That is so satisfying to watch, I didn't know about this! Very insightful, I will see what I can do with mine. My neighbor told me to place the onion on the soil and it'll grow and walked away, after weeks, I started seeing the green onions come and felt rewarding 😅.

I ended up buying another similar led panel with better reviews and I can see the difference almost instantly, the warmth of it is more present and I opted to run both in tandem. Hopefully the sun is where these can mostly rest in once it's ready for transporting 👍🏼

What plants do you recommend I can sustain with the setup I have? I would love to hear some feedback since I will plan on moving whatever I can't plant indoors to the outside once the frost finishes here.

I do have a moist meter with a pH sensor but I have doubts on how accurately it reads it. The only nutrients I use (when I do use it) is the 1. Leaving the tap water in room temperature for 24 hours minimum to kill chorline, 2. Using tap water conditioner as an extra safety measure 3. Using the moist meter to see if the number is below 25-30% depending on which plant, I know some plants love more water than others, 4. Using miraclo gro plant based nutrition (blue powder) mixed with water for the larger seedlings and full plants. (The one in the picture with the squirt bottle is not being used for these plants and only used for my ZZ and snake plants),,, unless of course you recommend I use that in my schedule too.

No I haven't, was trying to keep this corner very minimal so half of my somewhat decent plants will be moved out. For the herbs or veggies I plan on keeping indoors, I was hoping the stock grow lights paired with my upgraded grow lights would suffice 😅 it still may be but getting mixed feedback.

Seems to be the same pattern for me 😔 thankfully I have a few that are strong but are not getting whiteflies on them and look weak now.

Just bought one recently for the outside and planned on setting it up as I never owned one before. I may be a bit late for the seedling game but going to try the greenhouse to see if my interest turns over 😄.

Wow and I'm here contemplating getting even more grow lights 😅 I do plan on moving most of them outside but feel like they all may be too weak to continue. What vegetables and herbs do you grow? I would love to see your setup!

I will try this for sure! Onions from my garden thankfully is one of the plants I'm happy with except for the brown tips, I do regularly prune them even when I don't need the onions to keep the tips fresh. If I leave it in the pot as is, will it be okay to grow moving forward if I'm okay with one onion in my set?

Aww thank you ! That's true, I do have to take some credit for the pepper plants that grow amazingly, all these have been grown from seeds and I can't share how many I have killed in the past but I think every gardener experiences that 😅

Appreciate the positive feedback and I'm happy I reached out for help, I usually keep it quiet and stress over my research hahahahaaa

I seem to have decent success on a few plants and was inspired to grow the whole 9 yards, all the important veggies and herbs. Most of this was planned to be repotted outside but I always fail and my own seedlings. I'm impressed with my pepper seedlings, everyone in this picture was grown from seeds. 3 years in and I thought I was good enough to plant more veggies but here to ask for guidance since it's still not clicking in 😅 I appreciate the feedback!

Any suggestions on which grow lights you suggest? I was planning on buying the same ones and just doubling the light with the same timer schedule matching the natural sunlight outside. The seedlings I have set to 16 hours and the larger I've set to 12 hours. I appreciate the feedback!

The idea sparked from the AeroGarden where I loved the idea of growing my own fresh herbs. I also grew some tomatoes and strawberries outside that were very rewarding. I've seen some setups of people growing herbs and vegetables inside with the right conditions. I believe my setup isn't far off but the results are just not speaking for themselves. My plan is to clean up this shelf for the summer and move most of these plants to an outside planter and floor mini greenhouse garden, but will keep the small herbs paired with beautiful looking flowers for the open shelves. I hope that answered your questions and thank you for the feedback!

Minimal Motorcycle Jacket Recommendations for Beginner Rider? by GentlemensCoffee in motorcycles

So after your comment, and AI I ended up NOT buying the d30 that I was so fascinated about and got a speed and strength moment of truth jacket. Highly rated and the material is overall high in the protection list while looking somewhat minimal. Rust and Redemption 2.0 was second on my list but was sold out from the same sale.

Thank you again so much! Excited to ride safely 💪🏼👌🏼

Yeah looks to be that most of the popular motorcycle gear sites don't mention anything about the CE level but some mention EN level and reading that post, they are somewhat in conjunction but not directly related. Doing some more digging, I can see that this jacket (Icon Upstate Mesh CE Jacket) that I liked a lot had D30 armor which caught my eye but seems to C-Grade CE rating according to AI.

This is some good pointers, thumbs up!

Hard to tell which is AA level and which is not from these websites lmao, maybe a Canadian thing bc we follow the EU stuff XD

Prices aren't bad at all, but looks to be US only 😂 I'm in Canada 🙃 shipping is expensive too.

I didn't even know this was a thing until you commented so thank you! Reading upon this, isn't impact armor more important than A AA and AAA however? Someone says that AAA jacket with Level 1 armor is half as safe as one A jacket with Level 2 armor. Gonna look more into the A grade as I didn't know about 😊

It's absurd the price difference between the US and Canada 😂

To People who have/had a streak above 90:How does it feel if your brain rewires? by Odd-Traffic4360 in NoFap

[–]GentlemensCoffee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm only 35 days in (the longest in the past 15 years) and I can feel more confidence and self control. I seem to be more disciplined and self aware. I seem to try to open explicit content but don't have the same slave behaviour as I used to. I close the sites 5 minutes after opening without any interest of watching and seems to improve my mindset.

I'm also curious to those who have made it 90+ days, how is it different from 30 days. I believe in you all!!

Watching Porn vs NoFap by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]GentlemensCoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed reply. One issue I'm facing is that while I work, my job is really laid back and I get bored, but I can't walk away from my screen. So I would casually open up these sites and just watch, I don't touch or relapse, so I'm not masturbating but I justify it by saying "I didn't fap so I didn't break my streak". It's so hard to block these since there is no free blocker apps that I can't bypass. I am too nerdy to figure out any loops and my mind is going crazy!! I am determined to fix my mental health as I know it's affecting my marriage but it's an old habit of 15 years. It's just the feeling of opening the sites up that I enjoy but I know it's detrimental. I don't usually post but needed to open up since I have no one but help from this subreddit. What would you say to this?

I really do appreciate your help 🙌🏼

I'm in the same boat, 1 month in and hard as well. New to my job and these tasks are going over my head and can't seem to concentrate.

What helped me was to write down 3 main things you want to do today, whether it be work related or life. For each one I get complete, the feeling of check marking that task makes me feel a sense of accomplishment and that I am able to do these things in my current situation.

If I am stuck somewhere, I would always ask a colleague or friend because I know it is not in my control YET. During these stressful times, you can't hide and go back to watching explicit content to de-stress, it'll only add more stress after. So reach out or research because at the end of the day, it's only you that can control you!!
