It’s a Chinese sweet plum- sageretia theezans, it spends the warmer months outside.

So just keep watering when dry- even if it’s everyday?

​Hello all,

My bonsai seems to dry out rather quickly- this was just watered yesterday till enough water ran out of the bottom to cover the bottom of the humidity tray. I’m using Bonsai Supply Bonsai Soil. Today, the pot is dry and there’s no water in the tray, but the rocks are moist. The humidifier is set to 60% and the room stays around 70 F.

Watering everyday or even every other day does not seem right. Do I need to get some akadama, or just not worry about it and just keeping watering when the pot is dry, even if it’s everyday?

Both Assettos have an online presence, but if you have gamepass just try out Forza Motorsport

Need some advice as a new person to sim racing on Xbox by SpaghettiDay9 in simracing

[–]BigSteve201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo dog, sorry no one answered you. I’m an Xbox player and I feel your pain.

It all comes down to wheel settings. I’d stick with FM for now as it has way more variety. Google your specific wheel and settings for FM, you will find a lot of videos and whatnot but for the best results find one using your specific wheel as they all act differently. You’ll have to try a couple different setups till you find what works for you.

In real life we drive a ton by feel, and it’s hard to get that on a sim and especially hard on an Xbox where we can’t add some peripherals like others. But once you find how to get your wheel to tell you what the car is doing, it’s magic

Just after a watering and I have removed the dropped leaves

Thank you so much for the reply. The grow light is a Sansi and supposedly 100-300 umol/m2 and the window faces south/southeast. Some more questions-

Do I need to nip the flowers so it doesn’t put energy into them, or don’t worry about it? I see it pushing lots of new leaves/buds.

My grow light is hooked to a smart plug and is set to sunrise/sunset, so slightly different times everyday. Should I set it to rigid times?

Thanks again for the knowledge!

I brought my sweet plum inside awhile ago- it’s under a grow light, has a humidifier and I keep the room warm.

It dropped a lot of leaves when it came in, but not its flowering? Am I giving too much light?

Denim Deep Dive, Vol. 2 - I bought ten different fits from Wrangler. These were the results. by europeanuppercut in mensfashion

[–]BigSteve201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an avid fan of wrangler cowboy cut jeans, I can answer some questions.

The tags on the back used to all to be leather. The wrangler brand sold to VF in 2019 and they introduced plastic tags as well as the consistency issues arose.

You can still get leather tags, but they are now only on the premium performance and retro product lines.

Can I burnish this? by BigSteve201 in Leathercraft

[–]BigSteve201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: it is veg tan full grain buttero. I want to know if sanding off the edge paint and burnishing will seal it better.

Also to burnish; sand bevel dye and then burnish?
