The weather took a complete turn this week, bringing cooler temperatures and a few rounds of rain. To keep those precious buds safe from direct moisture, I kept her under a roof outside. The humidity spiked a few times due to the rain, but luckily it cleared up quickly enough each time without staying damp for too long.
Honestly, this plant is just an absolute joy to cultivate—she is making this outdoor run so much fun!
Bud & Color Update:
Those purple buds are becoming more beautiful with every passing day. The contrast of the colors out in the natural light is just breathtaking. As expected, she is taking her time and will definitely need to run a bit longer than the Black Orchid Auto to fully ripen, but I am more than happy to wait when the results look this good.
Don't forget to swing by the Black Orchid Auto diary on my profile to see how close she is getting to harvest!
