The Miracle

The second week went very well. The development of the plants seems to be very vigorous in fact in such a short time they are already starting to form very fleshy leaves. The two plants developed very differently. One has remained normal and will be the one to grow like this, while the other, since it already had a malformation at the first stage making three leaves, is the one to which I removed the main top. I hope it is not too early and that it will meet my expectations that I foresee. I also added some soil to the pots this week, filling them up to seed level and making the seeds anchor to the soil better. In terms of nutrients and appearance of the plants there seem to be no problems, in fact the color of the leaves is very bright and shiny. I haven't started using the RQS nutrient tablets yet but I think I will in the next few weeks. For these plants I don't think I'm doing a very long vegetative growth period. I'm already doing the diary update as the first few weeks I did them together but as of now I'll be continuing regularly from week to week.

Week 3 also ends with some delays in updating the diary due to some problems I've had these days. The two plants are progressing really well. They are developing very fast and they amaze me with each passing day. The one I'm leaving with the apical is now well developed, the leaves are fleshy and with a very intense color and the side branches are pushing very well. The other plant instead had already started in a strange way making three leaves at the first stage. So I decided to shear it and in the near future every shoot I will shear it again until I have six apicals. For now the development has slowed down compared to the other but surely it will be worth it. Nutritionally, both are not having any problems, in fact, they bode well. This week I gave the RQS growth phase tablet for the first time and it gave the plants an added boost of nutrients that was visible right away. I am very happy with how this grow is progressing and also with the experience that I am learning each time. I'll see you next week aiming high.

Week 4 ended in a monstrous way. The plants are developing very fast so I think that already next week the one that I decided to leave with the main top will start to flower. Between the two phenotypes there are not many differences for now, only some delay in growth in the one that I pruned because of the cuts but all in all it has not lost much time and is recovering quickly. Nutritionally everything is going exceptionally well. There are no signs of deficiency and you can see that the nutrients are very good as the branches and leaves are growing very vigorous. I water every other day with only pH corrected water and once in these days I have also used the tablets, also from the same line, that supplement the necessary nutrients. I am very confident of these plants and I hope to complete a very good harvest and express the best quality of this genetics.

Week 5 in a rush because I missed an update so I do several weeks in a row. This week I had to put the plant I left with the middle top in bloom because it was getting too big, but it's only continuing to grow even bigger. It looks like a palm tree now, the leaves are huge and really fleshy. Even in height it doesn't joke, it doubles almost every two days. The tall little one, on the other hand, I keep leaving it on an 18 hour light cycle and I must say that by now it is pushing hard too. The foliage is well developed and also the trunk is very firm. It has been through a lot but I'm sure it won't let me down. Aside from some pruning of the largest or worst arranged leaves I have not done anything but LST on some branches to better balance the growth of the plant. In terms of nutrients everything continues to proceed well. I water as usual every two days with only pH corrected water and use about 1/1.2 l of water per plant. Everything is going great and will have to continue like this. See you soon friends.

End of week 6 and the plants are really going strong. The one I put in bloom is now getting longer and longer and I had to turn up the light, even the leaves are getting bigger and bigger. The other plant on the other hand is vegetating very well and I decided to align it better by bending a branch to do a more precise main-lining. As nutrients continue to proceed all is well. I don't add anything just ph corrected water. Once I used the tablets always of the line but regarding the flowering phase and I must say that in addition to the fertilizer already present in the earth are very effective. Everything always continues to be precise, let's hope that the results do not disappoint expectations.

We're in week 7 for these M.A.C.'s and I'm back on line with the journal or so. I've been a little busy but finally got it done. The plants are getting scarier and scarier. The blooming is going really well and we are now starting to see the first signs of flowers. Even the little one I put in bloom and I must say that I am giving me much satisfaction. The shape is as I wanted it to be and this technique that I'm using for the first time gives me hope for the future. Nutritionally everything is going well. The largest plant shows small signs on the leaves while the other continues in an optimal way. We enter the most beautiful phase and also the habits change. The first smells are starting to rise and are very promising as the plants themselves. I can't wait to get to the end, but I don't want to rush and make mistakes because I want to get the most out of this genetics.

I've had a bit of trouble with this diary and I've also messed up the comment update so we're now at the end of week 9. The plants are overgrowing and the tops are swelling day by day and with them the amount of resin is growing. This week I have only given ph corrected water and I have done some defoliation to the small M.A.C. to allow more light infiltration and better air ventilation. The flowers are growing and giving off a really intense citrus scent with pungent notes every time I bathe and check them, the pistils are thick and white but are making room for the main cola's calyxes to swell. The taller M.A.C. almost scares me when I look at it, it is really majestic despite the bending I did and in this phase of flowering the buds are exploding in width forming really compact clusters, the small M.A.C. instead has the buds well arranged all on the same height and we start to see the first formations of flowers accompanied by all the pollen. By now I am just waiting to see them hanging and then enjoy them, I am proactive and I think I have done a good job, I hope it will meet my expectations.

Week 10 ends and these Cookies are truly a miracle. They continue to develop perfectly and get more and more beautiful. I grew the plants with two different techniques so I could see the different growth developments and I have to say that the main-lining technique compacts the buds in a few places leaving them perfectly even. It is a technique that has led me to use a few more weeks of vegetative growth but obtaining a more satisfactory result, clean and very profitable than the other plant that, instead, has grown in an exaggerated way without perhaps expressing itself to the maximum. Between the two phenotypes there are no notable differences in the flowers, in fact the plants seem almost twins. The only difference is that some formations of buds on the side branches of the larger M.A.C. are forming really rocky clusters that intrigue me a lot. Nutritionally I didn't add anything like I did last week, just ph corrected water. The smell of this variety intoxicates the whole room with citrusy tones that are really sweet, in fact you can imagine it just by looking at the buds that are full of pollen right down to the biggest leaves. I hope I'm making you want to try this variety as much as I am.

We are finishing up week 11 really well. As you can see the leaves of the big M.A.C. are losing vigor and color, becoming dry and brown but I do not worry about this since we are almost at the end and overall I must say that it is a huge beautiful plant. The pistils are turning from white to amber and stand out with the gray/purple color of the tops that from the photos do not stand out prevailing the glitter of this snowy resin. Even the small M.A.C. is losing a bit towards the end but the yield is amazing, the buds are a bit behind the other one, in fact I hope they will continue to push since up to now they are not disappointing me, wow the pollen formation, it seems more willing to create pollen than to grow. Like the last few weeks I have been watering the plants only with ph corrected water. We are now towards the end and I really can't wait to try this variety anymore, I hope you are enjoying this alien journey as well.

Week 12 over and we are now heading towards the wash even though for the past few weeks I have been going on with only ph corrected water anyway. This M.A.C. is really stunning, its height, its rocky exotic tops, really full of resin and by now with pistils ready. Its purple color is visible so much it has gotten bigger. I must say I thought it would get even worse at the leaf level, instead they are holding up quite well. The main-lined M.A.C. is continuing to get bigger and bigger, creating clumps of pollen that are very fragrant, unlike the other one I'm noticing a worsening of the foliage, but the growth of this plant continues to amaze me more and more, being small but with very swollen grey buds. In between the bright green and gray, the pistils are starting to turn amber. I am very proud of these genetics and hope you are enjoying them too.

Finally the thirteenth week ends and I say that because the monkey to try these flowers is now out of proportion. The M.A.C. I decided to take it off because I really like the development that it has now, the buds are gray and purple, it has a scent that intoxicates the room and the resin is very thick and sticky. At the leaf level I must say that it has not disappointed me, in fact I must say to my surprise that it has kept its green color. As I said at the beginning for now I cut the branches, I removed the largest leaves and finally hung everything, keeping controlled humidity and temperature, soon I will clean them in more detail. The "main-lining" M.A.C. I decided to leave it up a bit more because the pistils are still behind the other M.A.C. . The tops are huge! I hope they grow a little more in the next few weeks. This plant has a spectacular resin that curls the leaves and its glitter brings out the fabulous colors of this plant. She's a little more flawed on the foliage side but the buds don't seem to be affected and I'm happy with them. I really hope you like them too even though sometimes I realize that the photo never does justice to reality.

Only for this M.A.C. (P2) ends week 14, and I can't wait to pull her down as well, she's been driving me crazy. What can I say, the tops are gorgeous, she really expressed herself well and I can't help but be proud of her. She has crazy colors, gray standing out among the brown pistils and amber green standing out among those few now still white pistils. It is rich in clumps and the tops end in a nice wide cone tip. There are 6 twin buds and I must say that I particularly like this technique, I like this development of a low plant but with explosive buds. By now we are in full wash, I always try to get the water out of the pot, so as to wash away the last remnants of fertilizer. For now I think I've done a good job, keeping in mind that there is always something to learn but I'm convinced that with each diary there will always be one more improvement. I'll wait for the next update to show you both clean tops, describing them together. I hope you are waiting as eagerly as I am!

In this route I decided to use two techniques, LST and main-lining, I must say that I am satisfied with the work I did, especially for the main-lining technique because it developed really well, the tops were almost perfect, LST came out well, as a technique never disappoints me and I always tend to prefer it, but this time I will change my mind and I will certainly try to do even better the main-lining. No big problems apart from some dry leaves towards the end of flowering but as I wrote I didn't pay much attention because the buds were developing well and because I was washing. I always hope to improve over time and always learn new things, although so far I'm happy with the results I got. As always I love doing these journals, reviewing the various changes and getting nice comments is always exciting being neither expert. Our alien journey ends here, I hope you enjoyed it!
