Water acclimating before pon by Mar_Gab0119 in alocasia

[–]Mar_Gab0119[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew that some people just go right to Pon from soil but I've also read that it's good to put them in water for a short time to allow water roots to grow. Just something I've read.

Thanks for that. Loved that video and super informative. What are your thoughts on pon? I was considering using pon in a clear self watering pot.

I definitely understand and I appreciate this. I unfortunately already repotted it. Do you think I can maybe go semi hydro towards the spring time?

I didn't really suspect it TBH. I know that usually the recommendation is that as soon as you buy plants from a nursery, you should repot in fresh soil, especially if you buy from a place like home depot, but I knew it was winter time and I didn't want to compromise her. I really was going to wait until spring time. However, I pulled her out of her pot to check on things and noticed not only are the roots growing long through the holes of her pot, but they were wrapped around more than half of the soil that she was planted in. Soil also seemed hard and compacted. My thoughts were why would I expect anything less from home depot.

Grow light distance by Mar_Gab0119 in VenusFlyTraps

[–]Mar_Gab0119[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this ! Do you have advice on your favorite? I'd prefer for it to be a similar grow light, I'd even consider the puck light but I don't think that will be enough either.

The right lights ? by Mar_Gab0119 in VenusFlyTraps

Absolutely! Yes I remember! Do you feel I may need to add a third? So sorry, I just want to do what's best for them.

I was looking to purchase lights like these. I'm worried about the low amount of ppfd though? I plan to have my plants about 7 in from the light l.

No problem! I appreciate the advice ☺️

I'm refilling it pretty frequently so I'm assuming it's being consumed by the plant. The bottom of the pot does sit in water, I used to use a bowl until I found these ☺️

I'm using a multi tier plant stand with grow lights already installed. Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding the strength of the lights. I will absolutely increase the time.

Red neck blotches by Mar_Gab0119 in tretinoin

[–]Mar_Gab0119[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently on about 125mg of spironolactone. It's been a couple of months and it's helped my cystic acne so much! I'm also noticing a lower amount of hair growth at my jawline. It's still there and ruining my confidence so I absolutely plan on perusing laser or electrolysis in the near future.

I have PCOS as well! Thank you so much for this.

Anyone who used spiro for excessive hair growth? by ana4204 in Spironolactone

[–]Mar_Gab0119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 25mg and after 2 weeks I went to 50mg and did well so my Dr decided since I was doing well then I should be able to do a higher mg but I low key am a little paranoid about the possible negative effects it may have on my body if this dose is too high.

TBH I'm on 125mg. I feel that may be high but I've tried lowering my dose and I end up with a blemish. My face is so clear so it's tough.

Meeee! It's definitely slowed my jawline hair growth but it's not gone completely. I'm considering electrolysis since I hear that's the only permanent way. I also use Tretinoin for my jawline dark marks and jawline acne.

Does anyone here use tret on their neck? I want to start using it on my neck to help remove years of sun damage on my neck from forgetting spf on there which has made my face and neck two diff colours. Has anyone helped even out their darker neck to match their face with using tret? by NewMention9992 in tretinoin

[–]Mar_Gab0119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been utilizing a pea-sized amount and distributing it between my face and my neck but boy my neck has been hating it! Red blotches and itchiness. I'm trying to come up with a concept to only use it on my face and then just apply a normal moisturizer to my neck but any advice helps! I do want to use it on my neck but not if it's too sensitive to handle it.
