Cadillac Rainbow: Day 33 of 75. She’s definitely switched to flowering mode! 💃💃💃 I did not want to retie her today, but she needed feeding. She was given 1.5 TBSP of Gaia Green 4-4-4, Power Bloom, worm castings and watered with molasses.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 32 of 75. Today was the first time she didn’t need all of her LST retied. I cleaned up her leaves by tucking them out of the way and trimming the ones blocking bud sites.

Holy smokes! I just used the Mighty Plus for the first time. I feel like I was getting 1/3 of the experience with the POTV Lobo. If you are on the fence about upgrading just do it. The Mighty plus is indescribably better in every way.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 31 of 75. Holly and I rocked out to 80s music while I retied her LST and tucked leaves. I don’t know if she liked it, but I had fun! Left photo is before adjusting LST and right photo is after adjusting LST.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 30 of 75. She’s doing so good with LST! I’m excited! I readjusted her ties and tucked leaves. Left picture is before retying LST, middle picture is after, and the right picture is a close up after readjusting and leaf tucking.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 29 of 75. Her side branches were long enough to tie down and let more light penetrate her canopy. Left photo is before adjusting LST and right after.

She looks great!

I think it’s funny no one ever shows pictures of the top of their bent stem. It’s always the underside. To be fair it does look rather silly.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 28 of 75. I trimmed leaves that were touching dirt, rearranged and added more LST, (Before & after pictures below.) and watered with tap water 6.5pH treated with Seachem Prime & Recharge.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 26 of 75. Leaf tucking was easier today because her under bush exploded after LST! I had so much fun messing with her leaves. Tried to take a before and after but I already adjusted her LST when I remembered to take a photo.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 25 of 75. It’s an exciting day!! She’s finally tall enough for LST! It’s so hard to resist trimming the big fan leaves block new growth.

I went to Inos Tacos in La Grange Park, IL yesterday. The place is 100% gluten free and delicious. Everything there is made from scratch. They started serving these giant burritos! The tortilla was incredibly flavorful. It reminded me of the outer shell of a taco salad.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 21 of 75. I decided to do a tiny bit of LST. I used a plant twist tie to gently bend her main stem over.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 20 of 75. Her leaves are huge! The three finger leaves are almost the size of my hands! She’s got a little bit of nutrient burn, but otherwise healthy. 🙂

The different color lenses are for different light spectrums. For full spectrum lights you need the gray ones. Those are $80.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 19 of 75. It’s super dry in IL (35% RH) and the humidifier is struggling to keep the tent at 60%. It’s a good thing she’s out of her seedling phase!
