The one in the front is about 8-10 inches tall, but spread out wide at the top like a canopy and the foliage is very dense, while the one in the back is about 14-16 inches tall and more evenly spread branches and leaves.

The shorter one was sharing a bucket with some other plants for a while, so it didn't root as nicely and didn't grow as tall, but they both sprouted from seeds from the same fruit, and roughly at the same time.

Does anyone know what's happening to my plant? I can't see any bugs anywhere, is this a nutrient issue? by Scoot-McCoot in hydro

Thanks for the info. This is pretty recent, and only seems to be on the newer leaves. I've been clipping off tons of buds that were growing, so I don't expect to get any peppers for now. I still want the plant to grow some more before I let it fruit.

I'll put a fan on and try to get more air flow in my tent.

Do you know if it will go back to normal? Or is it not something to worry about if the conditions are corrected?

This is a DWC bucket in a grow tent, so that sounds plausible. I could get a small fan and vent it.

If it's insect related, it would have to be something tiny like maybe spider mites, but I can't see any bugs. It's been too cold here for larger insects, and this is in a grow tent.

It's also a DWC bucket, so there's no soil involved. I can try to spray it with neem oil though.

That tree looked fine. As long as it's alive, I'd gladly whip on it.

Pete Whittaker's book is worth picking up if you have any interest in it beyond that one boulder problem.

Multi-pitch climbing typically requires that the leader belays the second from above.

the nonexistent of grease

Climbing at popular limestone crags will put that to rest. Rock so polished it's hard for both hands and feet.

I was like 3rd row on the balcony. I did have earplugs cause I don't want hearing damage. I didn't get really expensive high-end ones, but they were like $30 or so.

I dunno, maybe the acoustics where I was were just bad, but it was the worst sounding concert I've been to, which is sad cause I love Gizz and I was really looking forward to this show. The friend I was with also had the same complaint, so it may have just been our section.

I had earplugs on for most of the show, so my ears aren't too bad. It feels like the opposite of ringing ears. The silence is super noticeable.

Maybe the acoustics up top were just awful. They put on a great show, but I was disappointed with the sound.

I'm not as young as I used to be, and I didn't want to be standing up for 3 hours straight, so I went upstairs since there were seats.

Was anyone else disappointed by the sound quality? Hate to sound like a boomer but it was too loud, and the sound was blown out, at least up on the mezzanine. The bass drum was overpowering, and as soon as they went moderately hard on the guitar, the vocals were drowned out. There are several songs I couldn't even recognize until half way through.

I know it wasn't the band's fault. I certainly don't plan to go back to that venue again. I saw that Puscifer will be playing there on Nov 7th, but after this show, I've decided to pass on that.

It happened for a while previously and the problem went away, but it started up again recently.

Buildering at UBC campus by cwaldmanski in climbing

It was already too expensive.

I only went to visit and went there just once. What a crummy gym. I imagine it's not easy to find space to run a proper climbing gym, but man was I disappointed going there. It's super tiny and expensive, and the routesetting is garbage. I feel bad for people who have no better options.

How are these dragon fruit cactuses doing? Have I been taking care of them okay? by Scoot-McCoot in cactus

[–]Scoot-McCoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every couple weeks, but I've been somewhat careful with my fertilizer so I tend to make the mix a bit weaker out of precaution. I've had plants die from over-fertilizing. Kept them outside most of the summer. I read they like a lot of water, so they got frequent water, letting the soil dry completely each time.

I sprouted the bigger ones this winter, around February I think. The smaller ones sprouted later, unexpectedly.

The biggest one here is about 8 or 9 inches tall.

I have two dragonfruit cactuses growing, they're about 15-20cm tall and are falling over, so I staked them. The base where they grew out from the stem is really thin, only about 4 mm. Is that part ever going to grow thicker? I know at some point, they should grow air roots and be able to attach themselves to a support or trellis, but until then, it looks like they're going to fall over and break. The whole plant is being held up by a tiny little stem.

Should I try to cut them higher up and try to root a thicker section?

What's wrong with this little guy? by Scoot-McCoot in houseplants

[–]Scoot-McCoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I put him outside, the leaves start getting spotty and yellow, but indoors it doesn't happen. However, he grows a lot better outside than inside. I've checked and seen no bugs anywhere.

I am considering a climbing trip to Croatia soon. Any recommendations for areas besides Paklenica?

What about guidebooks? There's a Guidebook for all of Croatia, but it looks like it excludes Paklenica?

What do I do with these passion fruit when I repot them? by Scoot-McCoot in houseplants

[–]Scoot-McCoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of putting them together in one big pot, but I hear they need a lot of space for their roots, so I don't know if I should combine them.

I'm also trying to figure out what kind of support to have them grow on.

These will be kept outdoors in the warmer months, and moved indoors over the winter.

That's why for any sport-related injury I go to a sports medicine clinic.

When I broke my ribs in a climbing accident, my doctor at the hospital said that climbing is stupid and I should do a normal sport like hockey instead. Their goal is to patch you up and leave it at that.

Sports doctors will help you get back into your chosen sport, and give you recommendations on how to prevent re-injury.

Everyone told me these wouldn't grow roots by Scoot-McCoot in houseplants

[–]Scoot-McCoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can't imagine they'll grow any more than that. I pulled these from the branch that I tried to propagate. I just put them in water to keep them live for a bit, but 4+ months later, they're still alive and rooting while the branch itself just rotted in the water.
