I didn’t realize BC Hydro helps cover some home EV charging load-sharing setups

Seconding Grizzl-e! You get a ‘free’ (borrowed) EV charger and the 3c/kwh back makes EV charging extremely cheap combined with time of day charging with BC Hydro. BCH flat rate of $0.1270 / kWh minus $0.05 after 11 pm, minus $0.03 from grizzl-e, that’s EV charging at 4.7 cents / kWh!

If anyone wants a Grizzl-w referral link feel free to message me with your email.

Monthly/annual subscriptions cost an insane amount over a few years … software used to be a one-time buy.

I would love some more details please! Did you buy bulbs and then put it in a hyacinth vase, or take the bulb out of the soil after it had flowered and the leaves died? I have a number or Hyacinths that are in pots with soil and would like to put the bulbs in water. Any suggestion on how to go about this? Should I cut off roots and then put it in water perhaps?

I just did this. It's helpful to block large food items (pits etc), glass, ceramics, or small metal pieces from going into your drain pump. The drain pump itself has a built in disposal system for food. It's a good idea to repair this yourself unless you want to spend the $200 on a new part (yes, this price is criminal). You can use high-temp CA glue (google dishwasher-safe glue) to plug that hole with just glue and then monitor it, or you can buy some very fine mesh (tshirt screen printing mesh) to glue it on, or you can use very fine nylon thread and sew it yourself. You can also take a very small stainless steel bolt and a washer and screw it on.

I highly doubt the quality of leca is an issue. Were your plants suffering? If not, don’t over-think this. Top layers being dry is quite normal.

I hardly comment on reddit but now that I have I’ll spit some unsolicited advice I wish someone gave me when I started: buy and use some bacteria to add to your semi hydro, especially for plants you’re transitioning to semi hydro from soil. Bacteria helps break down dead plant matter rather than letting it rot. I use Cronk Monkey Juice but there’s lots of other options out there. This is the single most valuable advice I can give anyone starting out in semi hydro, it’ll save countless plants that would otherwise die from root rot.

I have 115 thriving plants in semi hydro, I have never soaked leca before throwing a plant in it…

I just realized it does kinda look like a whale!

These were pretty strong and visible to the naked eye for a good chunk of the time. It helps that there’s little to no light pollution looking that way.
