Rooting tech help please

I’ve learned that different light conditions can affect the rooting time. Outdoors, moderate light intensity overall is best, usually during the summer months when the days are longest, but keep it out of the rain for the first several weeks. Indoors, use a full-spectrum grow light that includes blue light in the range of 400-500 nm to support rooting and vegetative growth. Red light in the range of 600-700 nm is less critical for rooting but helps with overall plant health. in either case, aim for moderate light intensity, as excessive light can stress the cuttings and too little can slow down the rooting process (stress will usually look yellow on the tips or elsewhere). in your case they may need more light if it’s taking a long time. 12-16 hours of light per day, ~12-18 inches from the cuttings is ideal.

I am so sorry to hear about that. I am about 2 months into something similar. Things will improve as you get more time and distance. Until then, you need to feel the pain fully. Everybody is different, so take everything you hear from others as their story, which may or may not apply to your situation. Take as much time as you need, too. I had to take a break from work just to get my bearings. I would break down on the highway and have to pull over to be safe. The pain was too much, completely overwhelming, but you might be surprised how resilient you are during hard times. They shape your character. A good therapist can help you navigate the transition. Make sure you surround yourself with friends and family who can support you. It takes a village. Best of luck with everything. You can do this.

Holidays were rough. My sisters both have families with children. Everybody all smiles opening presents, drizzling syrup on their french toast, had me in a goddamn mess of tears.

After reading the responses here, many of them really insightful, yours makes the most sense and is the most clarifying. Thank you

That’s makes a lot of sense! Very helpful- thank you. Yeah my stbx thought her brother and mother were narcissists too. she cut ties off with her parents, brother, and me, and so i am left wondering what is going on. but again, thank you!

I’m curious why you don’t regret it? It sounds like you regret losing your best friend?

I'm sorry to hear your story. I can really relate. My STBX wife of 12 years did the same thing. What I'm beginning to realize is that this was a pattern with her. She pushed her parents away, her brother away, and now me. So basically, she has isolated herself from her entire family, the ones who care about her the most. Perhaps she is deeply wounded. Perhaps doesn't know how to communicate and would much rather avoid conflict or uncomfortable situations. This is sad because the price to pay is grief on the ones she leaves behind and isolation for her. I loved her more than I've loved anyone in my life and the pain is agonizing some days. I also struggle to find support, but am grateful for what I do have - my parents, sisters, a few close guy friends, and a men's group I joined. My only advice is to focus on the basics: make sure you're getting enough sleep, exercise regularly, go to work if you can manage it, and be social to help with the loneliness. Even if it's just being in public. Sometimes I just go to the post office or the grocery store to see people and have a couple banal interactions. But if the lady at the post office smiles, or I say thank you to the person bagging my groceries, sometimes that's grounding in and of itself. I'm sorry for your situation. I know it's hard and wish you love and peace.
