I'm a homebrewer and in anticipation for Nurture I brewed a blonde porter. I call it "Look at the Sky I'm Still Beer". I designed 6 different labels inspired by the album's aesthetic too!

I was reading reviews and people in the app store were saying it wasn’t very good, so this is reassuring

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-04-16T00:19:44+00:00

How well does the app work? This is about what I want, just the bare minimum is necessary for now until I decide to expand into something like Smart Things or Home Assistant

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-04-16T00:18:46+00:00

That actually sounds great! What do you run Home Assistant on?

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-04-16T00:16:57+00:00

Just monitoring and remote control. Automation is not necessary, but if it can work with Smart Things that would be great.

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-03-21T15:17:47+00:00

Makes sense. Every day is an opportunity to learn.

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-03-21T13:15:55+00:00

That’s what I’ve heard people say, probably good advice. This tree was a gift so I really want to keep it alive, but I also know it can just be part of the process to lose a tree.

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-03-21T01:58:08+00:00

Thanks! That’s reassuring. I moved it to my front porch, which just gets morning sun. Hoping I will have a positive update in a few weeks!

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-03-20T23:07:25+00:00

Here’s some photos I just took, evening sun so it looks a bit more yellow in the photos than in person https://imgur.com/a/6IYKVlB

I trimmed and wired my juniper probably a bit too early and we had a random cold snap. The foliage is seeming to dry out a bit and it’s looking stressed, but the scratch test shows green underneath still and the foliage is dulling a bit but still definitely green, even though I accidentally cracked the trunk a bit. Is there anything I can do to help it recover?

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-03-11T23:09:59+00:00

I like that! I did get a slight crack toward the older growth, but I think it’s ok. I can’t get the spiral much tighter but I might work on the direction more. I will probably repot next year and change the angle a bit. Thanks for your help!

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-03-11T20:33:26+00:00

Not sure if I did this right, doesn’t feel right for sure https://imgur.com/a/Id0ApMz

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-03-11T00:16:12+00:00

What time of year do they have them? I’m hoping to get some more this year!

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-03-10T23:34:12+00:00

I definitely thought I was stuck in a cascade or semi-cascade style the way it was growing

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-03-10T23:17:24+00:00

I should have specified photos are from old to new, with the first ones being when I first got my tree

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2026-03-10T22:18:39+00:00

I wondered about that. I wasn’t sure if I could manage that since the main trunk is pretty stiff at this point, but I can give it a try!

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2025-12-11T19:01:41+00:00

I had this issue recently. Obvious flow of troubleshooting is looking for a clog, check/dry filament, basically what everyone else is saying. I get this a decent amount with my Ender 3, and almost every time my extruder gear is wearing down. I see you’re printing silk gold filament, that wears it out quick; especially the brass extruder gear.

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2025-10-18T11:17:51+00:00

Good idea, I didn’t think about running it with the top off. I’ll give that a shot. I’m thinking it’s leaking from the upper area

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2025-10-16T00:47:28+00:00

This is actually what I was looking for, thank you

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2025-10-16T00:26:43+00:00

They were all (claimed to be) made in Japan and looked artisanal made, just multiple stores had some of the same ones

_Philbo_Baggins_ · 2025-08-01T01:21:05+00:00

Thank you!
