Hello Everyone,
I took a little time off from posting on Hive but now I'm feeling the long term effects of posting withdrawals setting in so it's time to get back to it.
Right now is the perfect time too because I have the biggest cannabis plant of my life currently mid-way through flowering. This is the time when things get exciting in the grow tent and we're able to witness the development of the desired flowers the plant produces.
This is the Crack Mack, a strain created from Green Crack and Big Mack Superstar.
It is not a stabilized strain and thus has a high amount of variance in the phenotypes it produces.
This particular plant is a clone from the first successful female of the Crack Mack genetic line.
What we are witnessing here is a plant on its thirty third day of flowering, in an eight foot wide tent.
It is quite monstrous in size for an indoor plant and I'll likely harvest quite a bit of bud from this clone.
She's held up with two layers of nets, which assisted me in spreading her branch system to become extremely wide and low, and the nets will also aid in supporting girthy heavy buds.
Spreading this plant wide for a low profile is not an easy task considering its sativa dominance. She likes to grow big and tall, but not wide and short.
The result in forcing her to grow in a way that is not natural influenced this immense canopy of buds that is almost eight feet wide.
She is glistening with trichome coverage and her fragrance is a fruity aroma comparable to strawberries.
I'm looking forward to documenting my captures of trichome macro shots this grow. Because of the colder outdoor temperatures in New York this time of year, it is easier for me to achieve lower night time temperatures indoors, which helps promote purpling of the buds.
It's great to be back on Hive, I hope you all have been doing well!
Thank you for stopping by.
Have a great day! -
