What is wrong with my Apple Fritter?

[jaydog034]

My apple fritter flowers are not full, they seem stunted, and have no aroma. Anyone know why? I have three other plants, different strains, that are about 3 feet high with very nice buds that are progressing nicely. Please look at the pics and let me know your thoughts. Also, last year my apple fritter f r om same sees pack was huge, full, and potent, so im confused with this year's plant. Thank you for the help.

If it was outside I would say low light levels during the vegative stage. Around here most crops did crappy. Lot of late beans got planted after a retill on corn.
If it is outside do you by any chance track DLI?

They still look healthy, so I would say they need another month or so to fill out and mature

I'm more inclined to say its due to the strain and its maturation more so than anything. People forget for most of the USA, cannabis doesn't start flowering until the middle of August so right now, most strains have been flowering for about 4 weeks. Very few strains mature in less than 6 weeks. Most strains grown outside will finish sometime during the month of October. Early finishing strains might finish in late September and later finishing strains might finish more towards November. Everything I see in your grow suggests things are growing normally. The real question for you is ... Do you have a long enough warm fall to finish?

Not sure how your weather was this year compared to last year, but in the Chicagoland area this summer was much more unforgiving to outdoor grows. Last year, the summer was very mild. I ran the AC for the house maybe 3 weeks total. This year, the summer has been hot, then cold, then hot, then cold, now hot again, soon to be cold again in a week. This is very stressful for plants.

Thank you for all the feedback, I appreciate it. I am in Upstate New York it's been very dry mostly in the '80s all summer with very little rain. I guess I shall hope that our first frost isn't until late October to give this plant more time.

Frost should not be your first concern. Dew point will cause more headaches and heartaches long before your first frost will. Plan on doing what you can to keep your plants dry. Smaller plants in smaller planters can be moved into a garage or similar during the worst of days. Larger plants or plants in the ground don't have that benefit. Its the time of year where every outdoor grower needs a battery operated leaf blower in their toolbox.

It’s just genetics.
