Haven’t flowered the skunk tech yet but sure like the looks of it ! And that gmo is one of if not my favorite indica leaner!
nice work up there Bud - kudos

Really liking it... Very, very similar to "the Real" Sour cut... But is a different cut for sure... The "SkunkTek" has never shown any variegated leaves... Even when everything was way outta wack.

Looks like a bit more prolific plant by the looks of it; but looks can be deceiving cause every run is a bit different.

Little speil on plant amino acids. for example glutamic acid; (Umami flavor) In the body it turns into glutamate. This is a chemical that helps nerve cells in the brain send and receive information from other cells. It may be involved in learning and memory. Glutamic acid is an α-amino acid that is used by almost all living beings in the biosynthesis of proteins. It is also an excitatory neurotransmitter, in fact the most abundant one, in the vertebrate nervous system. It's also very closely related to calcium metabolism in plants as I will describe farther below.
Chelates are molecules whose shells are formed around a metal or mineral. Often the metal or mineral by itself is easily tied up or reacted with other chemicals in the environment. By forming a shell around the mineral, it can be taken up by the plant and not lost to the environment.
There are many chelating agents, both natural and synthetic, but amino acid-formed chelates offer something synthetic chelates do not. Amino acid chelates are completely used by the plants-the shell and the mineral. (exceptionally high efficiency) Because glycine is the smallest amino acid it naturally makes the smallest chelated molecules that pass readily through plant tissues. Once inside the plant, the mineral or metal (e.g. calcium, zinc, manganese, magnesium, etc.) is released, and the leftover amino acids that formed the protective shell are either used by the plant directly as amino acids or further broken down into water soluble nitrogen.
After all, amino acids are primary building blocks in cell machinery. Everything is used, nothing is lost. In fact, in wine making the vintner has to add minerals and nutrients for the yeast to love on. Yeast requires certain forms of nitrogen called YAN, or yeast assimilable nitrogen. Amino acid chelates are considered YAN.
Amino acid chelates also have a drastic effect on calcium uptake by roots, especially chelates utilizing the amino acids glutamic acid and glycine. In soil and in hydroponics, calcium tens to react with phosphates and sulfates, precipitating out of solution as lime scale. Lime scale make calcium unavailable to the plant. A massive bottle neck for us cannabis famers in flowering.... ie. soluble calcium drives flowering.
Over time lime scale can clog up pumps, drip tapes and irrigations lines-a constant concern of growers. Amino acid chelates are amino acid shells formed around the calcium ions like a claw, preventing the calcium from reacting with other minerals in the water to for lime scale. ie. working as anti-precipitates
At the same time, glutamic acid and glycine amino acids stimulate root cells to open up calcium ion channels, allowing plants to take up calcium ions thousands to millions of times faster than simple osmosis; virtually eliminating this bottleneck.
The increased availability of calcium provided by amino acid chelated calcium has secondary benefits. For instance, a plant with a strong vascular system takes up water and nutrients more efficiently, increasing the Brix* or sugar content of the plant.
Premium-quality produce has the highest Brix levels. Therefore, plants grown with amino acid chelated supplements are generally richer in sugars and other nutritional elements, allowing them to be sold at premium prices. A high Brix content is especially important for wine grapes. The higher the Brix reading in wine grapes, the higher the potential alcohol content of the wine, and the sweeter the fruits and berries.
Amino acids also play a role in protecting plants against insects and disease. Weak plants have extra water between the cell walls, providing easy access to sucking insects and fungal pathogens. Strong plants with extra pectin between the cell walls are hardened against attacks, forming a physical barrier against invaders.
Calcium is also a secondary messenger. When plants are under attack from insects and other pathogens, calcium release starts a chain reaction that produces secondary metabolites to repel the attackers. Therefor, supplementing plants with amino acid-chelated calcium can help strengthen the plants’ natural immune system, potentially reducing the need for pesticides and fungicides.
The most interesting amino acid is tryptophan. This amino acid as an important function in both plants and humans. Tryptophan is a precursor molecule to the plant growth hormone indole acetic acid (IAA).
Here is list where amino acids are grouped according to the characteristics of the side chains:

"the Real" Sour (last harvest)
"SkunkTek" Sour (current run)
About equally along in flower... Give or take a day or three.

SkunkTek looks about 10% more indica. ChunkTek.

I transplanted like maybe 36-48 hours after that photo but I think it's mostly cool temps TBH. They will perk up hopefully.
They young ones look fine. Oh my head, feels like everything is going in slow motion.

Agreed; that's along the lines of what I thought also. At least by first appearances anyhow. Something about it certainly looks stronger.SkunkTek looks about 10% more indica. ChunkTek.

Wish the pepper plants looked as good as Pedro's babies! 3 weeks and 2 days since they popped. At least the peppers i left in the dome out of laziness are thriving

nice shit bud!
so many sour strains on there! looks good.
That gmo may have an indica effect, but that shit takes 10+ weeks to flower and damn near triples it's height in early flower, at least the skunkmaster flex cut that I have. Some serious hybrid vigor in that strain.
It's kind of like how blue dream is super hybrid vigor, sativa leaning smoke, but 8 week flower time.

Is that AJ on deck for a flowering? Can't wait to see what you think of the smoke relative to all those other sours.
I'm about to start making f2s for my prospective 100+ plant AJ x GMO outdoor (greenhouse) pheno hunt, I'll probably make a few updates throughout the year on this post since it's one of the only ones I'm following and since I can tell you like that sour, gas, skunk, funk; as do I.
I also just put 26 Cluster Fuck seeds from AkBeanBrains in a wet towel for a matanuskan/Alaskan thunderfuck pheno hunt.
