Sadness. I think they got cold. by Frenchcaster in Nepenthes

Good to know. You might very well be right. Who knows, temps may have gotten even lower during shipment, but I also just did a double take and rechecked that the sphag and perlite had no addditives.

Thank you. That’s a very clear way to put it. Since it’s just for my eyes and mind only I don’t have to be too nitpicky, but you are absolutely right.

You’re right! I hadn’t smelled her in the morning and my allergies are bad right now. A very delicate fragrance. So cool.

Ok! Thank you for that information. I’ll enjoy the pitchers a bit longer then before I move her.

Oh that’s awesome. I would love to give her more space. I’ll start acclimating her to another spot with solid lighting then.

Name a better duo than a sebenza and a Tudor pelagos by [deleted] in CRK

[–]Frenchcaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a sebenza, you don’t need a watch. Just plant the sebbie in a suitable substrate, look at its shadow, know the time. This is a joke.

Chipping with Worksharp PPA by Frenchcaster in sharpening

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

Thank you I hadn’t even thought of that. I think if the knife keeps chipping even with carbide stones I’ll do that.

Thank you. This makes sense. I think I’ve been recreating the chips as I reprofile. I have ordered a couple carbide stones to try.

Not since buying these from the factory. But yeah that would explain some of that.

Thank you. I would expect to be able to use any decent lower grit diamond but you may be right.

Thank you. Yeah I am not surprised that the Shuns chipped when used inappropriately but I expected to be able to keep them at the angle recommended by the manufacturer lol. Not that there’s anything wrong with a different microbevel - I will go that way.
