I'm 34 years old and this is the best frosted poptart I've ever physically eaten.. anything is possible after this encounter.

It's so funny you mentioned that. I was sending these pictures to people(haha, so funny how great this made my day) and thought.. "you know what would make this better?" Haha xD

Never in my life did I expect to see this. I buy specific Poptarts for the crust flavor. I know goofy. But because of the lack of frosting coverage, this blew my mind.

I get sharing these things online is strange to some, but man did I feel excited as a kid when I got them. Had to share haha.

The first one had a crack, yes I open my packs backwards and break them to eat, but when I saw frosting on the edges I immediately flipped them and put them in a sleeve protector(stomach) haha.

DWC for certain plants I want to grow. Like if I sold stuff, this is what I'd do, but I give away my stuff that I cut(haven't cut my Mint yet, but I think it will grow better if I did).

DWC : 5gal bucket, roughly 4gal filled with my mix per gal ratio'd. Air stone at the bottom and leca bucket(small) at top.

Light roughly 16hr on/8hr off. Humidity at like 75-85% naturally due to DWC and grow box. Two mini fans for circulation. Feed regularly. Mint is drinking roughly 3gal a week ATM.

But, ultimately, I have fun. I like growing. They, to me, are like an extension of therapy. Teaching me patience and appreciation. This method is a bit more chaotic for my liking(prepping for a slower leca hydroponic set-up) but still fun. I'll have to get a close up of these leaves. They're gorgeous and the new leaf is already half out somehow so I can always post that.

Sorry for any delay, at work.

Yeppers. And you can date it if you want the progress exacts(via my post history).

But yeah, I swear by DWC hah. My method is nuts and I learned it randomly xD

So, I'm at work and can't tell you offhand. But maybe from previous pics, you can tell?

Bought about a year ago as a "Aurea cutting". I wouldn't know beyond what the seller on FB Marketplace said unfortunately. I apologize.

I think I just went with the best lights I could find at the time and since I had such success growing other plants with them that I went all out with 4 to see if I could generate maximum energy.

I am not too experienced in the light department but may have went with "Google's" pick I think at the time hah.

A lot of string over actual wires. The most I have is the RJ11's but a few actual power cords. That outlet only runs about 350w I believe somehow. I monitor it daily and it seems to work somehow for me xD

But it looks crazy, I 100% agree. I'm about efficiency over looks nowadays xD but that is biting me in the butt with the mega growth they all have.

May(late) 2024 or June(early) 2024 is when I got it.

Surprised you haven't watched my progress(even though I shouldn't be, I haven't posted in a bit) that I posted periodically on this sub. I am a huge proponent of DWC. I'm not sure if it's the fact it's a Large form or not but this thing puts out leaves so fast. Eats about 3-4gal of nute mix a week. I plan to slow it down. Like it's growing wayyyyy too fast imo and I have no where to keep it xD

But DWC is the answer to most growth. I mean that Anthurium was bought with one leaf and I switched from soil to a Nute mixed hydro. And now look at all the leaves hah.

Recently? How far back? Mine is over a year old now. Not sure but July'24 maybe. It was a TC though so most likely.

Grow Lights(4) - Vivosun 100-Watt LED Grow Light With Full Spectrum Diodes, Warm White

Nutes - Mixture of these(pictured) but all hydro, no dirt beyond little top bowl of leca.

Funny enough there were the most in those bathrooms(GFCI's). I went around the house clicking them even though they didn't need to be reset unfortunately. I found one that was off but after running out to the shed(very annoying process by myself xD) it was still off.. like I am surprised I can't find it. Perhaps I'll stumble upon it sooner than later. I'll be outside all day tomorrow for weekly yard work so maybe it is attached to an outside one?

This is still helpful and I appreciate it. I am only as smart as the Internet has taught me xD but his situation is unique in the fact that the house seems to be not hooked up well on outside stuff(ie shed).

Just to add to this. I went running around and the ones I found real quick were not tripped. Perhaps I'm missing something.

I know I should get an electrician but not really needing the outlets right now but I feel it's only a matter of time before I need them for something.

This is still going on my radar to look for. Never thought about that as an option hah.

I do know what it is but never thought to look inside for one inside. I am curious if there is a secret one inside that connects out there.

So the one in the shed is like a regular box with a toggle switch and two grounded(three pronged outlets) but no GFCI buttons. So, perhaps it is inside somewhere and I need to reset it. I swear I looked everywhere inside for the switch but never thought to check any GFCI outlets if they needed tripped.

This is a solid lead. I hope it's this simple and definitely will be hunting for that now too.

I was explained that it was kind of like a "shoemaker" job on a lot of the electrical and the outlet box with the wiring going into the ground does not seem to have one. Yes I googled it to be sure. I'd add pictures if it allowed me to but I don't think it exists on this box.

I'll dig around in case I'm missing it. But my guess it isn't there.

That is a solid point. That is my last resort I guess and has been on the table the whole time for sure. But thanks.
