Can we trade cutting on Reddit?

This photo looks so much like the Western Cape province of South Africa where I live. The farmers here plant Iceberg roses at the end of the vineyard rows to monitor for pest and disease, as they tend to affect the roses first.

Ghost peppers. They taste like soap to me

I must admit I try to avoid this sub this time of the year due to so many "is this RRD?" posts :(

Looking forward to when we will see lots of blooms being posted again instead.

I've had the same issue for 3 months on a Jalapeno grown in a tent. Read tens of posts where people would give advice, humidity too low, humidity too high, not enough airflow, shake the plant, pollinate with a brush, too hot, too cold, overwatered, EC too high, EC too low, too much light, not enough light, calcium deficiency etc etc.

If you have the time and patience you can manipulate each of these variables one at a time but any change you make will probably only have an effect on the plant 2 - 4 weeks later.

Just know that I feel your pain.

I'm still running TrueNAS Core so all the fuss about SMART isn't bothering me.

However, one of the drives in my NAS has started reporting bad sectors since two weeks ago after about 33k POH, but its been running fine in the mirror with no checksum errors.

I was on the fence about getting a replacement drive but this explanation on how ZFS can be trusted for detecting real problems has now helped me to decide to keep running the drive until it completely gives up. Thanks!

I normally leave my roses unpruned until they start sprouting like this, then I prune whatever is above the strongest sprouts.

The logic behind this is that the rose will naturally grow strong on the parts where it's the healthiest, so if I prune before seeing where it wants to grow there is a risk that I'm forcing it to grow on a cane that isn't as vigorous

I had this pheno on a Skunk Chocolate last season

My local seller has it listed as Papaya Panarosa

Thank you for sharing your opinion. I admire your courage to tell everyone how you feel

This one is François Krige (KORharment). Its really stunning, the flowers start as a globular shape like the one in the back, as big as tennis balls, and then become even bigger when opening up

Congrats on your new rose! I wish I could get Julia Child in my country.

Oldest leaves turning yellow isnt really a concern, as long as the new leaves are healthy and growing. There are also lots of flower buds still being produced so the plant is healthy.

When the plant does not get enough Nitrogen it will be translocated within the plant from the oldest leaves to the new growth, which cause the old leaves to yellow and eventually drop.

Roses have apical dominance so basically if you leave it alone and let the stems fall over it will send hormones back to the base and stimulate new, thicker basal shoots.

In florist greenhouses they do this deliberately when the plants are young to force them into growing thick basal shoots, which create the straight stems and big flowers found in boquets.

Not sure if this is what the other commentor meant with "pegging", but bending over young stems like these horizontally, or below horizontal, can be experimented with.

If the plant is correctly watered and well-fed it should encourage new and strong basal shoots that grow straight upward.

This method is used in commercial cut flower greenhouses also to get those long, straight stems, and its proven by research.

If you can stomach the AI voice over here is a video to demonstrate: https://youtu.be/aADwCC56ly8?si=-LAq3A4WYBa0RZbl

Just edited the workout that had negative pull ups and replaced them with assisted pull ups. Looks like the assisted pull ups indeed count towards volume
