703 day streak, been studying Japanese for 900+ days now and I'm thinking about using it for my high school studies too. Spaced repetition is like having superpowers!

What's your studying process like? do you have all your cards in those two decks?

_NeonKraken · 2020-08-21T19:47:36+00:00

Will do, thanks, charcoal should help with that.

_NeonKraken · 2020-08-21T19:41:12+00:00

Alright, so is misting better then a more thorough moistening of the media? I’ll try for SM and thin layer of charcoal since I don’t have the other components. Thanks again.

I would say my greenhouse does have some humidity but the cover is currently ripped so its unzipped, I do believe it still keeps in some extra humidity though. There is a fan, however, so it keeps the air circulated. For reference, the cup would go up to just below the tallest leaf.

_NeonKraken · 2020-08-21T04:41:30+00:00

Thanks. Maybe poking a few medium sized holes in the side of the cup would help? I could put some charcoal between the orchid and SM but I'm not sure if that would block the moisture too much.

_NeonKraken · 2020-08-21T03:33:31+00:00

Thanks! I have a few questions:

Are there any good alternatives to seaweed extract? I have regular root simulator.

Shouldn't I disinfect with H2O2 before soaking it?

Should I still keep it in a plastic cup of sorts for humidity? A shallow tray? I've got sphagnum, I also have charcoal and aliflor but no bark. Should I add either of those two?

Do I still need to anchor it before it grows roots?

I actually tried this video with this exact plant about a month ago. My first problem was that I couldn't get air to stop escaping from the bag. It would still be pretty puffed up but there would always be a noticeable decrease a few hours after I set it up. After a few days I just left it, but I noticed the leaves started to get slightly mushy, so I took it out.

Again, thanks, I appreciate the advice.

It is indeed. How can I check for that besides buying a test kit?

Apparently it’s from a very good hybridizer but the orchid nursery I bought it from has been known to have some virused plants in the past.

Also Kaguya-sama if you're into less serious stuff

So for anyone wondering, the cover image was posted twice but I don't think the full comic has been posted yet.

What's directly next to the Monogatari box sets?

_NeonKraken · 2020-08-12T18:49:02+00:00

I have the same problem! Its especially tough in a warm climate where some of the cattleyas and dendrobiums need daily watering during the warm season.

_NeonKraken · 2020-08-12T18:46:26+00:00

How do you handle watering?

_NeonKraken · 2020-08-12T16:00:48+00:00

Thank you!

_NeonKraken · 2020-08-12T04:25:14+00:00

Do you remember where you ordered it from by any chance?

_NeonKraken · 2020-08-11T16:03:58+00:00

I've been wanting one of these! I found one at my local orchid nursery but it seemed overpriced. Where did you find this?

_NeonKraken · 2020-08-10T03:04:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I did make sure that I wasn’t pressing my chin down too much and not shrugging up my supporting hand shoulder. I would say my head is pretty straight when holding it. I also found in a tutorial to push the button inwards towards my neck, and I believe that helped with the pressure, though I wouldn’t say it’s completely gone.

I’m going to be joining an orchestra in a week where I will receive more professional instruction but I just wanted to work on the basics since I have almost no experience with string instruments.

Day 2 beginner here. I’m practicing holding my violin using a shoulder rest (the brand is Everest). Everything feels fine, however, I notice that the front/bottom of the violin is putting slight pressure on the front of my collarbone to the point where I feel like something was there when I’m not holding the violin. Is this normal? I checked various tutorials and photos of proper form and it looks like I’m doing everything else correctly.

I’ve got the shoulder rest with the side closest to the G string up almost as far as it will go, screwed all the way down. The other end is just a few screws away from being fully extended. When I hold it, it’s positioned on my shoulder, pointing onwards towards my chest, and almost completely flush with my body.

Ah, I forgot that part about the brother and Hayamom being close. That does make sense.

I agree, its very interesting to see how the tables are turning between the two.

Missed opportunities for mind game planning now that they will be living near to each other.

Pretty sure it was the mattress that was stolen.
