MAC1 starting from week 13 veg

Growfather1 Hello everyone, I made a view changes in the mac1 f1 hybrid grow and put one plant in a 120x120cm tent and will go into flower next Wednesday her 14th week since sprouting. I decided to create a new diary for this plant she sits under the spider farmer G5000 480w, i hope to fill 90% of the tent before switching to 12/12. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather

Growfather1 Hello everyone, The mac1 is still in vegetative stage and will commence flowering this week. To mitigate nutrient deficiencies, I will provide her with a daily feed of 20% runoff. The humidity is between 55 and 65 percent and the temperature ranges from 23 to 27 degrees Celsius. I have removed numerous nodes to prevent early side growth from the 50+ branches. I appreciate your visit and wish you a pleasant day. Best regards, Growfather

Growfather1 Hello everyone! Today marks the end of a 15-week veg marathon for my MAC1 F1 Hybrid. She’s officially in day 1 of flower! Gave her a solid 10L of water today, resulting in about 4L of runoff. Humidity sitting at 58% and I’m expecting temperatures to rise to 26°C. I heavily defoliated the center, removing mostly leaves, nodes, and internodes. My lights are already hanging relatively low, and I only have about 30cm before I hit the carbon filter, so I can’t adjust the height much. I’ll need to keep a close eye on things as she starts to stretch in the next 3 weeks. Let’s see how she stands next week! Best regards, Growfather.

Growfather1 Hello everyone, this is an update on my Mac 1 F1 hybrid. We’re just at the start of week two. I’ve adjusted the light to its maximum height and it’s almost touching the carbon filter. Humidity is around 60% at night and 55% when the lights are on. The plant is stretching right now, and I’m hoping the stretch won’t go too far. I’ve also removed some fan leaves to let light reach the lower branches. Thanks for stopping by and have a good one. Best regards, Growfather.

Growfather1 Hello everyone. ​Thanks for stopping by to check on the progress in the tent. ​I've added two infrared light bars to encourage more stretch on the right side of the canopy, balancing out the height differences compared to the left side of the tent. ​She's 17 weeks old and in day 21 of flowering, marking the start of her third week. ​I'm training the branches across the trellis to fill in every square and maximize the canopy. ​Have yourself a nice day. ​Best regards, Growfather

Growfather1 Hello everyone. My MAC 1 F1 Hybrid is officially at day 28 of flower, and she’s getting so huge it feels like I’m growing Godzilla right here! The buds are forming nicely, and I’ve raised the PK 13 14 to 7 milliliters on 10 liters of water. ​The humidity is sitting between 55 percent during the day and 62 percent at night, and I’ll be adding a dehumidifier within one week. Temperature-wise, we're seeing a minimum of 19 degrees at night and a maximum of 27 during the day, though it mostly maxes out at 25. The green foliage and the canopy are looking outstanding. ​Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day! Best regards, Growfather.

Growfather1 Hello everyone. Today marks day 35 of flowering for my MAC 1 F1 Hybrid, and she is an absolute beast. I have got over 88 bud sites stacking up higher than the hottest beat in the club. She is developing her buds incredibly fast, and next week she is going to look like a completely different plant. She is drinking up the maximum dosage of PK 13/14 at 1.5 ml per liter of water, which started yesterday. The dehumidifier is working overtime to keep the humidity pegged at 52 percent, though it is pushing the temperature up to high heat at 28.2 degrees Celsius. Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather.

Growfather1 Hello everyone. Starting week six of flowering for my MAC 1 F1 hybrid. She is looking absolutely majestic. She filled up the 120 by 120 centimeter tent completely, like she signed a lease and decided she owns the place. She is drinking a lot. Twelve liters a day gives me about two liters of runoff. She really needs a defoliation, and the plan was to do that last weekend, but at the big moment I thought, nope, I’m not going to disturb her in this crucial phase of bud development. So I postponed it to next weekend. She’s basically saying, “Give me a haircut, but make it respectful.” For the rest, everything is looking fantastic. I will start flushing her out next week, but for now I’m still giving her 1.5 milliliters per liter of PK 13/14 together with basic nutrients from Canna. Thank you for stopping by and have yourself a nice day. Best regards, Growfather.

Growfather1 Hello everyone! Welcome back to the tent. Here is the streamlined update for our star performer. 🌿 Grow Diary: Week 7 Flower (Day 50 / 66) Strain: MAC 1 F1 Hybrid (Barney's Farm) Status: Day 50 of a 66-day cycle—16 days left to go! 🌡️ Climate & Environment The grow room environment is perfectly dialed in for late flower. Daytime temperatures reach a comfortable maximum of 27°C, while lights-off minimums drop to 21°C, maintaining an ideal 6-degree day/night differential. To protect the dense, ripening canopy from bud rot, the dehumidifier is running 24/7 to keep the relative humidity consistently low and dry. 📝 Weekly Progress & Strategy • Pistil Check: Upper canopy pistils are almost entirely orange due to previous high light intensity, which has now been dialed back to 80%. The lower canopy is still actively pushing white pistils, confirming she has at least two weeks left to fully ripen. • Canopy & Feeding: Following a recent defoliation, a final leaf cleanup is scheduled for this coming Sunday. Immediately after, the final nutrient flush will begin to guide her smoothly into harvest. • Garden Standings: This girl is easily the most beautiful flowering plant in the garden right now, outshining even the structurally impressive Gorilla Glue x White Widow. 🤡 Growroom Joke of the Week Why did the MAC 1 plant break up with the grow light? Because it felt like things were getting way too intense, and it just needed some space to chill at 80%! Thank you everyone for stopping by, and have a nice day! Best regards, Growfather

Growfather1 Hello everyone. Welcome to week 22 since she sprouted from seed, and week 8 of flowering. Since Sunday, four days ago, she was flushed hard with 30 liters of tap water and then 40 liters of reverse osmosis water, bringing the PPM down to under 300. Over the next days, I kept watering with at least 12 liters per day of reverse osmosis water. I’m expecting that by today’s or tomorrow’s feeding, the salts in the pot will drop under 100 PPM. I noticed a few leaves starting to purple since the flush, which is a good sign. I’m expecting more purpling and yellowing in the coming days, and by next week I should have a beautiful fall canopy with purple and yellow leaves. That’s always a lovely picture. Humidity is in check, always under 50. Temperatures sit at 25 degrees Celsius in the middle of the canopy and about 23 degrees in the corners. She’s not getting any nutrients anymore, only reverse osmosis water. I’d say there’s a good chance of another update next week, but time will tell. Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather.

Growfather1 Hello everyone, Welcome back for the final flowering update of my MAC1 F1 Hybrid by Barney's Farm. She officially entered week 9 on Wednesday, so this update is a couple of days late, but I wanted to wait until I was sure she was right where I wanted her to be. After checking the trichomes, I'm seeing exactly what I've been waiting for: almost everything is milky, plenty have turned amber, and some have even started breaking down. She's telling me loud and clear that it's time. I started flushing 12 days ago, and since then the runoff has consistently stayed below 100 PPM, so I'm expecting a very clean smoke once she's finished drying and curing. Visually, she has become an absolute masterpiece. The leaves have faded into beautiful shades of purple and yellow, giving her those classic end-of-flower autumn colors. Out of every plant currently in my garden, this is without question the most beautiful one. The colors, the structure, the frost, the bud density... she has it all. Training her was an absolute pleasure. Unlike her big sister in the larger tent, who apparently chose chaos as a lifestyle, this plant was manageable from the start. Every bit of high-stress training I threw at her was met with a simple response: Is that all you've got? She never complained, never slowed down, never showed signs of stress. She just kept pushing forward like a true champion. The trellis net has 81 squares, and pretty much all of them are filled. Some tops even decided one square wasn't enough and triple-booked themselves. Based on that alone, I'm expecting at least 81 flowering branches. One of the things I'm most proud of is the right side of the canopy. Early in flower it looked like it was going to be an empty corner, so I added two infrared bars to help that side develop. Fast forward to today and it's filled in beautifully, helping create a full and even canopy from edge to edge. And let's talk about these branches. They're thick, strong, and holding themselves up proudly to the finish line. No flopping over, no drama, no desperate requests for support. Unlike some plants that spend late flower impersonating wet spaghetti, this lady built herself like a bodybuilder. Then there's the frost. The buds are absolutely buried in trichomes. Not covered. Buried. She looks like somebody dipped every cola into a bucket of crushed diamonds and then rolled them through fresh snow for good measure. Every bud glistens under the light. No matter where you look, there's another layer of frost underneath the frost underneath the frost. Environmental conditions have been rock solid throughout late flower, with temperatures staying below 25°C and humidity sitting around 45-47%. Those conditions helped her finish exactly the way I hoped she would. Tonight she'll be harvested. From there she'll spend roughly 14 days drying at 60% humidity before moving into jars or Terploc bags for another couple of weeks of curing. And then... the moment of truth. I'll be back with a harvest report, final numbers, and hopefully a smoke report. If all goes according to plan, we'll celebrate properly with the first joint together. I just want to finish by saying thank you to everyone who followed along during this grow. I really appreciate all the likes, comments, advice, and conversations throughout this journey. This may be the end of this MAC 1 F1 Hybrid diary, but it's definitely not the end of the story. A fresh batch of MAC 1 F1 seeds is already waiting in the wings with a new batch number, which means we're about to start the whole adventure again. Hopefully I'll find another plant like this one: easy to train, ridiculously frosty, built like a bodybuilder, and about as stress-resistant as a tax bill. But knowing my luck, I'll probably end up with another oversized sister who ignores all instructions and turns the grow tent into a jungle. Either way, there will be a new saga, new lessons, new experiments, and undoubtedly new opportunities for me to question my life choices while staring at trichomes with a jeweler's loupe at 2 a.m Thank you for stopping by, have yourselves a great weekend, and remember: if this harvest goes badly, we'll blame the scales. If it goes well, we'll blame the genetics. See you all at harvest. 🌿🔥💎
