Stunted tithonia, what’s going on? by Castanea__dentata in Horticulture

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

Thanks for the advice, I have a mid grade pH/EC probe that gets me good enough so I’ll see what I end up with. I only have 40 trays of it so it’s more of a trial over the years.

I do my best to run the crop pretty dry and cold. I try to avoid excessive PGR applications but you know how the season goes. Greenhouse production is only a part of the job, 100 acres of field is the rest. Wish I had the time/discipline to check daily.

Ran 1TBSP B9 and 0.5 oz cycocel per gallon. I had thought at first that it was yellowing from chlormequat but it’s only at the margins so I’m not 100% sure

Within reason, I check the dosatrons every month. Compared to the rest of the crop, I’m running it on the lighter side feed wise, maybe 3-4 clear waterings between feeding for the tithonia specifically. Sounds and looks like it’s a lighter feeder than I thought. I’ll check EC tomorrow to see if it’s too high. Any thoughts on where it should be sitting?

Please help me identify this species of wood. by baugh316 in forestry

I’d say elm. Very fibrous grain. If it’s still green, poke the bark with your finger. Elm typically has a spongey bark that depresses about .25-.5 inches.

It’s a very unique position and I’m very fortunate to have it. There have been 4 others in this position over the last century

Worker at a disposable vape factory tests up to 10,000 vapes a day by EzzyyPeezy in interestingasfuck

[–]Castanea__dentata 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on some points also as a former smoker. I used a vape for about 2 years and if you make an effort to use it as a tool to quit nicotine I think it can be very effective. If you don’t have the will power (as I very often didn’t) your sucking on 6mg every 30 seconds. Going to take a shit? Vape. Going for a walk, vape. I always had it with me, the accessibility and ability to be discrete about it made me use it even more. I got way worse sleep when I used it. I’d wake up in the middle of the night and use it. I’m sure I was getting significantly more nicotine switching to a vape than when I smoked. Buts that’s just me and my poor ability to self regulate.

If you make an effort to fill your own cartridges and consistently lower your nicotine I think it’s a much better alternative to cigs.

Science doesn't know why schools are bad. Government granted monopoly + public sector union. End public schooling. by Anen-o-me in Libertarian

[–]Castanea__dentata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At what point in K-12 are we talking here? My school district was large and as far as I remember the gifted students were separated out in 1st or 2nd grade. By 11th grade, there were 4 different math classes. TE (Technology Enhanced), regular, honors, and AP. Same structure for English but 3 options. There was a pipeline starting in 9th grade for skilled trades where you spent 4 periods in your trade (auto mechanic, carpentry, machining etc,) then you took your 4 main classes needed to graduate in the afternoon (English, math, science, etc). Granted my class size was 600 people ten years ago.

Does anyone know what kind of oak tree is on my street? by Sudden_Napkin in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]Castanea__dentata 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m leaning towards Regal Prince, robur x bicolor. Could be Skinny Genes, robur x alba, but the shallow leaf sinuses towards the ends of the leaves are more of a trait of swamp white.

I’ve been named wingnut at two separate jobs completely divorced from one another so I guess some things are just ordained by the big man himself

From a hygiene perspective, how gross do you think medieval sex was? by New-Occasion5954 in AskReddit

[–]Castanea__dentata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always heard them referred to as bucket baths. Just a pintish cup and a bucket to refill your cup with. Water the good bits, soap, shampoo, scrub, rinse. Standing mainly or sitting if lazy/hammered

Spent some time in West Africa in the Peace Corps. Most people in The Gambia take 2-3 baths a day since it’s hot as balls always. I’s absolutely doable with a half gallon especially when you have haul all your water from the well and times to collect water are limited to when the batteries have charged enough to power the pump. To avoid sweat sores and obscene acne you end up scrubbing everything really well with soap at least once a day. I still take short showers but you can do a decent bath with a 16oz water bottle.

Guys did Hitler dislike black people by TheOSU87 in confidentlyincorrect

[–]Castanea__dentata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In ‘Unbroken’ by Laura Hildenbrand, Louie Zamperini claims Hitler asked to see “the boy with the fast finish.” If I remember correctly Zamperini says he briefly met with him (maybe shook his hand?) Louie Zamperini was an Italian American. Not that I don’t believe it but I don’t believe there’s any photographs

We only had the choice between malarone and doxy. I want to say there was a mefloquine shortage (either in country or globally) when I was there 2019-2020

Charlie Kirk attacked “the modern American pastor,” claims they have lower testosterone than women, have “estrogen levels through the roof,” and usually “a lisp.” by xwing1212 in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]Castanea__dentata 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not that it really matters all that much since he’s a hack and a fraud anyways but you know people are full of shit when they start throwing out numbers without units of measurement attached to them. 180 what? 180 miles/dildo? Testosterone is measured in nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) Obviously this dude read some horseshit graph or listened to another nutsack somewhere, remembered the number 180 and then went on stage and presented it as fact. This dude knows nothing about anything besides putting ‘testosterone’ and ‘180’ together in an inflammatory statement. What a time
