Method Mac

KuaerSchlaeger Week one. Small and nice. The root has reached the drainage holes. I think just a few more days and she can move into the big pot.

KuaerSchlaeger Not much has been happening this week. The little one has rooted through the 0.15l pot and has now been transplanted into her new home where she will stay until the end.

KuaerSchlaeger So far so good. She's growing and thriving, took the repotting well. A few small burns because she got some drops on her and I didn't wipe them off 😅.

KuaerSchlaeger She's growing and thriving. The deficiency is still being tackled with Epsom salt foliar spray until my CalMag arrives. But that doesn't stop her from continuing to gain size beautifully 💪🏼

KuaerSchlaeger Today the little one was topped and a bit defoliated so that the new shoots can see some light 😅. In the coming days, I'll start with LST, and next week I think I'll switch to flowering.

KuaerSchlaeger The topping was handled great and the LST is being accepted without any issues. Flowering was initiated 2 days ago and the nutrients were slightly adjusted. Here we go 😁

KuaerSchlaeger Flowering was initiated a week ago, and the first signs of hairs are visible. In the last 5 days, it has stretched by 6cm and had a little haircut appointment 😅

KuaerSchlaeger On to week 3. The transition took a bit longer, which I attribute to the temperatures since everything took longer than usual. Now the little hairs are finally here and the flowering is starting. Other than that, everything's cool and soon she'll be lollipopped.

KuaerSchlaeger Week 4 update. The flowering is now in full swing and the buds are getting hairier. Four days ago, I gave the sweet girl a complete buzz cut and did some serious lollipopping 😅, which she handled like a champ and has visibly grown again. Her thirst has noticeably increased, so now she gets 3 liters of water every 3 days. I'm raising the temperatures now, both day and night. Occasionally, I tighten the strings a bit to keep the branches nicely spaced. Starting next week, she'll slowly get some extra light from my two UV-B tubes.

KuaerSchlaeger The Mac is really turning it up, just like you'd expect from Method Man. She's super eager and added another 10cm in the last week. She's also really pushing it with the buds. It feels like she completely ignored the lollipopping and drinks like a fish. Starting Monday, we'll begin the UV-B irradiation, starting with 20 minutes daily.

KuaerSchlaeger The week was relatively calm overall. After the last time, I forgot to hang the lights higher, which caused the MAC to be a bit too close for a short period and get a slightly white bud tip. Now everything is corrected, and that shouldn't cause any major issues; the buds are slowly getting fuller and thicker, and the resin production is increasing steadily. I've now increased the UV-B exposure to 30 minutes daily.

KuaerSchlaeger The Mac is diligently working on the buds, which are slowly getting fat, hard, and bigger, covered in a sticky layer of resin. So far, everything is fine, and the white tips haven't worsened. Estimated 3 more weeks until the end 🙏 After further increases, we've now reached a daily UV-B duration of 50 minutes.

KuaerSchlaeger Die MAC gibt weiter alles, die Buds schwellen immer weiter an und sind Steinhart. Sie riecht immer intensiver nach Zitrone und ich vermag eine leichte würzige Priese wahrzunehmen. Mit der UV-B Bestrahlung sind wir jetzt bei 65 Minuten und wird weiter langsam gesteigert. Ich schätze mal noch so 2 Wochen dann hat sie ihr Ziel erreicht.

KuaerSchlaeger The MAC is thick and plump and ready for harvest. Its thirst has decreased, and the buds are rock hard and sticky. Until harvest, it will only get pH-adjusted water and 90 minutes of UV-B exposure. After drying, there will be the final update.

KuaerSchlaeger The Mac method has succeeded. After 10 days of drying at 52% humidity and 18 degrees, the sticky buds smelling slightly of spicy lemon are ready for the 10-week fermentation in the GroveBag. Unfortunately, another journey comes to an end. Thank you all for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed it. I'm already looking forward to welcoming you to the next projects. 🌱🌱🌱
