Luzid Mendo Crème Dream 🍦😺

Kushycat There isn't much to report yet, as you can see. They took their time soaking up water before finally cracking open. They're now in the tent, and the lamp is running at 40% power on an 18-hour schedule. Tomorrow I'll turn on the humidifier and let nature take its course. One exciting change for future grows is that I'll be generating my own electricity to power them. Since they're still small and stretched a bit despite being kept in a bright spot, I've given them some support with stakes. Their stems are already strong enough to hold themselves up, but I'd rather not take any chances. I've also engineered a high-performance watering device to prevent the kind of water-related disasters I've managed to create in previous grows. See the pictures for this cutting-edge technology. xD

Kushycat Hi, I'm a little late with this update because I haven't been feeling very well lately. The little ones seem to be doing fine so far. 🌱 I've been careful with watering. I haven't weighed the pots, but I've started to get a feel for whether they're dry or can wait another day. I was wondering why they were growing so slowly. At first I thought it might be because I left them on the balcony for the first two days since the weather was nice. I figured a little sunshine wouldn't hurt at the start. ☀️ After comparing them, I realized the lamp was hanging a bit too high. It's running at 40% power and is now about 70 cm above the plants after I adjusted it. I'll probably switch on the second lamp in the next few days and lower them a little more. How low would you go at this stage? They seem much happier now, and I've definitely noticed better growth since adjusting the light. I'm taking it easy this run. This time I have the luxury of playing Mother Nature myself and deciding when the flowers start to bloom. 😄🌿

Kushycat Another week has passed 🌱 Everything is fine, but I’m dealing with a few fungus gnats ?. Only a small number, but I want to get rid of them early. I know most growers end up with them at some point, but I’d rather not let them settle in and multiply. I’ve set up yellow sticky traps ? and will add neem oil at the next watering 🌿. Growth has picked up noticeably 🌿✨, but I’m still running the light at 40% power. It’s brutally hot outside ☀️, and the tent is already sitting at around 31°C 🔥. I’ll switch on the activated carbon filter now, and if everything goes to plan, there should be a small air conditioner in the grow space by the end of the month ❄️. I topped the plants ✂️🌱, and just a day later I can already see the first tiny signs of new upward growth. They’re very vigorous 💪🌿 and gently swaying in the fan’s airflow 🌬️. I’m still watering carefully 💧, but I can tell they’re getting thirstier now—partly because of the heat ☀️ and partly because their growth has really taken off 🚀🌱

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! 🌿 It has been extremely hot in the tent, and I still haven't bought an air conditioner. The girls handled the heat surprisingly well, but they've barely grown over the past few days. It was a constant balancing act between keeping the nighttime temperatures as low as possible and maintaining decent relative humidity. 🌡️ I managed to get rid of the fungus gnats with neem oil, although I think I was a little too generous with the dosage, which caused some minor leaf damage. 😅🍃 Luckily, it wasn't anything serious, and they're already recovering nicely from the heat stress and the neem treatment. I'll definitely keep them in the vegetative stage a little longer. More hot weather is on the way, and I'd like them to grow a bit bigger before flipping them to flower. 🌱☀️ They should move into their final 12-liter Air-Pots within the next few days. Technically, this is already Week 5, 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, it was definitely time to repot the girls. While they were still in their little pots, I had some Guerilla Juice left over from my outdoor plants, but it only helped them a little. I planted all the girls a bit deeper because I want them to get used to their new home first. Then I'll turn them into some nice little bushes before they start flowering. 🌱😄 I think they'll root in over the next few days and recover from the nutrient deficiency and everything else. Fingers crossed! 🤞💚

Kushycat Oh well, what can I say... 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 rollercoaster—you know how it is, same old story. My foot isn't broken, which is good, but it still hurts, which isn't. 😅 So... back to the doctor I go. It's getting a bit boring at this point, I know. Now, back to the main topic! As you could see in my last update, I repotted the ladies, and they seem to love their new home. They've settled in nicely, and I'm really happy with how they're doing so far. I'm also excited to share that I've somehow managed to become part of the BioTabs team! A huge and heartfelt thank you to @Mia_BIOTABS for making that possible. 💚 Since the soil is fresh and already lightly pre-fertilized, I didn't add any Tabs yet—just Mycotrex and Bactrex. In the near future, I'll top-dress with some silica and add a BioTab to the soil. I figured that would be a good way to prepare them for the transition into flowering. I've also done a few rounds of topping, trimming, and a bit of plant bondage. 😹 I'm already really happy with how they're looking, but they still need a little more time to grow. I think another 3–4 weeks of veg should do the trick. 🌱
