I've been keeping it in this unmodified grow tub. Watering it very lightly but keeping humidity up.


And here's a pink vein and bumble bee I just finished acclimating (along with a tobacco).
I About to pot all three in way bigger containers now that they're not restricted by the height of the tub.

I just watered them yesterday. I worked on spacing out their watering time over the past couple months. I figure they dont need it as often indoors compared to outdoors with proper sunlight.

True that. Ive kept my big bumble bee alive actually while i havent been here by accident. My cat kept digging up the soil so i place these granite slabs i have for my rock grown cacti on top of the soil. The water dpesnt evaporate as fast with them on top.

Stunning! Obviously you’re giving her what she needs. Well Done!

Is that from seed or a cutting? I’m considering buying some seed.
My poor plant survived the winter of my neglect and very arid indoor conditions. I’ll transplant her and get her into some humid fresh air outside and I’m sure she will take off.

Looks good bro.
Might be time for some nitrogen. Those top leaves arent greening well. Coffee grounds work wonders.

I agree. A feeding looks like it could help her out. Id start light though. Im not too experienced w coffee grounds, but several of the OG members, ferrel included, swear by it. I use jug nutes mostly myself, except for mixing in ammedments to the soil prior to a tranny. Looks good though. Idk if you have any micronutrients, like somethin w some iron, but that might help it along. The lower leaves are chlorotic, signifying a nitrogen def, yet nitrogen is mobile and typically shows symptoms in just the lower leaves. Whereas many of the micronutrient def, being immobile, show their symptoms in the newer leaves and the upper portion of the plant/branches. Looks similar to an iron def. perhaps a few others can chime in and maybe do a few google pic searches to further confirm, but it mght be worth looking into.
Are you growing organic or chem style? Mollases (unsulphured only) has a mild dose of mag, iron and potassium that would likely be well recieved by you baby as well as the bacterial colonies in her soil jungle but again, id start light. I dont typically like to give nutrient advice around here, because i never know who im talking to and just how they grow... as well as how they'll recieve it. If it were me though, id give it light kiss of micronutes, nitrogen and maybe potassium. If youre using RO water, then maybe some magnesium too. This is if you are using jug nutes mind you. If its a different style and more ammendment organic style, then mollases to start. But not much and not that often! Id start w 1tsp-1.5tsp per galon of water. Nothing more than once every two Weeks.
Happy growing. Sorry about the long post if youre using chem nutes though, omit the mollases. Its only really helpful if you have a rich bacterial colony in your soil.

It's a cutting I got from a vendor on IG. Same source I got my pink vein and bumble bee from. Really quality cuttings compared to the several others I had gotten and failed with previous times. He actually just sent me fresh hirsuta and javonica seeds. Fingers crossed they germinate.

Try the coffee grounds DGB. They work great. Its nevwr too late to pick up a coffee habit. Go black for better taste.

The aromatic strong black coffie is the best. Cant stand the diluted stuff that is more a tea than coffie.
If i don´t get a large dose of strong, coffeine loaded coffie in the morning i cant get off to work in time.

I stopped drinking coffee about a year ago and switched to yerba maté, no more jitters and the buzz is much more enjoyable. A lot healthier too. You guys should try it.

Yerba maté has a pleasant effect, indeed. Or you could just take a spoonful of Kratom in the morning.
