How come it was initially the runt?

Runt front right. Day 7 from planting.

MAC day 23 veg. Runt in it's final place on the left.

MAC Flip +36. All the tall stuff on the left of the screen is the "runt".

OK, so it was just mysteriously smaller. I thought maybe it had suffered from some calamity and then recovered and became the super plant!

Yep, just started slower and took off after flip. More so than her sisters.

Sue grow area

The grow area is running normally.

I'm starting two checks a day again and topping up the reservoirs on one of the two checks. Only checking and adjusting the PH during the once daily top up is letting the PH drop too much. So, I will check twice a day and make sure the reservoir is in the 6-6.5 range. The MAC is getting the yellowing leaves, that I'm trying to control. The Purple Ghost Candy next door doesn't seem to be prematurely yellowing but is getting the same treatment. I'm not ruling out the CO2 having an effect on the reservoir PH.

The flowers continue to build and the plants look good with the exception of the yellowing leaves. The smell is incredible, overpowering the PGC next door in odor.
I mistakenly cut a stalk last week while trimming between the screens. I hung it up even though very immature. I cut the buds off the stalk yesterday, and it had my hands stinking very strongly. Reminded me of grapefruit. I've got em in a small grove bag and will try them in a few weeks.

Changed out the CO2 tank yesterday. This will probably be the last one of the grow. Next grow I won't start the CO2 until the stretch starts, after flip.

40ml CalMag+ added two days ago along with a 15ml bump of Bloom nutes. The PH is more stable since yesterday. Nothing added during the morning check, PH within the 6-6.5 range.

The flowers are growing nicely and the smell is just amazing. Overpowering the smell of the Purple Ghost Candy next door in the Sally grow area.

Why do I have this sudden craving for chocolate milk?

What do they smell like?

Thanks Scottay I think there will be lots of bud from this garden. Herbie's says, "Mac doesn’t take long to finish flowering and usually matures in 63 days after you switch your timer to 12/12."

Why do I have this sudden craving for chocolate milk?

How did you know? The smell has hints of baked goods, the sweet kind.

What do they smell like?

They have a smell that provokes appetite. The immediate area in the grow smells as if someone left a warm pastry out. After cutting undergrowth a while back my hands and arms were covered with stickiness and smelled of grapefruit. The smell is definitely, how do they put it, loud.

Reservoir change this morning. Used the recommended amounts of General Hydroponics three part liquid nutes for 17 gallons in Mid Bloom. Added a spoonful of Epsom Salts and 40ml CalMag+. PHed to 6-6.5.

The plants are continuing to build fine flowers. Seeing more trichomes.

Thanks Scottay! I've been anxiously awaiting the frost build up. I'm hoping for it to continue.

And miraculous!

They are living up to their name for sure. Just hoping the taste matches the smell.
