Strength and Medical Mass

Kushycat It has been illuminated for 2 days with 25% power from the lamp at a distance of approximately 50 cm. In addition, the stem is being lightly trained with a fan aimed at it. It was previously under the other lamp, as I only switched on the second one two days ago for its big sisters. It could be that it has received a little too much light, as it looks a little strange. Let's hope for the best!

Kushycat It developed really well. I was worried because it looked strange at first. 🙏🏼🍀🌞 It now gets more light because I increased the lamps to 30% power.

Kushycat Looks great, started growing rapidly and is keeping up the pace. 🌞 Has developed very large leaves!🙏🏼 Calcium deficiency due to LED (or pH lockout) 😿

Kushycat Meow, it seems like it doesn't feel like blooming. It got a little tied up, and I greet my plants in the morning and say good night to them too. I'll prune it a little in the next few days, and then it should start blooming soon.🙏🏼 It can't flower at all because it's a photoperiod plant... 12/12, and my other plants run on 19 hours of light because they're autoflowering plants, blah blah blah. Thanks to @India_Calcoen for the tip. It's got a new hairstyle and I'll see what I can do with it.

Kushycat Dumdidum, I first considered starting a run with photoperiod plants after the other autoflowering plants. Then I remembered that spring isn't far off. I cut her back and gave her a really hard time, which she really likes. She'll then move 99% to my balcony when spring arrives and be shaped into a structure in a flower box with a trellis, at least that's the plan. We'll see how I'm doing by then and so on.

Kushycat Snip, snip. Hardly stressed, surely needs some food.

Kushycat Wild creature. I reduced it again from the top and cleaned it inside. I think it will stay like this now and then in a few weeks I will move it outside to a flower box with a trellis, where I want to let it grow. I'm excited to see what happens. It got a little food. It had a slight calcium deficiency and spots on the older leaves and was a little damaged from being tied down. The new leaves look good and the old ones were removed during cleanup. It seems to be becoming more stable after all the stress. Now it's time for rest and light feeding until I'm sure all the problems are solved.

Kushycat Not much is happening. She’s getting her color back and she’s hungry. Unfortunately, the photos aren’t very good—in real life, she doesn’t look that yellow. I think the light in the tent was probably too bright for the photos. I think in about 2–3 weeks I’ll get her used to being outside. Oh, and I gave her a bit of a tough workout again. One photo is from before, the others are from after the session.

Kushycat They're going to eat the hair right off my head! Uh, I gagged her a little more and tied her up; after that, she got a bit cranky, turned a little pale, and when she whimpers quietly...🤭🤪 I gave her a teaspoon of silica, but spread it directly on the soil so it mixes in when I water it. 🌿

Kushycat Let's keep going. Deflo + LST + Topping again. It's not mainlining; it's wildlining. Preparations to move them outside are underway, but they won't be moved out completely until after May 15 (the Ice Saints).

Kushycat Watering, fertilizing, pruning, breaking, bending—lots of everything. She’s provocative and always wants more, that little minx. Carrot and stick *whip cracking sounds* I think she’s got a healthy color now, and I’m getting the hang of the camera better too. Hope you like the photos, and if anyone knows their way around Canon digital cameras, feel free to share your thoughts.

Kushycat I need to remember to water it more—it’s basically a desert in the tent. I honestly don’t know where the humidity (RLF) is going, since I don’t have a dehumidifier or anything. Because of that, it always struggles a bit and shows it, especially combined with the stress from all the training. Still, it’s handling everything pretty well. I was a bit too rough with the high-stress training (HST)—two branches are almost completely snapped. I’ve decided to leave them as they are and hope she recovers. When I prune or accidentally damage her, sap immediately starts oozing from the cut or break point. To me, that’s a good sign—it shows she’s healthy and has strong root pressure. I really like this plant. When I rub the small stems between my fingers, they release this earthy, spicy smell. That’s not her usual scent, of course, but she definitely has a unique aroma.

Kushycat It's really struggling with the extremely low RH, and it seems to want nothing but fertilizer—preferably undiluted—otherwise it immediately starts to wilt again. Because of the RH, I won't be doing anything else for now. It's supposed to get cooler over the next few days and hopefully rain a little, then it should return to its previous condition. I've pruned it several times and removed two branches I didn't like, along with a lot of leaves.

Kushycat I adjusted the fertilizer dosage slightly—actually, I increased it. I also gave her 20 ml of Myrkohzia from INOQ. She seems to be in better shape to me. It’s supposed to get a bit colder again next week, so I’ll probably wait until later in the week to start acclimating her to the outdoors.

Kushycat And on we go with feeding, watering, and tinkering with her. I didn’t push her as hard as I did the last few times. Today she got 1.6 liters of water along with the additives and nutrients listed below. She’s getting thirstier and thirstier. I also raised the lamp a little higher than before. She clearly wants to go outside 😄 The temperatures are rising again, and next week is supposed to get quite warm, so she’ll slowly get used to being outdoors. For the first few hours, though, definitely no direct sunlight — just relaxing in the shade. After spending so much time in the tent, she’s probably gotten pretty used to indoor life. She smells so spicy and earthy when I handle her — it’s lovely, almost like standing in a pine forest.

Kushycat She dropped a ton of leaves — or rather, I took them off her and gave her another good trim. 😹 I’ve been living with her for 16 weeks now! She spent a few hours out on the balcony yesterday, though only in the shade. Tomorrow I’ll put her out there again, and I think over the next few days I’ll move her fully outside — first under a canopy, and then, after a few more days, to her permanent home, which I’ll probably set up on Monday. I was out in the garden and overdid it a little, and since I’m unfortunately dealing with active arthritis in my foot again, I have to pace myself. I’m already in enough pain without putting too much strain on it. Still, it feels really good to be outside again and see everything blooming and growing!

Kushycat My, how time flies! The lovely lady has made herself comfortable on the chair, although she usually prefers standing on the floor to avoid the prying eyes of conservative, narrow-minded folks. xD She lives outdoors full-time now, but her move into the garden is still pending. The forecast calls for several days of rain, so I’m waiting a little longer before transplanting her. She’s in no hurry, and neither am I. Maybe by the middle or end of next week she’ll move into her permanent home—we’ll see. As you can see, she’s looking very comfortable, showing off a beautiful color, and has become quite bushy. I bend a branch here and there to help her build a strong structure and prepare for carrying a heavy load later on. Other than that, it’s just water and a little fertilizer. Since my water is already relatively hard, I’ve skipped the CalMag. Outdoors, it doesn’t really make much sense anyway, especially compared to the growth rates you often see under full-spectrum LEDs. Have a great week, everyone, and see you later! 🌱😎
