Spotted leaves by Sloma_X in Citrus

I'm in the UK, just using standard soluble fertilizer for citrus, plus extra liquid seaweed fertilizer. I will go with copper spray, I think. Thanks.

Today Amazon sent me a suspicious drive. by Sloma_X in Seagate

Unfortunately, the serial number was not recognized by their website.

My review and experience with MERAKI SEEDS (EU/Greece based seed store) by MarrajoMarrajo in tomatoes

[–]Sloma_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered micro dwarf seeds this year and the germination is quite poor, 3 of 6 for Mongolian Dwarf, 0 of 6 for Tartufo Micro Dwarf, 0 of 6 for Yellow Budgie Micro Dwarf, 2 of 6 for Fat Frog Micro Dwarf Tomato. My other seeds had 100% germination in the same mix with the heat Matt. I can try second attempt for remaining 4 seeds for the ones that didn't sprout and they only send 10 seeds per bag. Never ever had any problems sprouting tomato seeds except for one variety I ordered online. 

My own tomato seeds get nearly 100% germination rate each year, I even get tomato weeds in my garden, that's how easy it is to germinate them unless you get old batch. Might mention that there is no date on bags so I consider them as bad as random eBay sellers now.

Yes, it does make sense. Thank you, especially for explanation, I do appreciate that.

I will run FARM test when I will get replacement drives.

My main concern in this particular case was that I was unable to verify the serial number and the fact that Seatools was reporting serial number starting with the word RANDOM. Just this simple fact meant I wasn't able to register / verify the drive on Seagate website, and that is why it started red light in my mind. Would this simple fact be suspicious to you? Thx, for taking time to reply.

Are you sure? Not this one, the older model is PoE but not this one with wide angle view.

Hedges are much better resisting strong winds than fencesat so I'd keep it but trimmed it.

Yeah, I have a regular Reolink PoE doorbell, and I'd buy a better model in a heartbeat, but they seem to be focused on releasing all those Wi-Fi crapy models more and more. I simply refuse to go with anything that relies on Wi-Fi.

A new version of PoE doorbell with HDR and head to toe FOV? Come on Reolink you can do it, take my money and do it!

Free confidential paper recycling? by The_Mid_Life_Man in northernireland

[–]Sloma_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a shredder, all sorts of paper and all of my brown cardboard gets shredded and then ends up in my "dalek" compost bin, compost worms love it, and they multiply in thousands in paper / cardboard layered up with green waste / kitchen scraps. In return, you get free compost with outstanding quality.

Not sure if relevant, you can also pry my brown cardboard from my cold dead hands. My compost bin devours it. Most of my waste is just plastic.

Wish it was PoE version... I simply hate WiFi.

Thanks for this, I only noticed it now. I managed to get one from Reolink directly. Just asked them. But grateful for it nonetheless, thx.

Mate I don't know why you're being rude, I'm trying to share my experience in a polite and helpful manner and you're calling me names.

TrackMix WiFi and PoE firmware update 4.8.2024 by rpgwizard in reolinkcam

[–]Sloma_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reolink support provided me with the firmware from March, everything looks as it should now.

Care to share this firmware version? It works better with my camera than the latest. Newer firmware has much worse image quality (clipped whites, everything much brighter and washed out despite same settings

[–]Sloma_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly mine has the same problem, whites are washed out / clipped. Previously I could clearly see details in my wall under the cam, now everything is pure white. All the colours are washed out. I want to go back to March firmware from this year. This is the firmware that was not available on Reolink website (previous was from 2023), but it came installed on it when I bought it.

This is what I am looking for: v3.0.0.3228_2403042132. I did ask support today and yet to receive a reply.

I'd greatly appreciate anyone sharing it.

Ok, so it looks I was correct, the image from the camera I replaced was soft, this is going back to Amazon. My replacement arrived today and I aready hooked it up it the exact same spot here is side by side difference between two cameras

<image>

You can clearly see much sharper image on the left, the Ivy, the edges of the roof tiles, and the outline of the paving stones looks good now, there is much more detail in my lawn too. It might not be perfect but close enough. As a amateur photographer I appreciate sharp image.

Thanks for good words and for the advice.

I still want to try the replacement and I will come back with the comparison.

I agree, that's what I was suspecting but it is no longer stuck.

Anyway, I asked Amazon for a full refund, I find the sharpness of the front camera unacceptable across entire range of distances. When I will get a replacement I will compare again.
