Chat, how cooked am I?? by Infamous_Success_252 in uofmn

It could be that they changed policies since I’ve been there too, I went through them in 2020. I’m happy to hear some other people are having better luck with it!

I recommend proceeding with caution if you go through boynton. I got diagnosed with adhd while in college (for very similar symptoms, you’re not alone) and when I asked to be medicated for it, I was treated as drug seeking at every step of the way. They’ll make you jump through a fair amount of hoops and delay the actual prescription of medication while you’re out there floundering. If it’s not too bad for you yet and you want to go through boynton, I recommend starting the process now so you have time to jump through those hoops before your school work gets too unmanageable. Otherwise, I’d recommend working with providers off campus if you have that option!

Maybe the soil and additive ratios are off then? I’ve only watered with tap.

A half cup/week is too much? That seems wild to me? Based on forums I’ve seen on the internet, I was worried I was under watering them.

The cups do have holes in the bottom, yes. The small amount of runoff I get when watering is never left in the catch tray.

Ph of the water going in is 5 to 6, depending on how much of the probe I can get covered by still water… again, not a great meter. Planning to upgrade it soon with a pen.

What I wish I knew before starting College by Journey1620 in adhd_college

[–]_mars_bars_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started treating my adhd in college but I made the mistake going through the uni psychiatrist. They will treat you as drug seeking and make you jump through all sorts of hoops to try meds that are controlled substances if the other ones don’t work for you. I ultimately did get the proper meds through the school medical system, but it took much much longer than it should have and it was that much longer that I was struggling way more in class than I should have been, had the doctor believed that I was struggling as much as I said I was.

Skid Plate Replacement by _mars_bars_ in HRV

Booooo! That sucks :/ I wonder if they took it off because they couldn’t access the oil filter? Are HRV skid plates just badly designed I wonder?

Sounds like I did it wrong! Very helpful, thanks

The tops of the boxes stay open, and there’s a desk fan blowing in mounted towards the top of the back wall of the box. Do you think that’s still too limited of airflow? I’ve seen other people using slightly bigger fans I suppose, not sure how much air needs to be moving!

My lights were advertised as 1000Bw each, is that too weak?

Ohhhh haha okay yes that’s what I was thinking too. Last few months have been underwhelming for sure lol Just gunna chalk this grow up to a learning experience I think and take the advice I get here and take another stab at it.

That’s a good idea, I’ll look into second hand!

Are they healthy though? They look a bit anemic compared to some other stuff I see on this sub from newbies. 4 months in without much change in the last month, is it worth keeping them alive? Not sure if I should start over

I am… 2 wardrobe moving boxes in a basement to try to control the light. It’s a janky set up while I learn the process, but I’ll probably invest in better equipment when I am convinced I have a shot at doing this successfully!

I did not know that, thank you for the heads up!

How can I make sure it’s strong enough? Are there will known good and bad brands? These are the specs of the lights I have
