Apricot O.

Apricot O. Cannabis Seeds by Anesia Seeds

Apricot O. is a 50/50 indica/sativa hybrid from Anesia Seeds that pairs face-melting potency with a flavour profile sweet enough to make your mouth water. Born from crossing Apricot Jelly with O., this photoperiod strain clocks in at a staggering 36% THC — the kind of number that makes even seasoned growers do a double take. She finishes flowering in just 9 weeks, throws out yields up to 500g/m² indoors and a jaw-dropping 800–1000g per plant outdoors, and fills the room with the scent of ripe apricots layered over dark chocolate. If you want a strain that looks stunning, grows generously, and hits like a freight train, Apricot O. belongs in your garden.

Growing Apricot O. Seeds: What to Expect

Apricot O. is one of those strains that rewards you without demanding a PhD in horticulture. She's a photoperiod plant, so you will need to flip your light schedule to 12/12 to trigger flowering — but beyond that, she's genuinely cooperative. Indoors, expect her to stay between 130cm and 160cm, which is manageable in most tents without aggressive training. A bit of LST or topping early in veg will help open up the canopy and let light reach those lower bud sites, but she doesn't require it to perform well.

Outdoors is where Apricot O. really stretches her legs. Given space and decent sunlight, she can push up to 250cm and produce between 800g and 1000g per plant. Those are not typos. She's a big eater during flower, so keep your nutrient schedule dialled in — particularly phosphorus and potassium in the last few weeks. The 9-week flowering window is quick for a plant that yields this heavily, so you're not waiting around for months wondering if it's all going to pay off.

One honest note: at 36% THC, the resin production on Apricot O. is intense. Your scissors will gum up during trimming, your tent will reek (carbon filter is not optional here), and the buds get dense and sticky enough that good airflow matters. Keep humidity below 50% in late flower to avoid any mould issues in those chunky colas. A small oscillating fan pointed at the canopy goes a long way.

Flavour, Aroma, and the Apricot O. Experience

Open a jar of dried Apricot O. and the first thing that hits you is ripe stone fruit — sweet, almost jammy apricot that fills the room before you've even ground a bud. Break it apart and there's a darker, richer chocolate undertone sitting underneath, like someone dipped dried apricots in cocoa. The smoke carries those same notes through, with the sweetness landing on the inhale and the chocolate settling on the exhale. It's genuinely one of the tastiest strains we've come across from Anesia Seeds.

The buds themselves are colourful and resin-caked. Expect dense, chunky flowers with hues that lean towards warm oranges and purples as she matures — the kind of bag appeal that makes people ask what you're growing. At 36% THC, the effect is immediate and powerful. The balanced 50/50 genetics mean you get an initial cerebral rush that transitions into deep physical relaxation. Go easy on the first session. A single small bowl is enough to gauge where you stand with this one. We've seen plenty of overconfident growers learn that lesson the hard way.

Why Apricot O. Deserves a Spot in Your Grow Room

We've carried a lot of Anesia Seeds genetics over the years, and Apricot O. stands out for one simple reason: the ratio of effort to reward is absurd. You put in 9 weeks of flowering, do some basic maintenance, and walk away with half a kilo per square metre indoors — or potentially a full kilogram per plant outside. The THC content sits at 36%, which puts it in the upper tier of anything currently available from any seed bank. And unlike some ultra-potent strains that sacrifice flavour for numbers, Apricot O. tastes as good as it hits.

Compared to something like Anesia Seeds' Bruce Banner Auto, Apricot O. gives you more control over the vegetative phase since she's photoperiod, which means you can train her, extend veg for bigger plants, or flip early for a quick turnaround in a sea-of-green setup. The trade-off is that you need to manage your light schedule manually, but that's standard practice for anyone with a timer on their ballast. If you want the autoflowering convenience, look at auto strains in the Anesia catalogue — but if you want maximum yield and potency with a bit more hands-on involvement, Apricot O. is the one we'd pick.

The only real limitation? She's not subtle. The smell during flower is loud, the effects are intense, and the yields mean you'll need space to dry and cure properly. Plan for that before you pop the seeds.

How to Grow Apricot O. Cannabis Seeds

1. Germinate your Apricot O. seeds using the paper towel method or by placing them directly into a moist seedling plug. Keep temperatures around 22–25°C and expect taproots within 24–72 hours.
2. Transplant seedlings into their final containers once the first set of true leaves appears. A 15–20 litre pot works well for indoor grows; outdoor plants benefit from 30 litres or more, or direct planting into prepared soil.
3. Maintain an 18/6 light schedule during the vegetative phase. Apricot O. responds well to topping or low-stress training during this stage to create an even canopy and maximise light penetration.
4. Switch to a 12/12 light schedule to initiate flowering. She'll begin showing pistils within the first week or two. Increase phosphorus and potassium in your feed as buds develop.
5. Monitor humidity closely from week 5 onwards — keep it below 50% to protect those dense buds from mould. Good airflow through the canopy is critical at this stage.
6. Harvest after approximately 9 weeks of flowering, when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber. Dry in a dark, well-ventilated space at 18–21°C for 7–10 days, then cure in glass jars for at least 2 weeks for the best flavour.
