Rezdog's Apollo's Thunder - By Nate

Out of this pack of seeds I had 100% germination. The plants were all very hardy and all had very uniform leaves. The stems though is where you could tell the difference. Some of the phenos were very stretchy, and therefore I concluded were more sativa. Most were of average height. One pheno however exhibited sativa looking leaves and a tight, indica like nodal spacing. As the plants matured several of the sativa phenotypes showed to be the quickest growers advancing in nodes way faster than the average height plants. The only plant that kept up was the tight, short plant. Due to disaster and the dark age that followed the sativa phenos were slowly flowered one at a time at my friends house, while I held onto a clone of the tight pheno. The sativas were all grown and cured and were of high quality, but nothing worth keeping. Finally in the fall of 2004 I had my chance to flower the tight clone and it has been the best. This report is based off this clone.

I will get some threads goings soon

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

1. __[9]__ Visual Appeal

Rate the visible trichome content from 1-10 none-totally covered.

3. Use an X to indicate the colors that are present in the trichome
heads under magnification or list the percentages of each color for
a more precise report. Leave these fields blank if you do not have
a powerful magnifier.

Nice report dude thanks for taking the time to share.

Hi Nate thanks for the report. Sounds like you liked the smoke but want more kick. I assume this cross has too much indica in it. Sounds like you know the right direction to head in.
