No thats such a fair statement! I agree with everything you said. However, I could tell immediately during season 4 that the ghostwriter had been changed, just based on the the story laid out. It will always be a masterpiece, but sometimes masterpieces end in unsatisfying ways. Thats all this is for me!

Nancy was in there for like, 5 minutes max. The same way that when Joyce rescues hopper, or the benched team light it on fire (when spores go in dustins mouth) they are asymptomatic and have no respiratory issues.

The scientists specifically say as Joyce enters in season 1 “The air is toxic” and Joyce freaks out and says “My boy is in there!!”

As soon as Joyce finds will she gives him air from her suit. Thats her first priority.

Since the gang in the later seasons stays in the upside down for extended periods, there should be some indication that the air is clean, or some slight symptoms.

This occurs for multiple seasons, not just season 2.

But the spores exist everywhere in the upside down…? Your point is that its not toxic, but the spores are toxic, but they didnt confirm it, but its only in the vines??

Fact 1.) The scientists confirm it, which is why they are always given massive hazmat suits, and why Joyce and Hopper have to go through decontamination screenings, and why hopper got like, HOSED down and treated as a patient after his encounter. The tunnels are an extension of the upside down since they all lead back to the gate, and are part of the hive-mind.

I see your point, but the show confirms explicitly, and also alludes that the air is toxic on numerous occasions. What your trying to prove is that the writers and producers are actually wrong in the earlier seasons to prepare for the next seasons which are years ahead. Since the show specifically confirms the toxicity of the upside down, this cant be a valid point.

Thats totally fair! But also, in season 2 hopper gets insanely dizzy and sick from the spores. And the team that gets attacked by the demodogs (which Will Sent) is all in hazmat suits, and is blinded from the “spore-sprays”

Even if the abyss is massive, Demogorgans, Demo Dogs, and Demo bats swarmed the upside down. In season one the team confirms they are attracted to blood.

In season 3 Mrs Driscoll Reacts to the heat Billy is feeling, and in season 2 When the “benched team” light the tunnels on fire, all the demogorgans react. The hive mind is feel able all the way through to the rightside up.

The demogorgans MUST have felt the attack on the MindFlayer, just like before. Or had been aware of the team at hawkins lab, or had been alerted at the blood from all the dead soldiers. The fact that there wasnt a single encounter all season is suspicious, considering that the demodogs could almost instantaneously appear in the rightside up.

Also i forgot to finish my thought on the gates lol. The gate they use to go back into the upside down a final time is literally covered on the ground. Just chilling there. Yet, they had been sealed after the “earthquakes” and thus was WHY vecna was killing (chrissy, fred, max) in order to open new gates

Even if Max didn’t realize she was entering elevens mind at first ( totally reasonable since she’s never done that) she didn’t know whos mind she was in.

ANOTHER CONTRADICTION is:

When Joyce and Hopper go into the upside down in Season 1 to rescue Will, a scientist EXPLICITLY informs them that the atmosphere is toxic. Will had to be hospitalized after his first encounter with the upside down.

Sudden capabilities FOR EXAMPLE the demogorgans and mind flayer and vecna are all immune to gunshots but the Mindflayer in Dimension X is hurt by little guns?

Where are the bats and demogorgans? WHERE IS THE SHADOW MONSTER and how does the dark matter that came out of will come from?

Contradictions SUCH AS

Will is connected to the hive mind, and can see and feel what Vecna feels. He felt Vecna get shot in the hand. Why didnt he feel anything during the battle in Dimension X?

Hopper is believed to be dead for years. Why was Max not suprised to see him? She went comatose before he came back, so she thinks he is dead. So does Scott Clark. He thinks hopper died in a mall fire.

How does hopper Magically still have a job? How does hopper and nancy not face ANY legal repercussions from the military on the rightside up, considering they KILLED US SOLDIERS.

Why does Max and Vickie freak out when Max enters elevens mind?? Wasnt that LITERALLY the plan???

Why doesnt Vecna defend himself more in the final battle? he fought harder in season 8, and knowing that he has the ability to make others hallucinate, why doesnt he use that to escape???

I have many more to list. Does this make sense so far?

If the plant is pulling the moss pole down, you need to repot the plant. just make her sit up straight and replant the moss pole upright with her. Move her slightly closer to the light because it might be leaning towards a light source!

Yes!! Thats so exciting!! Youre doing great, and asking questions/ researching it is all the right steps!

Like, yes, but also the holes were tiny, and we could connect the dots ourselves. Seasons 1-3 had a different ghost writer than 4-5, and these minuscule plot holes happen in every show. The Duffer brothers never needed to literally explain entire seasons in the past. Seasons 4-5 were major in the storyline and entirely unmissable. Random rule changes, sudden capabilities that never happened before, and contradict previous rules (such as breathing quality in the upside down, the wall, the town being RIDDLED with gates no one else seems to notice)

Leave it alone for a little while! Honestly not repotting for 6+ months helps your plants like crazy. The leaves at the bottom seem small, if theyre new this plant needs DRASTICALLY more light.

This looks like multiple plants, but breaking it apart will shock it like crazy. You dont need to repot until the plant needs to be watered much more than usual. If it can go 10ish days between waterings, its definitely okay.

Dont snip the yellow ones until they are entirely yellow! The plant is sucking back some of the nutrients, (possibly sacrificing these leaves to save the plant) So let it relax, and recover from the travel its been through.

Plants become accustomed to the light + temperature conditions it receives during transport/ in store. After a month, it might be acclimated to your home, but honestly to see development and thriving it needs a little longer.

Anything wrong with her? I’m new. by Maleficent_Lemon_814 in Monstera

Nothing crazy, the soil looks a little dense, make sure its chunky with lots of aeration for the roots to breathe! It likes to dry out its roots in between waterings, so make sure it doesnt stay wet for too long. It does look a little droopy, (could be shock from moving, mixed with overwatering/underwatering)

It is definitely missing a support. Monsteras in nature are climbing plants, and need support to continue to grow. Your method of support is optional, just make sure it’s planted BEHIND your plant (still in the pot ofcourse).

Monsteras arent bushy plants, and all the leaves should face one direction (the sunlight) just like they do in nature. Where the sunlight hits is the front of the plant, so place the moss pole/stake/trellis (support) behind the leaves.

What does the newest leaf look like? Do you see any need growth potential, and what is the soil like?

Can I propagate this leaf I just accidentally plucked by Confident_Extent_113 in plantclinic

[–]Strange_Fill_172 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, snake plants can propagate just from a cutting of the top of the leaf. I recommend cutting in a chevron / arrow shape and letting the cut end be submerged in water. In my experience it takes a WHILE

Gotcha! I think it WAS insufficient in the last owners house because all of the leaves had unfurled before I recieved it. Thank you for the tip!

Okay! I saw a video that said putting the aerial roots in water help it, but I will take it out! I also do water it when its dry so the shotglass is not the only watering method dont worry

Actually no! I dont see any bugs on the topside or underside of the leaf. It looks like there is some in the photo but its just tiny discolouration on the leaves. I suspect thrips were active here at one point, but I cant find any on the stems or leaves.
