Mrs_Larimar 2025-11-22 Harvest of the Black Cat Since I'm using the "only add water" strategy from Biotabs, growing has become incredibly easy – I nearly forget I have plants in the room! I think my setup is pretty close to perfect now: light, humidity, and temperature are controlled by Growbase, while watering is automated by Autopot. So all I have to do is admire my girls! The Black Cat started well and turned out to be a wonderful plant with long colas covered in dense buds – what else could you need? I only had what I'd call "luxury problems": the buds became so heavy that the branches needed support, and I had one bud with rot. This happened because I harvested three days later than planned, and the buds were so massive. But that's absolutely okay with me – I'm very pleased with the results. Thanks for Biotabs and Puraplants for the Collaboration Discoutcode Puraplants " growbigger" ( 10 Percent Off) discountcode Biotabs GDBT420 ( 15 Percent off)
