    That's actually a really good tip--wear temp tattoos before committing to the real thing.
    I wholeheartedly agree with the TC situation. Like I still don't understand why people are so upset about TC. From the grower's perspective, TC is excellent: you have the most control over the growth of your plant down to the molecular level, you literally can make anything thrive and adjust. Germinating seeds are so hard, people don't even know. And what we're doing with houseplants at home is pretty much tissue culturing, but at a bigger level--plant culturing. Houseplants are not "natural"; we aren't living outside in the rain forest. We intentionally brought plants indoors and acclimate them to our conditions. I really don't think you need to apologize at all for the situation.
    My heart goes out to you when you were talking about rainbow club. You've come so far and I'm so proud of you (even though I'm just a stranger on the Internet). I think how you've addressed it in the video is perfect. You don't need to wear the pride flag to be proud. And feel free to keep private. There will always be someone who wants to know all about your life, down to what positions you do in the bedroom, and that's not ok; that's a workplace sexual harassment question.
    In terms of horses and cats, I will def watch those (maybe you can get Ben to help film for you.

    ps- i was a vet tech for 5yrs + have a urinary issue kitty, if it's behavioral problems (they get stressed easily) try a few feliway optimum diffusers, maybe a scheduled playtime routine. it will also really help if kitty only eats wet food, dry kibble is super dehydrating + is a huge cause of urinary crystals/ bladder stones. my cat hasn't had urinary problems since i cut the kibble out. sending good kitty vibes!

    As far as im concerned, we should be grateful for TC! Done responsibly, as with your Delta Force, it enables plant lovers to have specimens that would otherwise not be accessible. When I see the consistency of a particular variety locally available, I know what I’m getting! However, that doesn’t necessarily mean I don’t want the plant. I appreciate your input for its honest perspective and realistic information. I think what you provide is uniquely valuable. And I admire the persistence and integrity and toughness you’ve displayed over the last few years. So thank you. And I hope you find a special pot of gold at the end of your rainbow.

    From someone in the vet industry, male cats are more prone to urinary issues so keep a close eye and involve your vet to ensure there are no serious issues. Also, you may want to consider consulting with a behaviorist to ensure that there's no reason why he can't use the litter box. Sometimes cats are not scared of the area, need another box in another area, or otherwise unhappy with the litter box situation. Sometimes it's easy to overlook issues accidentally :)

      My mom has always been a cat collector, but she’s so bad about caring for them 😭 Yesterday at Thanksgiving dinner she says her male cat might have a UTI because he’s been peeing in the house for months. Poor guy! I asked if she was taking him to the vet and she said no! 😖 It drives me insane. My partner and I have two elderly disabled cats. I can’t just go and take him to my place. It’s not fair to my cats and it would dig into their vet fund. But I can’t just let him suffer. He’s such a sweet boy, he’s just very scaredy 🥺 But he’s not the youngest anymore so she doesn’t care about him 😣 It’s awful! He could probably be perfectly happy if he had an home where he felt safe and regular vet care

    I really am quite disappointed about the Delta Force. Not that it's TC but the fact it was not labelled as such in the shop. I thought I would get a cutting of the motherplant. For me it was risky buying outside EU and it did go wrong with the shipping company (I still have ongoing issues with them about this shipment). Gladly I got a replacement. But it was very, very much money for me (about 1k€) and if I knew it was TC'ed, I would have waited for other shops to be ready inside EU as they are soo much cheaper now. I trusted the transparency of you and your shop and just wished you would be clearer.

The happiness shone through when you talked about your tattoo plans and the rainbow club, and I love that so so much for you!

    You do you, Kaylee Ellen, whatever works, as you say, if no one is hurt. I got my first tattoo when I turned 50, a few years ago. (of a Celtic cat). I have three others, each very special, to honour my father who died of dementia, and bees and flowers, and my son and d-i-l's initials, and my late spouse...another one of rainbow cats, and one of a rainbow dragon which was my response to getting cancer in 2020. (all is well). In the winter, I lost my heart kitty, and for Christmas I am giving myself a tattoo of his paw, in rainbow watercolour technique, partly because it's also a...landmark birth year for me. I so enjoy listening to you and watching you talk about plants, or cats, or horses, or tattoos, or whatever else!

    Hearing what you have been through just makes me like your channel more. One planty question for anyone who can answer: can TC plants reproduce via seed? Might sound basic but I have the hardest time finding the answer.

    Yes, clarify if TC or not. I don't care either way, but nice to know. Esp probably for those who do care.
    Live your life! Find and do what makes YOU happy. I'm in my 40's & it seems we just become more accepting and less giving a shit about what others think of us as we get older. As you say, life is short. Congrats on taking the time & initiative to find out who you are today. ❤

    I am one of the people that was upset with the delta force tc. Do not get me wrong, I don't have anything against tc, but I have a problem with a delta force tc, because is such a difficult plant to propagate and to get a true delta force....and considering your transparency so far, that was a bit disappointing. Hopefully it will look like a true delta force.
    Anyway, have a great weekend and keep up the good work!

  • @torquess454

    Tattoos are so personal, I’ve got some that have incredible meaning, and others I just loved the art itself. I feel it’s a part of my personality, I do believe it’s like “self care” as well. They’re not cheap, so spending that kind of money on yourself is treating yourself I believe, celebrating yourself. Love it great advice about using temp tattoos first, tatts are permanent, make sure it’s not on a whim or something super trendy that will go out of style and you’ll think it a mistake after. My stepson got something super personal to uplift himself to strive for better over his self harm cutting scars. I thought that was great
    My mom was almost supportive of my exploring myself, bright coloured hair, piercings, she signed for my first tattoo at 18 I’d been bugging her since 14 lol she’s just shake her head and smile lol but absolutely nothing at all wrong with waiting to alternate your body, I don’t believe teens should physically transition either with parents permission. There’s a limit, what if when they turn 20 they’ve realized their mistake? Sigh
    Thank God you’re starting to live for yourself, not everyone can or does, and still young enough to enjoy it! I never wanted to get married and have kids, still no kids but because I wasn’t looking, I found my soulmate, I didn’t spend years trying to work on relationships that weren’t right for me, I worked on myself, made money, explored the world, sorry, the longer the video, the more I respond, lol

    I'm 33 and only recently upgraded my Rainbow Club membership too. I can't be open with my family so it's still a struggle but I just couldn't feel like I'm living someone else's life or playing a part of some other person any more. I regret not coming to this point earlier, but better late than never. All the love and support to you!
    Ive subscribed for the plants, but I stayed for you, I've lost interest in plants now but I still enjoy you. Would definitely like to hear more personal things here or on the other channel. Horse or cats or any other stuff you want to share, like you've talked about invisalign some time ago I liked that too.

    I know this is from months ago but, I am only watching it now - so likely this won’t be seen. However, I wanted to say how incredible it is to hear you talking about how you turned a corner to live your life as you always should have 🖤 this is how all life should be lived! I know it takes some of us longer than others, but it’s just as important and amazing. Especially when it’s fearful, awkward, difficult etc., we should be nothing but our authentic self in my opinion. We only have this life! I’m just happy to hear of you embracing this and I can only hope you’ve continued to even more so 🖤. Being newer to your channel and bouncing around older and newer videos - I could already recognize this transformation - and I very much enjoy this version 🖤 the no fucks given, the rad merch, the swearing etc. it all suits me perfectly. And bonus - I knew of the 🏳️‍🌈 from a different video and it’s what made me enjoy you more! Being a member myself, I couldn’t ever get enough of fellow members in influence - especially females! So even if you lost followers, you could only gain better ones! And ever so lastly - I could also recognize the scars understanding this same path myself. I’m glad you generally wear them without bother and I was happy to see they were just out (another thing that made me enjoy you more!) - though I’d never say your arm(s) are ruined! As is with any other scar internal and external, they hold a piece of us that we’ve grown from. I personally mostly wear mine out proud as hey, yeah, they’re there - and I fought through that period in my life and I’m proud and not ashamed it’s reflected on my body. Any others are also covered in ink. Continue being this awesome version of yourself and keep blooming from it 🖤.

My parents are also against tattoos/piercings, but it makes me feel like more of myself having them. I’m almost 26 for reference lol. Glad to hear that things are going better for you! Keep having your teenage rebellion! You’ve probably worked to heal your inner child & now you’re healing that inner teen. Live for yourself always, even when it’s difficult💜 I also just took my first step to upgrading my rainbow membership last week! Good for us for self discovery✨

    Feel you so much with this teenage 2.0 in my 30s. Finally got my job right, got mental health checked and treated - turns out I was not a lazy piece of crap, what are the odds. Doing my teenage hobbies which were "forbidden", color my hair, do makeup, live my best life.
    With rainbow club membership though things are a bit tricky - I find myself married at this point. This kind of membership works for me as well, so rainbow club one's upgrade I guess is a bit postponed.

    HORSE // I'm genuinely so happy for you, it's great to see you get better 💜 // Regarding the TC: I think people expected seed-grown ones because you showed the pollinated flower at some point. Personally I'd put it as a note in the description just to avoid people getting mad over it
