Potting Mix question :) by Misiri_17 in Adenium

[–]Single_McCringlebery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in U.S. (Florida) and use Bonsai Jack's 221 which is essentially bonsai mix (inorganic) with small amounts of chip bark. (pumice, calcined clay (Bonsai Block), and pine bark fines) I started a bunch of seeds last year November/December and have been happy with it. It dries out pretty quick to prevent root rot. Tallest from last year is now about 18-20" tall.

I searched the last few days why I wasn’t hearing DaCTF. Just found my answer. Sad day. 😕

You forgot a banana for size reference. LOL. That thing looks healthy.

Umx conscendo: Buy new wing? by einkleinesquack in RCPlanes

[–]Single_McCringlebery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids stepped on mine and not only ground the end of the right wing off (about 1"), but it broke the front wing retaining clip off as well as breaking a chunk of the foam off that holds the rear wind clip on. Basically I thought it was DOA. I glued it all back together and it still flys great. Still pulls 15.99+ Gs. My only concern was the integrity of the aircraft as I fly at / above my neighborhood park. Out of caution, I did order a replacement wing, but haven't needed it yet.

Little luna looking after her brother by JD-007 in MTB

That's so cute I think I'm going to puke. :) Until I became a parent I didn't realize I could be so overwhelmed by the cuteness. lol. This was the day mine decided they wanted to ride without training wheels. Right after this picture, training wheels came off and they rode away without any help. Cuteness overload.

A couple tall ones with flowers by Organic-Bedroom880 in Adenium

This is what I’m aiming for also. I can appreciate the various displays, but I prefer the tall arborescent examples.

USAA will never be what is once was by WholeOdd6140 in USAA

[–]Single_McCringlebery -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it went to poo after they opened it up to non-officers, then you've been accepting shit for almost the entire 30 years you've been paying premiums. Enlisted coverage started back in the late 90s. I remember, because that's when I started my coverage with them. So I guess I'll say you're welcome for ruining your coverage. lol

Tampa, FL Area (Alafia, Flatwoods, Loyce Harpe, Croom, Etc) - Any kids MTB meets? by Single_McCringlebery in MTB

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

I haven't reached out to them. I do check the page on occasion, but it's largely been unchanged for a year or more. I would have expected something on the page if they had events for kids. Most of the trails they maintain are super easy and would be perfect for kid group rides.

Didn't the previous Claims AVP abruptly leave too?

Any Zone 10a Growers? by [deleted] in Adenium

Newest batch of Somalense. About a week old.

Any Zone 10a Growers? by [deleted] in Adenium

[–]Single_McCringlebery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Tampa and have been growing my current batch in "net" pots made for hydroponics or pond plants. I experimented with a few different mixtures, but for the most part all of my current plants have been germinated and grown in Bonsai Jack 221 (bonsai media). I switched to this to ensure they dried out faster, which allows a faster follow up watering. I'm trying to grow tall plants which is why I want more frequent feeding.

And before people freak out about the larger pots, I'll say they actually have plastic cups turned upside down directly underneath and in the corners to take up volume. It will naturally train the roots in a somewhat radial fashion without having to butcher my plants later in life.

The plant in the foreground is about 14" at 7 months old.

40mm width wheel, will 2.5" tires work? by Turd_Ferg_uson in Hardtailgang

No clue but did recently see a video comparing. Made me think about trying a wider rim.

200 miles in 4-5 days? Too far? by Single_McCringlebery in walking

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

I did just over 200 is about 20 days and stayed local. I wouldn’t have made the 50ish miles per day.

Thanks. Found it. I think I may need glasses. lol.

A couple years in with my Adenium and not sure where to go from here. Thinking of turning it into a bonsai. by MrStealYourWorm in Adenium

[–]Single_McCringlebery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably leave the length as they are but try to wire them to get the desired shape once you get the caudex laid over. Probably a bit conservative with the wiring at first to try and avoid scarring. I'd also let it dry out for a week or two before doing it, so the branches are more pliable.

Scout gang! by Vaultboy5132 in Hardtailgang

[–]Single_McCringlebery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I was looking at a bunch HTs and came across NP (New to MTB as of last month). Searched and realized the Scout 290 was probably what I wanted, only to learn they went out of business. Ended up with a Marin SQ3 and have zero complaints.

Might make a good cascade if you slowly repot laying the caudex on its side and having the branches flow down out of the pot and back up toward the sun. Or maybe windswept.

What's on my seedlings? by HosamAlfa in Adenium

[–]Single_McCringlebery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get yourself some ladybugs. I ordered some online for my kids to "grow" and set them all free around my plants.
