The Mac is Back, but Where’s it From?

Miracle Alien Cookies combines Alien Cookies with Starfighter and Colombian Gold. OG Kush auto is a match of the original West Coast favorite and a ruderalis variant.
Autoflowers Grow Fast and Yield Weight
Germinate your Return of the Mac auto seeds with the paper towel method. You need two sheets of paper towel, two matching dinner plates, purified water in a bottle with a spray nozzle, and tweezers.
Spray one towel with purified water to make it moist. Lay it on one of the plates. Use tweezers to place the seeds on the damp towel, leaving an inch of space between them. Wet the second towel and cover the seeds. Enclose the medium with the second plate.
Keep the seeds in a warm, dark spot. Don’t allow stray light to enter. Marijuana seeds usually sprout a little white taproot within 1‒5 days. Remove and plant in the permanent medium once germination concludes.
Return of the Mac auto seeds are easy to grow, and even beginners can reap decent rewards. It’s important to remember that autoflowers have a shorter life cycle, so errors may incur a heavy toll.
Grow these marijuana seeds inside, outside, or in a greenhouse. Auto varieties are excellent for indoor operations. Long “days” of light develop the mostly diminutive plants.
Maximize yields with the Sea of Green (SOG) or Screen of Green (ScrOG) techniques. Trim and prune to improve light coverage and aeration.
Boost growth with a nitrogen-strong NPK fertilizer. Wait until the plants have completed the seedling stage and start with a half dose. Autos usually spend about five or six weeks in the vegetative stage.
Power explosive growth with long hours of light. Choose 18 hours on and 6 off or 20 hours on and 4 off. Autos aren’t photoperiod, so they don’t follow the seasons. Their ruderalis genes enable them to flower automatically based on age.
The flowering stage lasts 8–9 weeks, delivering yields of around 15 oz./m². The dark olive buds thicken to produce decent yields. Boost flower development with a fertilizer high in potassium and phosphorus. Flowering plants need less nitrogen.
For outdoor operations, ensure at least six hours of direct sunlight. Continental or temperate climates are optimal, showcasing dry, warm, and sunny conditions. Avoid windy areas and consider temporary shelter from heavy rains.
