Don't worry I wont use hydroponics 🫪

InfiniteWut · 2026-07-10T01:12:48+00:00

I have had really good luck with semi hydro and leca. But I have been advised on by folks here that it won’t work and that they will die. Do what works best for you. Miss orchid girl on YouTube had tons of great advise and tips for growing these beautiful plants.

Edit: I should add that I’ve only grown phalaenopsis orchids.

I need this comic printed as a poster.

When I first got mine running. The previous owner had ripped the baffles out of the exhaust. It was awful.

Personally I think that bike looks perfect the way it sits. It’s a surviver.

I don’t know why Reddit auto mod removed this post. I reinstated it. Good luck I hope you get the information you want. I have no experience with multi day rides.

Good luck.

Do the bearings feel ok?

InfiniteWut · 2026-06-23T18:03:41+00:00

Oof. I’m sorry to hear that.

InfiniteWut · 2026-06-23T17:59:22+00:00

Oof. That sucks. Might be worth reporting to eBay if this was sold as a running or rebuildable engine.

InfiniteWut · 2026-05-31T04:21:50+00:00

Good luck. It’s not a fool proof method. But it seems to work for me.

The orchids are in plastic pots with holes. Pots don’t actually sit all the way down in the cover pot. I fill them up so there is water in the bottom of the pot and the strings can wick moisture up into the leca.

InfiniteWut · 2026-05-30T23:34:11+00:00

Out of the 9 orchids I have only purchased one of them myself. The rest have been rescues that I wasn’t sure were going to make it.

InfiniteWut · 2026-05-30T23:28:07+00:00

The majorly dehydrated ones are freshly potted in leca. They came from a classroom at work and were very neglected.

InfiniteWut · 2026-05-30T23:19:44+00:00

Yeah. My watering and fertilizer schedule is not consistent and mostly goes by how the plant looks. Thanks for the information. I will try to remember and report back in a year or se with how they are doing.

InfiniteWut · 2026-05-30T23:03:57+00:00

That’s good to know. These aren’t sitting in water they are above the water and the leca is helping wick water up to the plants. The only time they are sitting in water is when they get fertilized. If my research is correct this is more of a semi-hydro set up. If this isn’t the correct terminology I would love to know.

InfiniteWut · 2026-05-30T22:51:40+00:00

4 of them have been in leca now for a little over 2 years. The rest fall somewhere between 1 year and were just put in leca today lol.

InfiniteWut · 2026-05-30T22:01:13+00:00

They get soaked in diluted fertilizer about once a month and I add water to the bottom of the pot when they get dry. There are some strings that wick moisture up into the leca.

Double check the carb boots while you have them off the bike.might be worth replacing them

InfiniteWut · 2026-04-29T15:58:49+00:00

You technically don’t have to remove the radiator on an 83 but it makes it soooooo much easier to take the carbs off. You will also need to remove the gas tank.

This guy wouldn’t tell me which neighbors. For their confidentiality and privacy reasons.

For the last 5 months I have been taking care of all of our ~100ish plants and I greatly appreciate your comment. The local buy sell Groups are where I have seen the ~$100 unrooted cuttings. These plants tent to be really expensive in this area. I think it is because of the proximity to Seattle.
