Hello everyone,
Welcome back for the final flowering update of my MAC1 F1 Hybrid by Barney's Farm.
She officially entered week 9 on Wednesday, so this update is a couple of days late, but I wanted to wait until I was sure she was right where I wanted her to be.
After checking the trichomes, I'm seeing exactly what I've been waiting for: almost everything is milky, plenty have turned amber, and some have even started breaking down. She's telling me loud and clear that it's time.
I started flushing 12 days ago, and since then the runoff has consistently stayed below 100 PPM, so I'm expecting a very clean smoke once she's finished drying and curing.
Visually, she has become an absolute masterpiece. The leaves have faded into beautiful shades of purple and yellow, giving her those classic end-of-flower autumn colors. Out of every plant currently in my garden, this is without question the most beautiful one. The colors, the structure, the frost, the bud density... she has it all.
Training her was an absolute pleasure. Unlike her big sister in the larger tent, who apparently chose chaos as a lifestyle, this plant was manageable from the start. Every bit of high-stress training I threw at her was met with a simple response:
Is that all you've got?
She never complained, never slowed down, never showed signs of stress. She just kept pushing forward like a true champion.
The trellis net has 81 squares, and pretty much all of them are filled. Some tops even decided one square wasn't enough and triple-booked themselves. Based on that alone, I'm expecting at least 81 flowering branches.
One of the things I'm most proud of is the right side of the canopy. Early in flower it looked like it was going to be an empty corner, so I added two infrared bars to help that side develop. Fast forward to today and it's filled in beautifully, helping create a full and even canopy from edge to edge.
And let's talk about these branches.
They're thick, strong, and holding themselves up proudly to the finish line. No flopping over, no drama, no desperate requests for support. Unlike some plants that spend late flower impersonating wet spaghetti, this lady built herself like a bodybuilder.
Then there's the frost.
The buds are absolutely buried in trichomes. Not covered. Buried.
She looks like somebody dipped every cola into a bucket of crushed diamonds and then rolled them through fresh snow for good measure. Every bud glistens under the light. No matter where you look, there's another layer of frost underneath the frost underneath the frost.
Environmental conditions have been rock solid throughout late flower, with temperatures staying below 25°C and humidity sitting around 45-47%. Those conditions helped her finish exactly the way I hoped she would.
Tonight she'll be harvested.
From there she'll spend roughly 14 days drying at 60% humidity before moving into jars or Terploc bags for another couple of weeks of curing.
And then... the moment of truth.
I'll be back with a harvest report, final numbers, and hopefully a smoke report. If all goes according to plan, we'll celebrate properly with the first joint together.
I just want to finish by saying thank you to everyone who followed along during this grow. I really appreciate all the likes, comments, advice, and conversations throughout this journey.
This may be the end of this MAC 1 F1 Hybrid diary, but it's definitely not the end of the story. A fresh batch of MAC 1 F1 seeds is already waiting in the wings with a new batch number, which means we're about to start the whole adventure again.
Hopefully I'll find another plant like this one: easy to train, ridiculously frosty, built like a bodybuilder, and about as stress-resistant as a tax bill. But knowing my luck, I'll probably end up with another oversized sister who ignores all instructions and turns the grow tent into a jungle.
Either way, there will be a new saga, new lessons, new experiments, and undoubtedly new opportunities for me to question my life choices while staring at trichomes with a jeweler's loupe at 2 a.m
Thank you for stopping by, have yourselves a great weekend, and remember: if this harvest goes badly, we'll blame the scales. If it goes well, we'll blame the genetics.
See you all at harvest. 🌿🔥💎

and on it goes. i don't have much to report. due to some very hot days she got alg-a-mic and acti-vera from BIOBIZZ for a better nutrient uptake. she has grown another few centimetres, looks healthy and strong. i had applied LST to her again to get the side shoots more into the sun.

Øpi survived the wrath of Debby(Tropical Storm)she stood her ground(in her pot)😂Monday I added a piece of wood to the anti-tipping device to hold up the lower branches as they pull the plant sideways and will only get worse as the buds gets bigger and now Øpi look more straight than leaning sideways.😃
______________________________
Øpi and other sisters got the defoliation treatment, mostly fan leaves.
_______________________________
Top dressed her up with Gaia Green Power Bloom about half a 3/4cup as i can't keep up feeding her liquid nutrients in such industrial amounts😅but the results are already showing and she seems to like it, i will continue liquid nutrients feeding once or twice a week.

Update: Woche 8 ist gestartet & tatsächlich gibt es aktuell gar nicht so viel zu berichten. Die AK-47 Auto von @HubaBreedingLab_85 macht sich weiterhin sehr gut und scheint sich jetzt voll und ganz auf ihre Buds zu konzentrieren. Mit ca. 60cm hat sich bei der Höhe nichts mehr getan & insgesamt macht die Pflanze weiterhin einen gesunden Eindruck. Zusätzliche Nährstoffe gibt es aktuell keine und bisher scheint meine Living Soil weiterhin ihren Job zu machen. Jetzt bin ich gespannt, wie stark die Buds in den nächsten Tagen noch zulegen :D.

Update: Woche 8 verläuft weiterhin ohne Probleme & die AK-47 Auto von @HubaBreedingLab_85 macht genau das, was sie aktuell machen soll. Die Buds nehmen gleichmäßig an Masse zu und nach und nach bilden sich immer mehr Trichome. Auch der Geruch entwickelt sich weiter & wird mittlerweile stetig intensiver. Zusätzliche Nährstoffe gibt es weiterhin keine und bisher scheint meine Living Soil die Pflanze gut zu versorgen.

Keeping the canopy even and making sure there is sufficient airflow thru the plant. Still seeing a couple leaves with holes but not much anymore. Took off a few branches that weren’t getting enough light.

Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish
This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera.
All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant.
Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures.
All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier.
This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always.
t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care.
Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy.
And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic.
Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home?
This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal.
To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send.
This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there.
Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !
Growers love always 🌿❤️

Saw a few amber trichomes and I like them on the active and less sedative side so it was time to chop. Finally freeing up space to move one of the big ones into the tent and flip!

TUESDAY 8/13:
She grew another couple of inches overnight and popped some new pistils..maybe she IS starting to flower!
I fed her a gallon with grow big, big bloom, kelp me kelp you, bembe, terpinator, and great white today. It will probably be her last big dose of Nitrogen.
WEDNESDAY:
It rained a little bit last night and despite being very sunny, the temperatures were about 10 degrees cooler than usual. I see some spider mite damage on the plant next to her, so I'll be spraying all the plants with trifecta crop control as soon as the humidity drops again.
THURSDAY:
I wasn't able to visit her today..😟
FRIDAY:
She really IS flowering!!! She'll definitely have time to finish before potential frost issues can occur...love it.👍 I sprinkled some bat guano and silicium flash onto her soil and watered it in with about a half gallon of water including beastie bloomz, terpinator, and bembe. I also thoroughly sprayed her with boom boom spray. I started brewing another batch of the PK booster compost tea including extra bat guano, earthworm castings, bembe, big bloom, and kelp me kelp you. It should be ready on Sunday.
SATURDAY:
Went boating...no time for gardening.
SUNDAY:
It was 108f today...miserably hot....I douched her with about a half-gallon of compost tea...
MONDAY:
She stretched another inch or so..

After a longer phase of reduced EC, feeding has been increased again.
Input: 1.65–2.0 EC / pH 6.3
Runoff has built up to ~3.0 EC, but remains stable – no signs of overfeeding or stress.
No flushing yet – the final flush with Flawless Finish is planned in about a week 💧
🔹 Observations – Cherry MAC Muffin
🍒 Development: Densest buds in the tent, very sticky and frosty
📏 Runoff EC: 3.0
✅ Status: No stress symptoms despite the high EC – watering frequency slightly reduced to maintain balance

We broke big cola on central plant and cried a lot.
Also we continued partial defoliation time to time.
It should be noted that plants began to drink much more, we watered them every three days, but in five to six litres per watering.
Girls showed their gender. Next week we expect all plants to bloom, otherwise we'll have to change the light mode.
