This is the bud I am scared to breathe on

It's a bit early to tell, I guess... but I keep my in hoping I can grow masdy in Colorado..............against all odds....


This is a first bud for me. Spike started in my care......

I am growing my masdies in my bathroom where I have an entire wall of a window facing North. I keep my bath filled with water (which actually doesn't do much for humidity...). Every morning they get a short boost of humidity with my shower (it gets to 80%), but most of the time it's not getting higher than 50%. I am misting once in a while....


I find it interesting how this spike took a sharp 90 degrees turn.
You can see two more spikes with buds......

fingers crossed for you. Looks like that first one should make it to blooming. Be sure to post pictures when it does.

Looks like its as good as there now, as long as nothing drastic goes on. Which I KNOW you will not allow
Good Growing,
Tony

Looks good I have noticed that masdies love a good misting. Can't wait to see it bloom.
