This Crack Mack is a cross between Green Crack and Big Mack Superstar. I've been looking for desirable traits to be carried over from both genetic lines and thus far I have identified some desirable traits.

Foliage profile consistent with Big Mack Superstars desirable cultivar.
Foliage profile also consistent with Green Crack (Thin/long Sativa)
Gargantuan growth trait from Green Crack.

What I've coined the gargantuan growth trait is more applicable to flowering cycle, and not noticeable until flowering cycle. The Green Crack displayed an insatiable urge to continue growing with both height and girth, whereas the Big Mack Superstar has a stretch that is consistent with standard stretching and doesn't continue past budding.

The stretch does appear to have slowed down slightly over the past two days, but she is still stretching.

I think this trait will evenly distribute like the leaf profile has, and the stretch will likely not be continuous for much longer, but it might.

The overall health of the plant is good. We can determine this by looking at the foliage. There are some burnt tips throughout the plant, and this is why I say the health is good and not great, because the tips are an indicator that something is off slightly, or was.

I noticed I was underfeeding a bit during my cal-mag and nitrogen uptake, so I stacked nitrogen and cal-mag with Humboldt's Secret Flower Stacker 0N/7P/5K for the next eight gallons of watering. Some yellowing in the foliage alerted me to the nitrogen deficiency and no more yellowing has occurred since increasing the nitrogen. I will likely not feed anymore nitrogen and cal-mag after this eight gallons of water and will only use the Humboldt's Secret Flower Stacker with phosphorus(P) and potassium(K).

During these next few weeks everything will be very critical. At this point there is not a huge margin for error, but there is still margin.

I feel confident with my plans for feeding, and my watchful eye is extra watchful during this time. Any signs that she is not liking the feed, I will back off the feed. Any signs that she needs more I might give a little more but I am more worried about overfeeding than underfeeding.

Once damage is done from overfeeding, the result can be devastation to the overall yield, so we do not want this to happen.

My current feed rate is 1 mL of 0N-7P-5K per gallon, and the solution says plants can take up to 8 mL's per gallon, so I feel pretty safe with feeding the minimum dosage.

So what is left to do aside from what I've just outlined?

Just kick back and wait!

I'm excited to find out what kind of bud this will produce. It's cool to be able to identify desirable traits in vegetation, but that really doesn't mean much if the bud doesn't turn out to be fire.

I feel confident that this plant will indeed give desirable bud. My guess is there will be fruity overtone consistent with the Big Mack Superstar, and there will also be some earthy piney undertones from the Green Mack.

So far I'm not smelling much yet.. Walking inside I can smell the plants smell, but not the bud smell yet. It probably won't be much longer before this girl is pumping out strong terpenes.
