Hello Everyone,
Things have been coming along really good with the garden. There's no issues that I can see and everything looks like it's thriving.
Let's jump right in.
There's a few squash starting and they are looking pretty healthy!
This pretty green pepper has been growing slowly but it maintains good health and looks really good.
The eggplant are starting to flower too.
I think it looks pretty cool and can't wait to see how it looks when it starts forming.
There's plenty of tomatoes growing and they are getting bigger every day.
It was a beautiful day so I decided to spark up a joint while I was taking a look at the garden :D
I stopped by the Syracuse New York inner harbor creekwalk today for some fresh air and photographic opportunities.
I found a little grassy area that I had all to myself and scoped out a pretty little patch of yellow wildflowers that I thought might look awesome for a little photoshoot. I was happy to see all of the teeming wildlife while getting down close for the shots. Lot's of bees were active today.
It was an enjoyable outing .
Let's have a look at the cannabis before wrapping up this post.
This is the female Crack Mack, fifty one days into vegetation.
I am not certain if this is my slowest growing cannabis plant to date but it sure feels like it. Coming up on two months of vegetation I feel like she should be bigger.
The plant has shown some decent upward development since the last post update, but nothing explosive by any means.
I'm certain that the heavy stem training slowed the progress of its growth, but I feel confident that she should hit a good growth spurt here soon.
In the photo above I have highlighted the area of the plant that reveals the sex. The white wispy hairs are the pistils, and are a female plant trait.
This is what is desired primarily for flowering cannabis plants, due to the fact that the female plants produce the desired buds which produce both the psychoactive and medicinal compounds that we seek to obtain by cultivating the plant.
The new growth hasn't been displaying any issues. Previously I had some burnt tips happening and I think this was a result of high pH, because since my adjustment lower the plant is responding well with no new burnt tips.
At this point of the Crack Macks growth I just need to be patient. I could increase the light intensity but I don't see it as necessary, as I'm sure the plant is getting enough light currently, and pushing it to grow faster by introducing higher light intensity is more of a recipe for problems than for increased rate of growth.
The most exciting aspect of this Crack Mack to me is that it shows characteristics consistent with the Big Mack Superstar longleaf profile, (which produce bomb fruity bud) and that indicates there's a good chance that the wait will be well worth it if this ends up producing the type of bud that I think it will.
I have a lot more future oriented thoughts with the Crack Mack, but we'll get to that in the next update.
What do you all think of how the plants are looking?
I'd love to read your thoughts in the comment section!
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a good day! -
