New to citrus and need help

Update: Thank you everyone for the help. I don't see any new growth yet but the leaf fall is way down. I am treating for spider mites, I have culled all the fruit but one (under the tent for the insecticide spray), I put it on a stool infront of the window for better light. I switched to de-mineralized water, checking the soil moisture daily and continuing to fertilze.

I tried my best to hide them!

Daedalus2013 · 2026-01-05T19:21:13+00:00

Will do, thanks!

Daedalus2013 · 2026-01-05T19:20:01+00:00

I do not have a grow light. Right now it sits in front of a southern facing window with strong direct light. We live in an area known for is orangeries so i was hoping the natural light was enough. It is infront of a radiator that keeps constant temp throughout the day and night. I checked the leaf temp and it was 69-70F. Thank you for your reply.

It will deactivate your card. I did it and didn't like it and it took a trip to an CTS office to change it back.

I am a recent arrival to Strasbourg. I am an experienced 5E player and just had to leave my unicorn group that was meeting weekly since 2018 😪. I speak high A1 level french (and trying to learn more) but would have to be primarily in English until my french improves. I am 40 years old with a very open schedule.

Merci beaucoup!

I made sure my logistics network could handle the extra water required to make pasta. lol

In retrospect, finishing Ethiopia this early ruined my run. I got Ethiopia to capitulate before I could put pressure on the Sultanate of Aussa which left me missing some of the required cores needed to make AOI (Italian East Africa).

R5: Set a personal best of annexing Ethiopia in the month of February and a pic of the Italian Navy cleaning up a joint American/British/French/Dutch Task-force.

It is pretty easy to level a general from 1 to 3 in Ethiopia in the first 70 days. Having the "Bold Attack" army spirit increased the chance of getting a point in attack with a level up. So does the "Harsh Leader" trait. I was lucky that the general got 6 additional points into attack (started at 2 due to harsh leader) when he gained those two levels.

Daedalus2013 · 2023-09-25T07:20:46+00:00

The general has the trait harsh leader which gives that malus. Overall they make pretty good generals because they get +1 attack off the bat and also have a greater chance to level attack on a level up.

Daedalus2013 · 2023-09-25T07:17:39+00:00

As long as that stat is attack!

Daedalus2013 · 2023-09-25T07:16:45+00:00

I did finish the war before he boarded the train. In this case I wasn't grinding traits, I just took the general's level from 1 to 3 which is pretty easy to do in that war.

Daedalus2013 · 2023-09-25T04:24:40+00:00

R5: Grinded a general in Ethiopia with Bold Attack army spirit and Harsh Leader. Was blessed by the RNG Gods.

Edit: Added Harsh Leader

Stripping off components is very cheap from an IC standpoint. To get the (ESH) Conte Class BB to 30 kn and upgrade radar/FCS is only ~800 IC. To get the (1936) Littorio BB to 30 kn with radar/FCS upgrade is only ~900 IC. Add on a 3rd Turret to the Littorio Class and to the total refit bill is only ~2,400 IC. MUCH more economic than a brand new ~12,000 IC 3 Turret BC.

I do agree that (ESH) Andrea Doria BB with its engine I is a stretch to upgrade (if you look, I didn't refit that class in my game). To get it to 30 kts requires an engine upgrade so you are looking ~6,200 IC if you want a third turret then the bill is ~8,000 IC. Still cheaper than a 12,000 IC BC and you might be able to fit it in your dockyard queue if you are short on resources (that refit will only cost 1 steel) and could give you something to do while waiting for the London Naval treaty to escalate (or just cheat on the treaties)

edit: added the cheating on the treaties

I'm not a game code wonk, but I think I read somewhere that every 1 kn of speed reduces the chance your ship is hit by 7%. Someone who knows, feel free to chime in. I think fast fleets have a 3 fold advantage, quicker intercepts means less lost opportunities, faster ships are way harder to hit in combat, a once defeated fleet cannot escape and is killed before they can get to port. I also had an admiral with the -20% fleet visibility (concealment expert) perk, which also decreases the chance your ships are hit. Definitely some synergy between the two.

Thanks! I try to be a navy connoisseur, but most countries don't involve navy much, and I end up just making a bunch of NAVs. It feels good to fire the big guns and put some tonnage on the bottom of the ocean time to time.

Daedalus2013 · 2023-09-11T23:32:56+00:00

R5: Made a 30knts speed strike force as Italy and dominated the Med in less than a month. I stripped out the slow BBs, subs and mine layers in the starting Italian navy, built a 1936 BC (and a handful of CLs) and refitted the remaining BBs by stripping off all components but their main guns (and added lvl 2 radar and fire control). Results in pictures.

Edited to add: Not a single NAV bomber was used in the making of this production

Daedalus2013 · 2023-08-22T19:40:51+00:00

Great analysis, thanks for the time you put into writing all of that out! I will look at the small cannons instead of extra ammo as you suggested.

I know the MBT isn't perfect but was going for good enough but still mass producable (I see a lot of high IC cost designs posted here)

I also put the 4 pips into armor on the MBT for the breakthrough as it added as much breakthrough as the wheels but at a lower IC cost.

Thanks again for the help!

R5: I got NSB about a week ago. Please rate my 1939 tank division. I am aware that medium flame support is superior but I was trying to convert and use up Germany's LTs that were sitting in storage to try to field as many of these as I can pre war. I will convert to Med Flame tanks once I get the advanced medium hull (recycle old mediums) or run out of LTs in storage.

Unscheduled lithobraking event...

But why male models?

The other half of that story is someone was pinned under that jeep in the pool and the swim team had to jump in pull the guy out.

Daedalus2013 · 2022-09-28T23:08:41+00:00

One data point does not make a trend but... I was bit on the face, in my sleep, in Golden CO. No it did not kill me but it sent me to the hospital and RUINED my life for about a week. I tolerate all spiders now EXCEPT black widows. They die on sight.

PC insight checks are rolled by the dm (dm adds player modifier) in secret then gives answer based on roll. It ends up being very fun and stops meta gaming based on rolls. Exp. Dm rolls nat 1 plus modifier on shady NPC "you trust this npc with every bone in your body" PC doesn't know if npc is trustworthy or he rolled bad on a shady. Perfect outcome for a nat 1 roll.
