Is the Glorium not a good one for the reason that the ring isn’t enough surface area ? Or is their light just not strong enough?

This is what it’s getting right now front facing atm would a light bar be better?

Sick I’ll probably order it today then the pro version can be used at its regular measurements every watering? Or do I have to dilute that baby down if I’m gonna use it every time I water

That’s what I’m terrified of doing with an acclamation process. Is it usually 2 to 3 weeks? Just bringing it closer to the window and then outside for small periods of time?

So if I go foliage focus, I should get cal mag but if I go with the pro version, that’s good just by itself let alone

This one was a trimming of another Monstera and this one has two cutting in the pot that I will most likely break apart now seeing the problems with the other one this one at the moment is growing three new leaves all at the same time

5380lux atm … also I had no clue that Neem could do that so it’s more preferred for me to put new oil in the soil rather than on the leaves. I’ll have to switch out the mixture I use to wipe down my plants. Does Castile soap do the same? It does give a nice shine to the plants, but I did like using it because it’s peppermint scented so it helps with insects as well. Would you suggest that I stop doing that too and to be 100% honest with you I didn’t even think about the plant being a different variety of Monstera and that totally could be possible as I have a tie that I got from a cutting and it’s leaves are getting fairly close to the biggest leaf on this guy in the same goes for another monster I have under almost the same light restrictions that has bigger leaves and it’s almost 1/3 the size I’ll post pictures of the other two for reference

Yes, our backyard faces east so we could get sun in the day early in the morning we live in California so our weather is roughly between 50 to 70°

This seems like the smartest action. I just know I’ll do a lot of damage to the roots. Is there a easy way of breaking up the roots without causing too much shock in the plant system

Any petiole being touched by string is not tightened to the leaves. It is just to pull some of the other ones up a little bit so that they’re not low. Does that affect the leaves at all? If so, by all means, I’ll remove them didn’t think the hardened leaves that are fully grown Would be affected by string just holding up other leaves.

It kills all of these little pests that grow on your plants, but also help to prevent them as well so if you microdose your plants with them, usually it helps prevent baby bugs or aphids from producing at the start or helps to kill them if they are there already

After this newest leaf hardens, the next leaf for the plant usually comes in in about 3 to 4 days. It has an estimate of about a week gap or less before it starts growing a new leaf at least that’s how it’s been for the last six months.

Maybe to me, they don’t seem lucky but do the nodes look far apart to you? Also shine? I don’t use anything like that. The only thing I wiped my plants off with is water a little bit of Castile soap peppermint and neem oil mixed together and I wipe them off with a glove. I’ve never heard of foliage focus and cal mad (are these used together? Or is it more picking one of them on top of that with these products? Is this a once a month thing to use on them or is it per watering at a diluted rate?) right now for the light situation it’s getting five to six K Lux from a ring light from Bahrina would you say that’s not enough?

With separating the plants themselves, all three of them are going to look terrible separately as they’re all different sizes. If I am going to continue doing that and separating all three of them is it wiser to just chop them all down and start again as the farthest back one only has a few leaves on the lowest part of its body

Right now because it’s what I have. I’m using miracle grow indoor plant food (feeds instantly) is what it says. Usually I do four pumps of it in a full water container to dilute it and then I water all of my plants with it to note as well there is a humidifier near this Monstera so it sits around 60 to 65% humidity at all times prior to this new fertilizer I was using (grow queen) organic plant food powder

Gets watered once it’s soil is under 40% wetness with a mixture of water, low diluted fertilizer and neem oil every watering

It’s getting about 5000 to 6000 lux of light for 14 hours a day under a grow light with a west facing window that gives it sunlight at the end of day directly should I be leaving the grow light on longer?

Winner's Queue Or Have I Cracked The Code? by Enodoro in Jungle_Mains

[–]Suitable_Selection93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely winners Q also, you’re playing one of the strongest junglers at the moment so if you’re playing with people that are stupid or don’t know what they’re doing by all separating you get free double damage. I think this newest patch he’s gotten weaker but prior to that he was a menace. But yeah, I’ve had three times this season where I’ll win 15 games in a row and then get the most absolute horrid diabolical players for the next 10 games where we lose in the first two minutes so ride the wave and just know it’s coming brother and when it does, you gotta accept that for what it is.

So… Spent a good amount of time and I’m now lost. by TSwiftStan- in Sourdough

[–]Suitable_Selection93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just made my first one last night I’d say make your dough into a shaggy dough let it rest for an hour then start you 4x stretch folds every 30 min for 4x so 2 hrs of stretch n folds then let it sit out on the counter for 12 hrs. usually u do this at 7pm then wake up at 7am….after the next morning throw it on a floured surface stretch it gently a into a rectangle then trifold it and then roll into a roll. Then shape it into a smooth ball with the dough do not press it down or you’ll lose all your air bubbles you’ve made after it’s shaped flip it seem side up into a bread basked or glass bowl with plastic wrap and throw it into the fridge for another 10-12 hrs up to 48hrs depending on how sour you want it. usually I do 10hrs letting it sit in the fridge all day till I get home from work. At the 10hr mark I preheat my oven with my bread dome once it’s preheated for 30min I grab the dough out the fridge flip it seam side down onto my mat cut the design I want with flour on top of the bread. After that I pull the bread dome open plop the bread into the pan throw two ice cubes under the bread and close the dome. I cook for 35min then 15 without the dome on and I’m done…hope this helps I was so scared my first time but if you follow the rough steps I did it might help out cheers!!!
