Growing Information
Bad Apple is moderately easy to grow and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (56-70 days) and produces medium to high yields. Indoor growers can expect 14-23 oz/m² while outdoor cultivation can yield up to 28 oz per plant. Plants typically reach 5-8 feet in height and prefer continental climates with consistent sunlight. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping, LST, and Screen of Green (ScrOG). It has good airflow naturally without requiring heavy defoliation and shows natural resistance to mold and mildew. Most phenotypes display purpling in leaves and buds with high trichome production. Harvest timing is crucial when trichomes turn cloudy white with some amber for peak THC levels.
