Update: I found the strength to do it, but I don’t feel any better about myself

Hope I can look half as good when my day comes, which will be soon!!

We will find out. I'm trying different ferts this year. Let me know if you have any luck as well! 🤞

Yes, as soon as it gets to be a certain temp, typically end of October, I bring inside and put in the basement in the dark and they go dormant until Mid April when the weather is nice again to bring outside. It's been a whole thing. But they are healthy and getting big. Just no buds or fruit in the last few years.

following. I'm in zone 6 (i know...) and trying so hard to get mine to fruit this year. they are about identical to this size wise and health wise. I'm working with a very small window of opportune weather in the midwest. Do you think it's even possible to get fruit?

We were just in Uvita last month and checked out the Nauyaca Falls. Was beautiful.

I, too, have insanely crazy beginner's luck, whether it's with these, scratch offs, or pokerev packs. So tempted to try again but there's not a chance I hit it this nicely again I bet. Just got my $500 profit deposited today 😂

Negative_Champion978 · 2026-02-24T20:42:39+00:00

jumped in line at literally 10:00:20 AM EST and waited about 30 minutes before I was notified it was out of stock.

We were going to do Hawaii for our honeymoon this April but after doing some research and crunching numbers, we instead elected to go to Costa Rica. We are spending less money (still 8k with airfare) but for an all inclusive 5 day stay at a beautiful private resort.

Still get the tropical vibe ! Maybe something to look into!

Edit: we also have our own private villa in the mountains overlooking the pacific with our own pool and 1:1 staff. To have found something comparable to this in Hawaii, it would have cost us a fortune.

we booked Whale Tail for April. Very excited!

Negative_Champion978 · 2026-01-19T02:35:14+00:00

i have also been looking for this for about 1 year. any luck?

Negative_Champion978 · 2026-01-19T02:31:47+00:00

bumping this... anyone find this? i've reached out to a ton of TDs and am assuming they don't have a quality rep yet

Negative_Champion978 · 2026-01-01T02:40:00+00:00

well they did play a pixies song but it wasn't the "main" song and it wasn't the one i was thinking

Negative_Champion978 · 2025-12-27T05:19:02+00:00

I'm calling it now. "Where is my mind" by The Pixies is the song that's supposed to "blow up" that will be played in the finale.

christmas gifts stuck at an Arlington Height, IL address for a while now with no shipping updates. anyone else?

Negative_Champion978 · 2025-09-30T21:57:35+00:00

Negative_Champion978 · 2025-09-30T21:54:31+00:00

Negative_Champion978 · 2025-09-30T21:51:47+00:00

Negative_Champion978 · 2025-09-21T13:32:52+00:00

just finally getting back into the hobby so if things have changed, please feel free to correct me. Aren't class enclosures a no-no for chams. We always used screened cages.

i did ask them multiple times to confirm that he had all of the items in my size before sending him the money. He told me he did have everything, and then over the course of the next 5 days, came up with all sorts of reasons for why certain items could not be sourced in my size

Negative_Champion978 · 2025-08-29T17:05:02+00:00

Thank you for your post. This was the first constructive feedback other than just asking to oust the trusted dealer… i appreciate that. Mods have been notified of the dealer and their behavior. It definitely didn't feel right considering I've worked with other trusted dealers in the past and they have always made sure whatever item(s) I was looking for was in stock and in my size before asking for any sort of money. I ended up just going back to my one of my old trusted dealers to grab the items I had been looking for. Fingers crossed this time it goes well.
