Appletizer Grow-Along - Winners
🍏 Appletizer Grow-Along Recap 🍏
We watched a bushel of beauties blossom during the Appletizer Grow-Along, and now it’s time to crown the champions. From towering colas to dank meme-worthy nug shots, these growers brought the heat, the frost, and the funk. I know this one is really late, feel free to roast me in the comments. Here are your official winners:
🏆 Best Overall Appletizer — #autoflowerevolution
AFE didn’t just show up — he showed out. Running five apple-themed strains in a single 5x5 tent, he turned his space into an orchard of fire. His Appletizer phenom topped out at 45 inches tall and yielded an impressive 240 grams of shimmering, apple-scented nuggetry. But what sealed the win? Pristine photos of the full plant and trimmed buds that left jaws on the floor. A true Mephisto masterpiece worthy of top honors.
📝 Best Grow Report (Appletizer) — No Awarded Report
We didn’t spot a complete grow-and-smoke report strictly for the Appletizer strain, so this category is being folded into the Limited Edition awards. Let’s double up where the action was hottest.
🧬 Best Overall Appletizer Limited Edition — u/terp_n_derp (Aperol Spritz)
This one was tight. The Limited Edition strains really stole the spotlight in this grow-along, with dozens of killer submissions — especially on Discord. But the crown goes to u/terp_n_derp for his stellar Aperol Spritz grow.
Terp delivered a perfectly even canopy, tight, stocky buds, consistent updates, and a nug photo that instantly became a piece of Mephisto meme-lore.
Is that one nug or ten? Who cares. It’s dank.
Another notch on the belt for Terp. Let’s just hope his neighbor doesn’t intercept the prize again. 👀
📘 Best Grow Report (Appletizer Limited Edition) — STL ENT (Trebletizer)
u/STL_ENT — or as we call him, Mr. Grow-and-Trim — raised the bar once again. His Trebletizer grow was not only a monster (484 grams dried in a 5-gallon coco setup), but he also wrote a detailed, educational journal that any new grower could learn from.
Harvested at Day 96, trained with LST and leaf tucking, and fed with Jack’s Nutrients, this plant was a 1-pound club beast. His flavor report?
“Sour apple grape kicked around the forest floor and rinsed off.”
He waxes poetic on the Samsquanch funk, describing it as the “patchouli of Mephisto strains” — earthy on the inhale, followed by waves of apple-grape goodness and a sour finish. The calming effects round out an award-worthy report.
🌿 Respect. Upvote this man.
🌳 Best Grow Report (Appletizer Limited Edition) — Ancient_Kangaroo_492 aka #DK aka DKHAZE (Old School Orchard)
You know him. You love him. Or he’s told you why you should love haze. Mr. DK, leader of the Old School Mango Haze Appreciation Society, finally secures a well-deserved grow-along win with Old School Orchard.
Here’s the grow rundown:
- 🕰️ 98 days from sprout to harvest
- 🏕️ 4x4 tent, 💡 Vivosun VSFD 6500 650W LED
- 🌱 12-gallon DWC in hydroton + rockwool
- 🍼 Fed with Emerald Harvest Grow/Micro/Bloom, King Kola, and Cal-Mag
- 🍃 Light defoliation, minimal training
This towering, foxy beauty hit the 1-pound mark and was chronicled consistently across Reddit and Discord. DK brought his A-game and finally took home gold. Well earned, Meph head!
