Hello everyone,
Entering week 25, we are closing in on the final chapter for the MAC1 F1 hybrids. Both plants have advanced another week in their flowering cycles, and major changes are happening in the tent as we prepare for harvest.
The Smaller Sibling (Week 9 of Flowering)
The smaller plant has entered her 9th week of flowering and is almost ready for the chop.
The trichomes are looking great with a high concentration of milky heads.
She is currently on her 4th day of a strict flush, receiving only plain water with plenty of runoff to thoroughly clean out the root zone.
The Big Girl (Week 10 of Flowering)
The large plant has officially entered her 10th week of flowering, and she has reached peak maturity. To be honest, she has become an absolute monstersaurus—a genetic crossover between Godzilla and King Kong that completely took over the 150x150 tent all by herself.
The physical side of things has gone from a regular circus to complete, unadulterated chaos. The colas are so heavy and stacked that they are completely out of control, falling all over each other like a row of drunk dominoes. They ended up a bit on the thinner side—definitely not the fat, chunky buds I originally wanted—but hey, it is what it is! She clearly spent all her budget on pure size instead of density.
Despite the messy structural layout, she is legally ready. The trichomes have started to break down perfectly, showing a beautiful mix of amber and milky heads with barely any clear ones left in sight.
To prepare her for the chop, I started her on pure reverse osmosis (RO) water yesterday. Today, she was hit with a heavy 40-liter flush.
The current runoff sits at 780 PPM. The plan is to repeat the heavy flush tomorrow to drop that number below 400 PPM, and then push it down even lower the day after. She just needs a few more days to fully clear out her system before the final cut.
With both girls in full flush mode, this cycle is rapidly coming to an end. I highly doubt there will be another update next week, but we will see how the timing plays out!
Thank you for stopping by and have a good one.
Regards,
