Grow mates:
My light cycle is 16/8.not 18/6. This was not intentional but I am interested to see how this plays out so haven't adjusted light upwards. Going into flower soon anyway.
The results of the transplant are just starting to show. The newer leaves are lighter I believe, because they were too dark earlier with the Mac's showing their preference for a leaner lower nitrogen soil and more magnesium. Dosed the garden with a high ppm of epsom salts mixed in with the tea. Never tried that before. Didn't want to add more nitrogen via Cal Mag. so opted for the Mag sulphate.
I have work to do on the canopy. Going to use bamboo and scrog the lanky phenos.
This has been a week of notable smells. Lemon sugar kush stem rub is strong and floral. not at all typical. Rebel Grown won an emerald cup with this strain and reason I spent more for this packet of beans. Needless to say, I am keeping an eye on her.
The Macs haven't hit their stride yet but growth has sped up. I am not flipping until they are in top form.
happy growing all.
Chernobyl seems to be a happy mom. Do they clone easily?? Banana was my 1st and she practically clones herself in the environment I set. My gold leaf took a few tries lol
@MomnPoppaSeed, Chernobyl is a beast. She is the hardiest plant I have had the pleasure of growing. She tolerates of imbalances in nutes, not susceptible to bugs. Grows fast and furiously. Easy to clone. I hope she produces good bud. I am curious to see. That said, all the plants I am growing this round are hardy, fast growers. Lemon sugar Kush might challenge Chernobyl for the title. At the end of the day, it'll all boil down to which plant produces the effects I am looking for.
Cheers bro.
I do love my mans big banana :)
But I also enjoy looking at yours! Hahaha
But for reals I dig your Bush. I am interested in strains I've never heard of and so I'll be checking in.
Happy grow year!!
Hi Spin, I have 3 strains here but the one listed that you are probably referring to is the MAC 1. Miracle alien cookies bred by the Capulator. A dude in LA. There is a lot of fuss around this strain right now. It has a unique new flavour. The original Mac 1 distribution was tightly controlled and only released to a few growers to hybridize and I was lucky enough to visit Wonderland Nurseries in Garberville, Humboldt when they had a few clones and was gifted a cut which has since departed because of russet mite infestation which I also brought back with me. Anyway, this particular MAC is a hybrid crossed with a banana OG. Not the MAC 1 but I hope she is still worthy. We'll see how she goes.
The Lemon Sugar Kush is the other strain. Bred by Rebel Grown. He is from Humboldt also and close friends with the Wonderland people. This strain has a distinctive Lemon Ginger/Pepper flavor. Something I love. The other strain is a Mimosa /Cherry Cookies cross of Symbiotic Genetics and Relentless Genetics The berry flavours are outstanding with this one. Hope this answers your question. Happy growing, bro.
