Among the two plants, the larger MAC is racing ahead, showcasing vigorous growth. Throughout the week, the Copper Thunder Rods have been diligently doing their job, constantly being repositioned to manage stretch and canopy development.

Observing the pictures, it's apparent that our Auto Macs exhibit distinct characteristics, leading one to believe they are different strains. However, they are indeed sisters, showcasing their unique traits within the same lineage.
To support our plants' microbial life and foster healthy growth, we've added 1ml of Bio-Bizz Fish Mix per 1.5 liters of water. This nutrient-rich solution was evenly distributed between the plants and top-fed, avoiding the use of the reservoir.

In the coming midweek, we are introducing a metal framework measuring just under 4x2ft, consisting of 3” squares. This mesh will be suspended above the canopy using ratchet hangers. The framework will serve as a support for both plants, which will undergo defoliation before their stems are carefully splayed under it, think low-profile pruning. The goal here is to encourage robust bottom growth, ensuring that every branch yields premium flowers. It’s worth noting that one of the better days for pruning over the coming fortnight in our Lunar gardening calendar is the 26th July. I’m pleased that I could coincide my defoilation with that date, which will save the plant some stress.
Happy Growing
