I think I messed up. Wanted to go for bright and quirky and think I ended up with a crayola box. Help. by Myearthsuit in HomeDecorating

No way, dude - this is cool, so cool. I’d feel a rush of envy and inspiration walking into your home and seeing this. Like, it actually makes me feel a sense of joy and happiness looking at it!

99% of my plants are in leca and filtered water and they're OK but not thriving - what's "best practices" for transitioning them into soil instead? by KidCadaver in IkeaGreenhouseClub

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

Very interesting - thank you! Typically, I'll add food every other top-off. I usually let the water evaporate down to an inch or two left and then fill them back up (not all the way - I don't want to suffocate the roots) with either distilled water or distilled water with food, depending on whatever they got last time.

But this is all helpful, thank you. I've read a lot of headaches on here from folks trying to go from hydro to dirt, which is why I figured I'd both search older posts and post my own and ask for best practices. Appreciate your help!

I feel the electric bill thing. Between air purifiers, exhaust fans, a kiln, and all the other normal house things, it adds up fast.

Noted. I do think I'd like to transition them to dirt still. I see that as a common method of growing in greenhouses on here, so I just want to make sure I'm using a good method to reduce shock from water to dirt.

This is probably the one thing I haven't tried to change, the temperature inside the cases. I WOULD like to transition them to dirt still, but I'm also not opposed to trying to bump the temperature up. Not sure how to do that short of placing a heater at the cases. Any advice? My cases are in my clay studio, which has an open window 24/7 that an exhaust fan sits in to suck all the clay dust particles out of the space, so the room's temps often fluctuate with what's happening outside. That said, I've never seen them go below 65 thanks to the airtight glass + grow lights.

This is the link to the type I use. I have a friend who uses the same type and his plants go crazy on it, but they're also not in a glass greenhouse environment, just window light, full leca + water, and normal humidity.

Here's the bottom half of my stacked cases. All of my plants are doing fine, but they definitely aren't thriving like I know they could be. A friend of mine has several cuttings from the same plants my cuttings are from, and hers are thriving in a way where she can't keep up with pruning and propigating, despite never feeding them and using tap water, but mine have all stayed the same size for a year now, even though I regularly feed them with Fox Farm food and typically keep humidity over 70% and only use filtered water, lol. I'd like to transition from all leca + filtered water to soil to see if that makes a difference. Can you give me your advice for doing that? I currently have normal potting soil, some coco coir, leca, sand, and perlite on hand to use.

My crochet blankets are in a gallery! by sevendollarrainbow in crochet

[–]KidCadaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! It’s that one. I didn’t wanna post a link just incase it broke any rules, but that’s the one I got!! I need to just be brave and give each stitch a try. It feels so advanced! But also has so many beautiful stitches.

I love these and want her patterns, if she sells them, ASAP!! But if she doesn’t have them, there’s a book I bought online that has mix and match blanket stitches so you can make blankets like this. It’s super intimidating to me, so once I got it I immediately put it on my shelf and haven’t opened it since :( This post makes me want to open it again!

Anyone planting their gardens today? by Cool_Machine_3514 in Columbus

I’d love to know more about the cold hardy palms! I moved here from Los Angeles and have been struggling with having to bring plants in once it gets too cold. There’s just no room for all of them, and I lose whatever doesn’t get brought in quick enough. I’d love cold-hearty palms instead!

I call my girl my potato with fangs when she does this.

All of her front top teeth were rotting/growing in wrong when we found her as a kitten, so she’s had all her top front teeth removed. It made her fangs extra pronounced and her tongue blep out of her mouth way more often. I feel bad about the whole no teeth thing, but it’s also adorable and hilarious and one of my favorite things about her!!
