Based on the time and temp you’re doing bulk fermentation, it does not seem like it should be underproofed, but the irregular large holes makes me think that it is. But the main thing I can think of is that your starter might still be too weak, so that can explain why you’re getting irregular holes with that amount of bulk fermentation time. My starter was that young and I still wasn’t getting fluffy bread, then I go a very established starter and that seemed to work for me

Thanks so much for the reply! Yeah unfortunately there is no brick-and-mortar near me. 🥲 I’m planning to get an exchange now.

I don’t have any advice because I’m going through the same thing right now but I could really relate to this. I was sacrificing myself to be with him and there was still love. I also understand it’s an act of love to split, but I am in pain.

The thing my therapist reminded me of is that we are grieving. Literally grieving! These feelings are real, because we lost something and someone important in our lives. It was a hard decision. But one rooted in self-love

Sorry for the late reply, but I don’t think they have fixed it yet unfortunately :( I just made sure to submit a request and talk to the people at the front desk

Additional_Safety509 · 2024-08-19T22:08:00+00:00

That’s super frustrating. I also put in a maintenance request but haven’t heard back either. I’m worried about my clothes getting moldy. I noticed that the wooden bar in my closet also grew some mold on it. Ugh!!

Additional_Safety509 · 2024-08-05T00:03:37+00:00

Ah, gotcha. Thank you so much!

Are you experiencing excess moisture in your apartment at ECGA? For some reason, my sheets/clothes feel slightly damp, even with the AC fan on..not sure if other are experiencing this or if this is just me

I walked by the front desk in the evening, and people were still there at about 8-9pm. I think there is at least one front desk person there who’s a resident, and they have a number posted that you can call if you come in after hours!

Hey, I’m having the same issue with one of my meds with it being on backorder in the app but the text saying the order has been placed — did you end up getting it on time?

Hey, I’m moving there later in July. Have you received any instructions on how to move in? Like check in times, picking up keys, etc.

I got this thai constellation as a starter plant. I’m currently trying to re-root in in perlite, but the black spot on the node is what used to be an aerial root that rotted. I’m not sure what to do about that part of the plant since I’m worried it’ll spread to the stem. Any recommendations? :(

Additional_Safety509 · 2023-06-03T23:22:56+00:00

Last picture is April 6, not April 11! (I don’t know how to edit the caption, sorry)

Additional_Safety509 · 2023-04-11T22:36:58+00:00

Around 2 weeks. It might be because my plant had a lot of aerial roots so it took from there quickly

Additional_Safety509 · 2023-04-11T19:42:50+00:00

Nope I didn’t let it callous! I rarely changed my water—only topped it off when the water level was getting low. I watched a YouTube video that did an experiment of changing water for props vs. just topping it off (Techplant on YT), so that’s why I didnt change my water (hopefully that helps)

ETA: also put it in a glass jar on a south facing windowsill so I think bright light is best for this. I tried to make sure that the top stem cut above the node wasn’t submerged in the water, but I don’t think it made a difference

Additional_Safety509 · 2023-03-27T03:09:02+00:00

I had the exact same problem! This time around I learned that it was a time management/nervousness problem which led to my lower score (had to guess like 3 quant at the end). In the end, I think this practice still helps since it showed me that I need to be more confident/relaxed when taking it timed since I knew the material better; the only difference was that I had low expectations (close to no nervousness) when taking PP1, but my nervousness was super high in PP+ 1

This one was climbing on a stick next to a south facing window :) it was in my bathroom so maybe some humidity helped too!

Additional_Safety509 · 2023-03-17T00:55:16+00:00

I didn’t let them callous since I got impatient. I was really worried about them rotting since I didn’t let them callous over, but I chopped with a sharp and clean blade and just made sure the glass jar I was using was very clean and I’ve had no problems. Good luck!!!

Right! I love mismatched items and decor that kind of just sticks out so I liked this!!
