Hello Everyone,
Things have been coming along great with the Crack Mack cannabis plant.
Today is the day I changed the light schedule from eighteen hours of light and six hours of darkness, to twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness.
This will make the cannabis plant think that the seasons have changed and it will begin producing the desired buds.
I performed my last net training today and set the top net to about where I think it will be finally positioned. Currently the growth is not far from touching the second net, so this will give me ample weaving opportunity during the initial stretch phase of the flowering cycle.
The floor insert area is easy to move around due to no other plants (except for a cayenne plant over on the left) being in the tent, so I scrunched it up a bit around the plant so that seeping water will pool. Notice the amber color of the water. This is an indicator that the pot is filled with nutrients that the plant is utilizing for lush growth right now and we do not want to flush this away from the plant. Positioning the floor so that the plant can suck the water back up will ensure she does not quickly become deficient of vital nutrients.
The canopy is pretty huge and will utilize 100% of the overhead panel during flowering. Not a whole lot of the overhead panels light capacity will be lost, if any.
It's a tricky canopy with five mainstems. The odd stem is in the front and there is hardly enough room for it. I have enough room in the back and it looks like I'm going to fill the entire width of the scrog nets and about half of each side of the scrogs.
The mainstems are not the fattest I've ever grown, but they are indeed pretty fat and healthy and should still get a bit bigger over the coming weeks. I performed some heavy training early in vegetative growth on these stems and the results can be seen now. They grew to be very fat and solid and will now easily support the weight of the buds to come. The netting will also assist with supporting dense heavy buds and the combined training should yield impressive results.
One thing I've learned about growing sativa dominant varieties, is that is it worth it to be patient with vegetation time. The plants take on a different type of hardy maturity once reaching a certain size that will not be present in earlier stages of vegetative growth, and inducing flowering too early will likely result in yields that are much lower than they would have been with a few extra weeks patience, and the potency may also not be on par with what it could have been had it reached a full mature size.
I feel confident that this female cannabis plant has reached a fully mature size and is ready for flowering.
Now things will get exciting with the grow.
That will do it for this update.
What do you all think of how the Crack Mack is looking?
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a good day! -@futuremind
