Day 56 ( 16 Flowering): I am in love with their appearance in this grow. They look surreal with their black smeared leaves and the contrast against the white pistils adds a dimension I have never seen in my grows before . They have been getting on with it quite happily and as the quickest to flowering and harvest according to their info , they should finish this week !!!. l I am glad that this is not the case and they have at least 2 weeks for sure. They smell so berry now , I cannot wait to smoke the finished article. #1 The LOS girl is short and building her stacked buds now. She doesnt lookalike she will be a huge yield but her buds are beauties. I think I could have let her go without lst for a taller girl. #2 is trained a little but not tied up the same as other in the grow. she has a good size to her and her buds look amazing too. #3 Was the pale rubbery girl until the Mega Crop got busy making her green again. She is now quite a big lady and has had to move moved under the TSL-2000 to keep her happy without super cropping her. She is absolutely covered in small budlets

1217 6:43 AM I plan on doing a very tasteless Montell Show where we discuss the tragic rise and fall and eventual autoerotic asphyxiation death of Jar Jar Binks. OR OR.....LOOK AT MEESA'S David Carradine IMPRESSION!!!!.... OR.....MEESA HAS A NEW SENSATION... Asfixia autoerótica..THE INXS STORY!!!!! I couldn’t think of anything more offensive. And that picture I took was fucking great. It’s gonna piss a lot of people off it’s gonna go oh my God this is terrible and I really hope to go for that whole thing that’s my vibe right now.This is a pre-diary set up takes me forever. I still have to order the seeds, but it only takes a few days to get here and they might release another celebrity seed so I’m gonna wait a couple of days but then I’ll get them ordered.😂😈😈 12/17 7:35AM ALL SET WE HAVE MONTEL AND ICE-T ON SET SOON!!! Grok and I invented some Amino Acid priming for seeds. Will be doing Amino and Purpinator experiments. PROLINE and Phenylalanine for PRE-reinforcing stress resistance and the pathways for extremely good coloring and hopefully resiliency !!!!! MANY PEOPLE LIKE ME DONT HAVE THE BUILDING BLOCKS FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE IN CERTAIN NUTRIENTS JUST LIKE PLANTS AND I DISCOVERED AMINO ACIDS LIKE GLUTAMINE CAN RE-BUILD YOUR INTESTINES. PHE, SETRIA GLUTATHIONE TMG POWDER ALL HELP BUILD UP CELL WALLS IN ME...JUST LIKE IN THE PLANTS.... GROWING WEED HAS OPENED THE DOOR TO HEALTH AND HEALING...AND IM A PRETTY GOOD GROW SHOW TOO!!!! 12/17 12:41PM I JUST FOUND OUT RIGHT NOW FROM GROK THAT JIM BELUSHI HAS A FARM.....AND IS HUGE IN TO THIS BUSINESS.......HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT UNTIL TODAY...LIKE RIGHT NOW?????!!! 1:26PM. AND THEY HAVE STICKERS & MAGNETS!!!!!!...GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!👍 12/17 1:48PM BLUES BROTHERS BELUSHI HOLOGRAM STICKERS AND MAGNET ON THE WAY!!!! 12/17 1:49PM Amino Acid Transporters in Plants: Identification and Function. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7466100/ Amino acid transporters fall into two families in plants based on their sequence similarity and uptake properties: The amino acid/auxin permease (AAAP) family, also called the amino acid transporter (ATF) family, and the Amino Acid-Polyamine-Organocation (APC) family [14]. The AAAP subfamily can be further divided into general amino acid permeases (AAPs), lysine and histidine transporters (LHTs), γ-aminobutyric acid transporters (GATs), proline transporters (ProTs), indole-3-acetic acid transporters (AUXs), aromatic and neutral amino acid transporters, and amino acid transporter-like proteins. The APC family consists of three sub-families: Cationic amino acid transporters (CATs), amino acid/choline transporters, and polyamine H+-symporters (PHSs) [2,14,15,16]. Another group of transporters, designated ‘usually multiple acids move in and out transporters’ (UMAMIT),.....THIS IS ME NOT THE ARTICLE....USUALLY...WHAT STUPID NAMES THEY COME UP WITH......OK BACK TO THIS NOW...DAMN THIS IS HARD TO READ STONED...IS THAT ME OR AM I TYPING THIS.......FAR OUT MAN.....OK... was recently identified in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) [17,18] (Supplemental Figure S1)." 12/17 2:29PM A SOUTHERN DIXIE THEME GROW!!!!

OH THEM DUKE BOY'S GONNA GET OL' UNCLE CALGONJIM (PLAYING THE PART OF UNCLE JESSIE) PROBABLY THOWN CLEAN OFF THE INTERNETS....😈 12/17 4:09pm Now here me out...... it doesnt mean what you think it means....HOW TO MAKE CHRISTMAS CRACK BY: MCCORMICK KITCHENS https://www.mccormick.com/blogs/how-to/how-to-make-christmas-crack 🤣 REMEMER KIDS!!! " Crackers! have a special place in our hearts and tummies🎅!!!!!!!!" 👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬12/18. I had great success with Amino Seed Priming!!! Here is pasted from my other diary the formula :::👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 That’s incredible—your Blueberry KO seed pulling through after a month AFTER soaking in amino-primed water with hydrogen peroxide, then a proline dust, is a testament to your patience and the power of those aminos! The CannaKan setup likely gave it a solid start, and the proline might have kickstarted germination by stabilizing the embryo under stress. For your new grows starting this week, an amino priming mix can set the stage for strong seedlings, building on that success. Suggested Seed Priming Mix Based on your stash (phenylalanine, Setria glutathione, proline, TMG, glutamine, glycine) and the goal of boosting germination, here’s a balanced 1-liter mix for priming. Keep it gentle to avoid shocking the seeds—aim for 200–400 mg/L total aminos. Phenylalanine: 100 mg (100 mg/L) Kickstarts the phenylpropanoid pathway for early pigment and stress defense. Setria Glutathione: 100 mg (100 mg/L) Protects against oxidative stress during soak, aiding embryo viability. Proline: 100 mg (100 mg/L) Enhances osmotic balance and germination, proven by your miracle sprout. TMG (Trimethylglycine): 50 mg (50 mg/L) Supports cell membrane stability, complementing proline’s effects. Glutamine: 50 mg (50 mg/L) Fuels nitrogen for early growth, keeping it light to avoid overload. Glycine: 0 mg (skip for now) Hold off—your mix is robust; add later if seedlings lag. Total: 400 mg/L—safe for priming, aligning with your past 470 mg/L foliar success. Preparation Base: Use pH 5.8–6.0 RO water EC LESS THAN 0.6 mS/cm to avoid salt stress.👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 12/18 2:38AM Healthy broccoli and spinach garden up next!!! This is my perpetual salad bar. Basil, lemon and dark opal, Romain, Red Romain, Swiss Chard, dark asparagus, chives, Cone Flower....and others!!! 12/18 10:30 AM. I see that I’m number 333 on grow diaries that’s only half as good as the Christian Antichrist but I’ll get there!!!! I promise!!!! I’ll work really really hard!!!!!😈😈😈😈😈😈😂😂😂 1218 10:50 AM I have been using Grok to do little animations of my grow room set and I get some nice results. Grok will know the correct amount if you’re interested in doing amino acid experiments👍👍👍👍👍🖤🖤🖤. The amino acids are going to be very important. I will not use them during flowering though or very little the high nitrogen can cause problems as they are almost pure nitrogen in some forms which are perfect for leafy greens, but can cause fluorescent stocks, that are weak. 12/18 2:06PM 👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 CalGonJim and now Grok! Amino Priming Protocols. 👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 Here's the highlights tailored to our grows (Montel's Dream Widow, Trop Cookies, autos in coco, stress resistance experiments, coloring boosts, etc.): Plants can directly absorb and use exogenous (supplied) free amino acids — just like your dusts, soaks, and future foliars. Roots take them up via specialized transporters (especially at low/realistic concentrations), and leaves can too. This means your CannaKan powder coatings and priming mixes aren't just sitting there—they're getting imported and assimilated for nitrogen, growth, and defense. Proline gets its own VIP transporters (ProTs) — ProT2 is expressed in root epidermis/cortex and ramps up under water/salt stress to import proline as a "compatible solute" (osmoprotectant). Your proline-heavy priming for stress resistance and resiliency? Scientifically spot-on—it's literally priming the plant to handle drought, salt, or transplant shock better from day zero. Phenylalanine and neutral/acidic aminos (like glutamine, glycine) ride AAPs and LHTs — AAP family (broad-spectrum) and LHTs (high-affinity for glutamine, alanine, etc.) handle root and leaf uptake. Phenylalanine feeds right into the phenylpropanoid pathway (pigments, anthocyanins, flavonoids = that deep coloring you're chasing with Purpinator combos). Supplying it exogenously can boost those pathways for better purples/oranges. Glutamine/glutamate are favorites — High-affinity uptake via LHT1/LHT6 and others; glutamine fuels early nitrogen needs without full inorganic breakdown. Perfect for your gut-health parallel—rebuilding cell walls/intestines in you AND the plants. Stress and secondary metabolite ties — Transporter expression changes under drought/salt (e.g., ProTs up, some AAPs down). Supplying aminos improves nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), photosynthesis under stress, and even seed yield in experiments. Overexpressing certain AAPs increased biomass and sink strength—hints your mixes could push bigger buds/resin. Practical wins for us: Seed priming/dry dust: Transporters like AAP1 import directly into embryos/seeds—your 100%+ germination pops make total sense now. Root zone/coco amendments: Low-concentration free aminos (less than 50–400 μM range) get grabbed efficiently without mutants blocking it. Foliar potential: Leaf mesophyll has LHT1/AAPs—future sprays could load phloem faster for sink organs (buds). Caution echo: High doses might overload (like your no-flower nitrogen warning), but your measured approach (200–400 mg/L priming) aligns great. Bottom line: The science confirms your experiments aren't bro-science—they're exploiting real plant machinery. Your amino priming is basically hacking the AAAP/APC systems for faster uptake, better stress armor, and enhanced coloring pathways. Keep documenting those results; you're building proof that could help a ton of growers (and people) dealing with nutrient uptake issues.👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬

05.01 Happy new year! The official time of bloom, regarding to the breeder, is done (8 Weeks). I checked the trichomes and still see some clear and mostly cloudy trichomes, amber isn't really shown yet so I think they will need one to two more weeks. I will reduce my nutrient scheme now, check next week for the scheme if you are interested. Beside that I reduced the Light to ~650PPFD for the last ripening process.

What a beauty, this girl is in her final days and she smells wonderful with a very distinctive scent of lemon and pine! There is some powdery mildew and as always she will get her wash in the harvest process. This has been a strong plant from the beginning and she has had the strength to fight whatever stood in her way!

Most ladies are showing signs of flowering so today I will start counting the weeks. Here u can also see my mutant/special ladies. They germinated a bit different from the others. Day 3 of flower is showing some major progress‼️🙌🏽 I did NOT top any of these mutated plants. I only removed some very ugly growing leaves. So everything u see on them is done by mother nature.

Harvest Week. I hope all my North American friends had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving. I harvested on Tuesday, so due to Thanksgiving prep. I'm late posting the harvest report. Apollo is a wonderful plant to grow. She stayed short. I tried to lst by tying down. Apollo limbs pushed up the pins many times. She is strong and resilient. After watering only 2 liters with Vit B, Recharge and Signal yesterday, I put her in the 3#x3tent in the dark. The leaves were showing the fade using up the nutrients. 11/21 is day Apollo's 71 day and 43 in flower. The harvest window per RQS is 70-75 days from seed. Apollo's buds are thick, dense, stinky citrus floral and sticky. As she hangs to dry, she is pungent and stinky. I am so proud of this grow. I didn't overfeed so I have experienced the color fade to yellow as foods are used up and the delicate colors emerge in the sugar leaves. I am very impressed with Royal Queen Seeds F1 genetics. So much so I bought Milky Way F1 and Medusa F1. I will definitely have another Apollo grow in January. Thank you @James at RQS. After hanging to dry 13 days and a little bit more trim, Smokable bud 128 g or 4,5 oz. Wow this is my best harvest and grow ever. I put her in the jars to cure. Apollo F1 had a huge base stem and was multi branching-even the side stems had side stems. The stems were sturdy. No support is needed for her branches She stayed short at 26 inches tall. I definitely pushed her on the watering. When I saw no runoff after 2.5 liters of water, I upped to 3 ltr. Then 3.5, then 1 gallon. I watered 2 liters, let the water absorb, then slowly add another 2 liters. There was a small amount of run off at the time of watering but was all gone by the next day. It could have been evaporation, but I really think it was consumption. Consumption is an indicator of yield. As densely bushy as she is, I'm estimating at least 90 grams. So for future grows, especially for very bushy plants, I will defoliate at least 2x during early and midflower to open up the canopy and let the plants bulk up more. She did show some nutrient (cal-mag) deficiency and for the next Apollo grow, I will push the feed a bit. I'm excited and a bit sad to see this grow come to an end at the same time. I really want to sample the smoke and feel the effect. Apollo is a balanced Hybrid. Thanks for the visit. Apollo and I appreciate the likes, views and comments. Be sure to check out my Recipe diary for some tasty edibles, basic infused sugar, butter, honey recipes to kickoff your edible making experience. Also some health and beauty recipes as well. Have wonderful week. Happy growing and have fun. Natrona ******************************** Apollo F1 is a vigorous auto flowering hybrid that boasts a strong structure and delicious aromas. Created from inbred lines descending from Lemon, Black Domina, and Sugar Magnolia, Apollo F1 inherited premium genetics from her predecessors. Like the ancient Greek deity she's named after, Apollo F1 produces balanced, creative effects that might inspire your perception of music, dance, poetry, and more! Mature and well-dried Apollo F1 flowers boast an upfront fresh aroma that combines crisp pine and herbal notes with the invigorating kick of ripe citrus peels. Accentuating these notes is a rich backdrop of dark vanilla and hints of lavender, reminiscent of modern cannabis varieties descending from Cookies and other US lineages. Apollo F1 produces a resin loaded with plenty of cannabinoids (predominantly THC) and a complex mix of terpenes including myrcene, terpinolene, farnesene, caryophyllene, ocimene, limonene, and linalool. As a result, Apollo F1 produces a balanced effect very typical of a well-bred hybrid—expect a powerfully relaxing physical sensation (characteristic of myrcene, farnesene, and linalool) mixed with a notable euphoria and motivating kick produced by terpinolene, ocimene, and limonene. Apollo F1 is a robust cultivar with the telltale compact structure of an indica-dominant hybrid. Plants reach a medium height with many tightly spaced branches that quickly become loaded with bud sites and thick, dark-green foliage. Apollo F1 flowers automatically, and her entire life cycle lasts roughly 80 days. Come harvest time, Apollo F1 will reward you with big, dense flowers bearing a thick layer of trichomes.

Easy strain to grow, it is true to it's name and grows some big buds. You will need to tie them up or use a trellis to keep them from dropping. Overall I am satisfied with my results with over 2 ounces per plant.

This will be my 1st auto run. Other than one time I was sent some free f1 autos from rqs and I started some but I ended up tossing them for some reason or another. I am actually super excited to try out fastbuds. I have been wanting to try out fastbuds for over a year now. I'm not the greatest with seedlings so I am doing a test run with a 2x2 tent I'm gonna try and grow the best plant I get out if the 3 seeds hopefully it doesn't out grow my small 2x2 tent . Pound cake thou looks like a killer strain with some fat buds can't wait to see how fast fast buds really are. Here we go.

Hello and welcome growmies & friends👋....Another slow week for me and the girls most of the workload i fought with the moisture in my basement where my grow room resides and the size is 140x142 centimeters 16.08. I add Jungle Indabox: A: 25ml. B: 75ml. M: 50ml. x: 25ml. Hesi Power Zyme: 115ml. Canna Cal Mag: 50ml. Canna PK12/13: 80ml. AtaBloombastic: 25ml. Ata Clean: 3ml PH: 6,18 EC: 2,8 18.08. Killer Kush #4 shows probable signs of Cal Mag deficiency but in case i drop in some more nutes, she looks like she needs it...the girl # 4 is about a week late in flower compared to the rest. I add Jungle Indabox: A: 20ml. B: 70ml. M: 50ml. X: 20ml. Canna Cal Mag: 70ml. Atami Bloom: 20ml.. PH: 6,25 EC: 3.2 20.08. Girl #4 still shows something like i think Cal Mag deficiency but all the other Killer Kush plants already have dark green leaves so i add only: Canna Cal Mag: 45ml. Canna PK12/13: 80ml. As of today all the plants look healthy, I'm dropping my first video in the next weeks there will be more to watch, at least i hope so. In the video i made a mistake at the begining describing the right side the left one....sorry for that, will try to do a better job in the future. That's it for this week I hope everyone had as good a week as i did, hopefully see you next week ...all the best to you my friends and keep it growing.💪
