Crack Mack Update - Getting Frosty

in Canna-Curate14 days ago

Hello Everyone,

The Crack Mack is starting to get really frosty.

She's also taking on a nice purple coloration to her buds. This is due to lower temperatures at night time, which I'm more easily able to achieve due to lower temperatures outside during this time of the year.

Let's have a look at my favorite photographs from today.

We can see these buds are really starting to get fat, now let's get a little closer to see them in all of their glory.

The fruity notes are and dank overtones are out of this world. During the day she fills the entire house with her unique dank aroma.

As frosty and plump as she is, she still has twenty five days to go. During this time these buds will swell up and the trichomes will become very milky and start to turn amber in the last week of flowering.

That will do it for this update.

How is this Crack Mack looking to all of you?

I would love to read your thoughts in the comment section!

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a good day! -@futuremind

Those are crazy 'whiskers' on those buds. I wonder what role they play in delivering cannabinoid goodness.

Those crazy whiskers are the pistils, which do not have an direct influence on the delivery of cannabinoids. Except for when pollinated, it triggers the plant to use its energy for seed production instead of cannabinoid production.

awesome diagram I found

The ovule will produce a seed inside when pollinated.

That's crazy. I thought the reddish brown 'hairs' delivered some goodness. I've seen some buds with a lot of them while others have fewer. I guess in and of themselves, they do not have psychoactive properties but are perhaps indirect indicators of plant variety or some developmental process.

You got it.
I remember in my early years of cannabis consumption (before I was a grower) people would talk about the "red hairs" and more distinct red hairs was always a selling point for "stronger bud."

It's a common misconception in this regard.

The pistils are white until the plant starts maturing, and some growers will harvest based on the pistil color change alone. Some will harvest at 50% brown/red pistils, while others will harvest with complete 100% coverage of brown/red, and some growers even harvest before any brown/red pistils are present at all!

The general consensus with this is that there should be at least 50% brown/red coverage, as this is an indicator that the trichomes are starting to mature (which play much more into the cannabinoid effects than the pistils themselves.)

I was just looking at my stuff earlier tonight and one bud has beautiful long red hairs. It looks so nice it's tempting to judge the book by it's cover. Thanks for the cool details on the plant.

They are for catching pollen

those buds will be bigger and fats, in one steak you will have more than 10 grms :D

Thank you bro, this plant has a lot of bud on it indeed :D

Thick buds man. Cant wait to see what you harvest from her. She is massive.

Thank you man. I'm shocked at how thick these buds are at this point in the grow. The next couple weeks should be really exciting as they plump up even more.
