Hello everyone,
Entering week 23, the MAC1 F1 hybrids continue their separate journeys, though one has officially tested my patience to its absolute limit.
The biggest plant is officially in her eighth week of flowering. Her heavy feeding days are long gone, but I did make a recent switch in her diet, moving from the Canna nutrients over to Plagron Cocos A&B. She is still getting 2.8 ml per liter of water daily, supplemented with three drops of Hesi SuperVit to help her finish things out. For the rest, she is coming along, but the results are a mixed bag. She is throwing out very thin buds and colas overall. A few of them are showing some thickness, but they are few and far between. It is definitely not the bountiful haul I usually look forward to harvesting, but it is what it is.
Meanwhile, moving on to the smaller sibling, she has decided to throw a whole new curveball my way. I noticed she is starting to show some seeds—specifically about one seed per bud across multiple bud sites. I have been playing detective and closely hunting for any "nanners" or pollen sacs, but I cannot find a single one anywhere. At this point, I am officially counting this plant as a total loss. I will probably just use her to make some hashish or something similar down the line. To be honest, this little one showed major problems right from the start. While the other two plants could have easily exploded to fill out an entire 120 cm tent, this one kept herself tiny and just continues to plague me with these seed issues. If anyone needs a collection of custom, self-sabotaging budget bonsai genetics, you know who to ask!
Climate-wise, things remain stable across the tents:
• Temperatures: Completely in check. Mostly sitting comfortably at 26°C, with a nighttime minimum of 21°C and a brief daytime peak of 29°C for just an hour or two.
• Humidity: Stable and controlled.
Looking ahead, I think I am going to start flushing next week. The biggest plant is not showing any imminent signs of being ready for harvest anytime soon, so she will likely need at least 10 full weeks of flowering to cross the finish line. Let's see how they look next week.
As usual, thank you for stopping by and have a nice day.
Best regards,
