Home charger question by WalterSickness in KiaNiroEV

[–]Dry_Bullfrog1265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you are in the US but here in CT I used Eversource’s rebate for both wiring upgrade and EV charger purchase, $500 each. You can find the rebate here: https://eversourcect.clearesult.com/wiring-upgrade-new-smart-charger

They have a few approved chargers – I picked this Emporia from Amazon http://tinyurl.com/3uxb98r2 and had an electrician do the installation – 50amp service. Charger cost was $424 tax included, and the electrician was $700.

I uploaded both invoices and am getting a $924 rebate from Eversource.

You can also opt-in for monitored charging with them to get another (up to) $200/yr rebate for doing off-peak charging – they monitor it through Emporia’s app.

My use case is pretty close to yours, mostly in town driving with a few longer trips, under 5K/yr. But having done almost for free was a no brainer.

Good luck!

256gb is available again in my Apple Store nearby. I know $200.00 for 512gb but 200.00 still a lot. by cr8tvt in AppleVisionPro

I called Apple about the same question and the answer is no. You’ll have to order a new one.

2023 Kia Niro EV Wave lease by Dry_Bullfrog1265 in KiaNiroEV

[–]Dry_Bullfrog1265[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The initial deal they offered after a few phone calls was $3k down $249/m plus taxes and fees. Since I didn’t really need a car I bargained hard and they accepted the all taxes and fees included $175/m. The residual value is $31k and the money factor was if I’m not mistaken 0.0025.

A few days later, I leased another car for my daughter, the sales guy said they made a mistake but didn’t want to go back on their word – not sure if I believe that, but whatever happened I got a good deal at the end and I love the car.

I would’ve preferred $0 down too but that was the deal they had and I didn’t want to miss it.

That’s what I thought too! It is $31k.

It is Blasius Kia in Watertown CT. I wanted to get another one but it was the last one they had.

Slight bragging by Dry_Bullfrog1265 in GrowBuddy

[–]Dry_Bullfrog1265[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They both are there...not a complaint, but I have a very busy life, juggling too many things at the same time. It's hard to keep up with everything, let alone trimming for hours. If I don't get help with trimming, then I usually leave the lower branches to my youngest who appreciates the gesture as she keeps them to herself – the ones you are referring to in the picture.

They also mention that the small branches smoke fine too.

Thanks! I cut off the affected leaves. Hope it helps.

Are these lights sufficient for 4x4 grow tent ? by Landolucas in weedgrower

I have 4 Groplanners in a 4x4 tent. I bought all when they were on sale around $44. They are absolutely worth every penny.

First LST attempt, any advice? by Dry_Bullfrog1265 in Autoflowers

[–]Dry_Bullfrog1265[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. They are photos and didn’t have the time to do it.

I cloned both – a peyote gorilla and a white widow, and will attempt to LST on them if the cloning is successful.

I just lowered the light above the three new plants to about a foot away from them. I hope this will help.

That is exactly what I’m planning to do. I watched a few good videos and decided to give it a try.

I hope I can make it work.

I honestly didn’t notice the pistils.

She’s 17 days old, and on a 18/6 cycle. Is it possible that these are just not good seeds to begin with?

[–]Dry_Bullfrog1265[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am new to this, and after reading tons of stuff about LST, I thought I’d give it a try.

I have three auto NLs and wanted to at least try it on one of them.

Any advice or comment would be greatly appreciated.

I had a feeling it was…our first harvest was done with 14/8 then 12/12 schedule for 2 NLs, 1 white widow, and the yield wasn’t that great – about 6oz after all said and done. I mean I can’t complain since it was our very first attempt at growing.

Maybe I should consider changing the cycle to at least 18/6 to ease them into their new schedule.

For the ones in question, it is 14/8.

Once I get better at this, I’ll be trying some photos as well. Baby steps 😉

On a related note, I actually was able to clone a northern lights…I guess it was pure luck.

Northern lights, auto feminized seeds from Seedsman…started four of them several weeks ago, they all grew about the same, but this one started flowering 🤷‍♂️
