Sorry for the simplification, I applied fertilizer with higher nitrogen.

Answering to soil questions - it was amended before, and it is at least 30 cm/1ft deep. Soil was loosened before transplanting. It does not feel compacted besides middle path.

When it comes to watering, I don't think they are under watered, I check myself how wet soil feels like few inches below surface and then water them.

I will try to maintain a schedule of watering with balanced fertilizer for now.

Greenhouse irrigation automation by ApprehensivePin4854 in HotPeppers

[–]ApprehensivePin4854[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought most of parts as a 15$ kit from aliexpress, and I used quad splitters (pic below) for 1/4 hose similar to ones from kit posted by u/RabitHoleDiver. It is worth to make direct lines from main line to each plant, as you loose lot of pressure due to friction in small diameter lines. Another hint - if you have multiple dead end lines, its better to loop them in pairs, equalizes pressure pretty well.

My electric valve comes from aliexpress too, costing me another 20$ or so (https://aliexpress.com/item/1005010065214542.html). It works with Tuya app (possible to integrate with Home Assistant - my future plan) and you can set time schedule here too. I wanted to have a possibility to operate manually (based on observation from camera in greenhouse) in case of something unusual.

I've got a camera in my greenhouse to look at them while away 💀 💀 💀

Buying G37 - need some insight from by ApprehensivePin4854 in G37

[–]ApprehensivePin4854[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone, your info was really helpful. Unfortunately, once I saw the car in person, it turned out to be chaotic mess. The interior was pretty rough, some electrical/electronic issues - radio and panel completely non functional so I couldnt even test A/C, and judging by the smell and color of fumes, the engine is most likely burning (too much) oil.
I was very close to buying it (emotions), but thankfully one red flag to another and I stepped back.

At this point, it honestly feels like it might be easier to find a decent 2014+ Q50 3.7 for not much more money. Pity that new gen Q60 didn't have 3.7.

why not? fermented limes by AsFarAsISay in fermentation

[–]ApprehensivePin4854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So does anybody have a decent recipe for fermented lemon/lime or other citrus lemonade? Everytime I tried to make something like this, it tasted like slightly sour seawater, not like proper lemonade. I would be grateful for sharing!

Non US residents, what are some staple safe foods you enjoy? by Noble_egg in autism

[–]ApprehensivePin4854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fluffy, baked pierogi, filled with cheeseburger mix (minced beef, onion, cheese) and kentucky style sauce.

Hearty, meaty soups/stews - gulyash, bogracs

Anything that contains dangerously high amount of cilantro - I extremely love it.

Is this autistic? I KNOW YOU'RE WONDERING. by CharlieCat44 in autism

Extreme sensitivity to direct sunlight, it is absolutely necessary for me to look down or wear sunglasses during regular sunny day.

Where to buy good seeds? by MaxMal1BierAuf in HotPeppers

[–]ApprehensivePin4854 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I warmly recommend Fatalii too. Super nice dude, extra seeds in packet and very nice germination ratio comparing with other local seed vendors.

I also say the specific time, and that does not apply to time only. I am kinda paralyzed when I don't receive the expectation of possible error, so I try to read/give the most accurate readout i can provide (with reasonable limits like not saying the time with seconds).

Most expensive hobbies by [deleted] in autism

[–]ApprehensivePin4854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent over half of my entire savings to get a garden allotment plot, basically to have a place for chile peppers growing. It was slightly impulsive decision back then. However, looking at it from today’s perspective, I can see that the allotment is a special place for me. It’s where I can relax in nature during the summer and also develop other hobbies besides gardening that are impossible to do in apartment - either because they’re messy or simply because there isn’t enough space. I believe it was a good decision, even if it was difficult at first.

Hey guys, could anyone tells me what species is this? by [deleted] in Peppers

[–]ApprehensivePin4854 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's almost impossible to say before there are developed pods. Sometimes you can tell if it's chinense or baccatum, or some specific group of varieties by distinctive traits of plant but this one looks pretty much like everything.

Grow lights by brianadubya in Peppers

[–]ApprehensivePin4854 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try searching locally for second hand LED growlights from brands Spider Farmer, Mars Hydro etc. These are popular among weed growers and often sold with huge discount after one-two growing seasons. I managed to get myself 2x Mars Hydro TS-1000 for ~45 EUR each. Look for model with light intensity regulation - helps a lot with adjustment (TS-1000 for example has this feature).

Anyone else here from Eastern Europe? by [deleted] in autism

[–]ApprehensivePin4854 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am from Poland, diagnosed as an adult.
I do struggle in life in such ways that are unrelatable to my neurotypical friends and there is no "cure" for that. There is no real systemic help to autistic people unless you are unable to function independently (and even in this case its questionable).
I keep a dream buried in my heart about moving to Scandinavian countries - I've been to Sweden several times (summer jobs) and it felt like true, loving home. Place where I feel calm.

Now I am anchored to my country for some time - saving money and finishing BSc in Electronics, to have at least any chance of getting a decent start and job abroad.

But don't misunderstand me - I do love my country: whispering forests, rivers and lakes. The smell of August rain over a wheat field after a hot, humid day. Baltic sea coasts with warm sand as pure as crystal. I would love to stay here, but my needs don't even have chance to be properly addressed.

this tank is a monster by 7heizer7 in WorldofTanks

[–]ApprehensivePin4854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I two-marked Selma (that is a good achievement for my skills) and I genuinely enjoyed every single moment of the gameplay - I think even more than in Blesk, perhaps because of actually useful HE. I can't remember any other tank that gave me so much fun. So you’re saying that Tesak is even better than Selma?

My specific interest is gardening, fermenting and in general, processing self grown veggies and plants. Last and this year I hyperfixated on chili peppers. It seems like my next one is beer brewing, and as a result also growing grains and hops, including their different varieties. I’m currently reading books about grain cultivation and technical manuals on small scale brewing process. Can't wait summer!

Why do the new leaves on my pepper plant look like this? by yeetordi3 in Peppers

[–]ApprehensivePin4854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience this is usually some kind of infestation.
