated substrate like Light Mix BioBizz 50L to prevent overwatering and support root development.

Directed growth: Maintain 18–20 hours of light daily. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid topping or aggressive pruning—this auto grows fast and hates stress.

Efficient flowering: Lower humidity to 40–50% to prevent mold. Support heavy colas with soft ties. In mid-flower, apply Green Sensation by Plagron to boost bud density and resin production.

Harvest and refinement: Harvest when trichomes turn milky to light amber. Flush 7–10 days before cut. Dry at 18–22 °C and 50–60% RH, then cure for 2–4 weeks to deepen flavor.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Orange Apricot Glue XL Auto in my 1.2 x 1.2 m tent under a 600W LED. I started with a 20L pot and Light Mix BioBizz—gave the roots room to breathe. I didn’t top it, just did light LST to open up the canopy. By week 4, it was already forming dense pre-flowers. The smell? Unreal—like apricot jam with a diesel kick. I ran Green Sensation in mid-flower and saw a clear boost in weight and stickiness. Harvested at 8 weeks: 580 g/m² of frosty, aromatic buds. Smooth high—great for writing or chilling with friends. If you want fast, flavorful, and potent, this one’s a no-brainer.
