I’ve posted about it many many times including screenshots of IG posts and messages talking about issues with crosses from that particular plant. I haven’t seen anyone say they’ve gotten decent results from a MAC1 cross. I have seen many people say they’ve had issues.What was it? People saying all the offspring was mutated or something. If that holds true that would be bad, being untested.
To be clear, the issue appears to only be specific to the MAC1 cut.
The issues seem to include the following:
- very low seed production
- very low germination rates on seeds
- majority of plants that germ are mutants. Full on deformed leaves, no vigor mutants.
I have seen two plants from MAC1 crosses that look good. But each took a breeder popping all the seeds from a MAC1 pollination to find. Cap has also used it for breeding, and managed to find at least one decent plant. But again, it took popping a lot of seeds.
Given that the MAC1 cut has been shared pretty widely at this point (it’s going to be the next GG4, just watch), and the massive popularity of anything MAC, I would expect to have seen at least a single “successful” cross with the cut if it was possible.
Some people claim that Cap has said that MAC1 was shit for breeding just to keep people from breeding with it. I mean it’s possible, but if that was the case, I would’ve expected someone to prove him wrong at this point. If Cap doesn’t want people breeding with his stuff, I don’t know why he would’ve given away the cut for free to so many people.
I would not recommend buying anything MAC1. Is it possible to get a decent plant? Yes. But, it’s highly unlikely that a single pack will produce even a single halfway decent female.
Gu is well aware of these issues. He also doesn’t test his crosses. Finally, from what I’ve heard, he’s also already experienced the reduced seed production, which just supports that the MAC1 issues exist.
Believe me, don’t believe me. At least now anyone who reads this is informed.
