Kushycat Here we go—the outdoor gardening season has begun 🌱🌞 The seedlings will be started indoors for about 14 days 🏡🌿, so don’t be surprised to see them in the tent at first. I’ve chosen four early varieties: three from Delicious Seeds 🌿 and one from World of Seeds 🌍 (see other posts). I’m using Terra Preta soil from Frux ?, which I’ve inoculated with INOQ mycorrhiza for balcony and garden plants. In one of the pictures, you can already see how the mycelium has started to colonize the soil 🍄. I let the seeds germinate in small jars ? and then planted them into their new home for the first few days. Once they’ve acclimated to outdoor conditions 🌤️, they’ll be moved outside into 19-liter geotextile pots ?🌿.

Kushycat They seem to be doing well so far 🌱😊 At first, I was a bit worried about the low RH, but since there’s still a flowering plant in the tent, it’s manageable for now. Over the next 2–3 weeks, I’ll gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions and move them outside little by little 🌤️🌿 I water them as needed from both the bottom and the top, being careful not to overwater them in order to encourage strong and healthy root growth 💧 I use tap water that has been sitting at room temperature for at least 24 hours, and every second watering gets a small dose of CalMag ⚗️ The stems were a bit weak in the beginning, so I supported them lightly to prevent them from falling over or snapping 🌱😄 Right now, a gentle breeze is helping strengthen their stems so they’ll be able to support heavy flowers later on 🌬️💪🌸

Kushycat Everything is going well so far. I think she’s developing just as well as her sisters of the same age have up to this point. The roots are already peeking out of the bottom of the pot, which surprises me. Although the pot isn’t huge at 1.3 liters, I’ve never seen such rapid root growth before in the 0.5-liter pots I used for starting them. The pots seem to be working exactly as intended, and I can now fully share the enthusiasm. Furthermore, I think the mycorrhizal preparation I used for the first time is also contributing to this. Unfortunately, I have a few fungus gnats in the tent—not a major infestation, but still annoying, and their larvae aren’t good for the roots either. I’ve hung up yellow sticky traps and treated them with neem oil. I suspect the fungus gnats are coming from the Neudorff seed-starting mix, since they only appeared after I introduced the zucchini plants into the tent. I thought Neudorff would be more careful about things like that. From now on, I’ll only use Frux seedling soil—I’ve used it before, and the small plants are in it as well. Even though the larvae are probably already in the zucchini soil, I also watered the small strawberry plants with a neem solution as a precaution. I actually meant to keep this short—I don’t think most people will read this far anyway. 😹😛 17.05.2026 Being the klutz that I am, I went a little overboard with the watering again, and the day before yesterday I noticed the leaves drooping slightly. Well, long story short, the lower part is looking a bit pale and yellowish now. I loosened the top layer of soil a little, and it’s slowly drying out again. For now, I’m just going to leave them alone and keep my hands off. I think it’s only minor damage, and they should look better again in a few days. I’m hoping for good weather this week so they can harden off properly. After that, they’ll still have plenty of time to grow big and strong before flowering in the garden this fall.

Kushycat As I mentioned in last week’s report, I unfortunately ended up with water damage on top of my roof damage. xD No, seriously — I meant well, as I’ve done too many times before, and it really makes you feel like an idiot when you keep making the same mistake over and over again… Well, they’ve already recovered somewhat, but of course I still couldn’t keep my hands to myself and ended up pruning her and her sisters, removing the drowned leaves in the process. I know that might sound a bit drastic, but basically I was the deer in the forest, and now she’s developed a strong survival instinct and will come back with full force in a few days. 😹 Like her sisters, she’ll still have a long vegetative phase outdoors before flowering begins, and I think by the next update we’ll finally meet again in the outdoor garden.

Kushycat The flood victims have recovered quite well and are now back outside, although they’re still under cover with plenty of light but no direct sunlight. After all the water and the stress from pruning, I wanted to give them a little time to recover. Over the next few days, I’ll be looking for a better spot where they can get more direct sun and won’t have to stretch as much. They, along with their sisters, have already been topped—see the previous update for details. I’m also thinking about bending the main stem a bit further. I’ve come up with a plan and just hope I don’t damage them in the process. 😅 They won’t be staying in their current pots for much longer. Soon they’ll be transplanted into 19-liter geotextile pots and given their dose of Biotabs to help them settle into their new home.

Kushycat I’d say they’ve really bounced back nicely after the water damage. They’re a little stretched out, but that’s okay. The spot where they were standing wasn’t exactly ideal, but my main goal was just for them to recover and look vibrant again—and that worked. Now they’re heading into the big setup, probably tomorrow. To get back on track, there’ll likely be a new update a bit earlier than usual since I’m running slightly behind. I’m happy for now, and it’s great to see them growing and thriving again. Now they can really get huge. I might supercropp all four of them. Somehow it feels like their growth is practically screaming for it.🙈🤣 What do you think—any other ideas? Topping is definitely going to happen either way.

Kushycat 🌱✨ I repotted the ladies’ group and, just like their older neighbor, fed them some BioTabs Guerilla Tabs. Each of the sisters 👯‍♀️ received about 3.5 tabs per 19 liters of fresh Terra Preta soil. Hopefully the soil won’t get too hot 🔥, but I stayed within the dosage recommended by BioTabs just to be on the safe side 👍. I also have some Guerilla Juice ?🌿 in the cupboard for future feedings, along with a few other goodies 🍽️😄. Yesterday, we had a severe storm ⛈️ with hail 🌨️ and all the usual drama, but they came through completely unscathed 💪🌱. Tomorrow they'll be moving once again 🚚, and after that they'll have a south-facing spot ☀️ with sunlight from morning until late afternoon. Hopefully they'll be very happy in their new home 🌿🏡.

Kushycat Hi everyone! 👋🌱 Sorry for the late update, but unfortunately I've had a lot on my plate lately. On top of that, I may have a fracture in my already injured foot. 😅 Hopefully I'll know more soon. Well... I finally found some time and, more importantly, the motivation to write an update again. To be honest, the whole situation has been pretty tough on me lately, and I've been struggling a bit mentally. But hey... life goes on somehow. 💚 Oh, and it looks like the woman is gone too, so I guess I'm single again. 😂🙈 Now to the important part! 🌿 As you can see, I think the girls are doing extremely well. They handled all the storms like absolute champions. 🌧️⛈️💪 I also had a small thrips infestation, but it was quickly taken care of with Spruzit Spray. It's environmentally friendly and doesn't harm bees or our other little garden friends, which is really important to me. 🐝🌼🍃 I always try to avoid harsh chemicals whenever possible. Technically, this is already Week 9, but I'm going to stick with my weekly update schedule and hopefully stay on track with a new update every seven days from now on. 🤞📅🌱 Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you're all having an amazing grow! 💚🌿

Kushycat Oh yeah, I'm late with the update again, but you guys already know how it goes... struggling every day. 😹 As you can see, the girls are doing pretty well. They were just a little thirsty when I took the pictures, and they're hungrier than I expected, so they've started eating themselves. I guess it's because I used a little less than the recommended BioTabs dosage. That's why I gave them some Guerilla Juice last Friday—see below. Normally, you feed it once a week, but if they're still this hungry after the last feeding, I'll give them another dose a day or two earlier. Other than that, I'm really happy with how they're doing. My brother and I also put new plastic sheeting on my little greenhouse. 😊 There's not much space left in there, though. If it gets too cramped, I'll move them to another spot or just place them next to the little greenhouse. 🌱💚

Kushycat Oh well, what can I say... a little late again. 😹 No more promises, but I'll at least try to stay on schedule this week. I've been pretty busy with my foot and my emotional life—you know how it is, same as always. My foot isn't broken, which is good, but it still hurts, which isn't. 😅 So, it's back to the doctor again. Yeah... it gets pretty boring after a while. Now, back to the main topic! To my great joy, I'm happy to announce that I somehow managed to join the BioTabs team! A huge and very heartfelt thank you to @Mia_BIOTABS for making this possible. 💚 The ladies in the small tent each got one more BioTab, placed about 5 cm deep into the soil, along with a little Myrco in a small hole, all watered in with Bactrex. Oh, and I also added some Silicon Flash as a top dressing. I still had some leftover soil from the last run, so I topped up the pots because the soil had settled again over time. The ladies are absolutely devouring the nutrients, so they can definitely use everything that's in there right now. They should be heading into bloom very soon—in fact, I'd say the first signs of pre-flower are already showing. 🌱🌸

Kushycat Hello, fellow plant lovers! 🌱😄 The journey continues—no reins, no rails... just rolling with it. xD We're now clearly in pre-flower mode, which makes me really happy. 🌸 The ladies are all getting pretty hungry, but the Sugar Black Rose is by far the hungriest of the bunch. 😅 At first, I wasn't planning on using Boom Boom Spray, but she's burning through nutrients so fast that I've decided to give her a dose—and while I'm at it, the other ladies in the little greenhouse will get some too. Shortly after that, they'll get a feeding with PK 13/14 together with some Guerilla Juice. My goal this year is to stay ahead of any nutrient deficiencies instead of chasing them later. Fingers crossed! 🤞🌱💚

Kushycat Hi everyone, Unfortunately, I’ve been having some issues with the site and haven’t been able to post any updates—sometimes I couldn’t even access the site. I think it has something to do with the updates. In the end, clearing my browser cache did the trick. If anyone else is having similar problems, this might be worth a try. But now, on to the actual topic, which is Weeeeed. 😁 Outdoor: Light distance: ~149.6 million km Light source: The big one in the sky 😂 So far this year, I’ve been a happy grower. If you disregard the minor teething problems I caused myself, there haven’t been any disasters or anything like that—unlike last year. The only issues were a few thrips at the beginning, when I moved the plants outside, and now another minor infestation. I used some Spruzit again, but that was the last time I’ll use it. It’s insect-friendly and pretty harmless, but I’d rather not have it on the flowers. Silicium Flash stopped the fading, and a few days ago I watered them with Bactrex. Yesterday, the girls got a little Guerrilla Juice. Flowering is now in full swing, and next week I’ll use my secret weapon: Bio PK 5-8. 😁 I’m really happy, and it’s good for my soul to spend some time with the girls and take care of them a bit. Happy growing, everyone! 🌱

@SundancerS, and me first ^^ As @MonyetDiablero already said, I have to think even more about Eleven from Stranger Things after the water damage, she had a hard time at the beginning too, but then! I really need to rewatch the first season, it's just amazing.

@SundancerS, Thx! Yeah, for sure. Autos can be put in the tent, but unfortunately the last two years have been rather hit or miss outside. Every time my autos went into flowering, the weather was bad – too much rain and not enough sun. Then came the rot and I had to harvest early. 😕🌧️🌿 It's definitely a risk, but that's why I'm consciously going for all Fast/Early Harvest varieties and hoping for a golden late summer!

@MonyetDiablero, Haha, I actually had to think of that show when I was planting them and writing on the little sign. If she turns out even half as great as the real Eleven, everything’s saved! Thank you! Unfortunately, I overwatered all four sisters 🙈Well, but they’re recovering and on the road to recovery🙏🏼. A little battered but brave—in a few days I’ll post an update and something new, but that’s a secret until then! All the best to you until then. 🍀🌞🐱‍

Kushycat commented2mo ago
@SundancerS, thank you very much! I hope so too, but I'm afraid to put them in the hardcore sun. It's really brutal 🏼‍♂️🌞 Are your ladies in there all day full blast?🍀🌊
SundancerS
SundancerS commented2mo ago
@Kushycat, Hi, they are in the sun with us from around 7:30 AM to about 4:00 PM. At noon, there’s 1 hour of shade from a nearby tree. When the plants are healthy and used to the sun, that’s not a problem. However, you should absolutely avoid letting them "run dry" in such a situation. That would be pure stress for the plant and could damage it quickly. Be careful, this doesn’t apply to the late or final flowering phase. Heat and too much sun can have a negative effect on the trichomes. In the worst case, they "evaporate.
Kushycat
Kushycat commented2mo ago
@SundancerS, it's really not normal at the moment. I'm currently really struggling with heat stress indoors. It's constantly about 31 °C in the tent, and my girls don't particularly like that. 🌱🔥 Maybe I really have to raid my account and buy the air conditioner earlier than planned. ❄️💸 By the way, I still haven't dared to move the girls in the garden. Maybe tomorrow. 😅🌿 It's just like with us humans: When you're already sitting outside in the sauna, you have to keep pouring water on it. 💧😂
