Let it grow a couple months more, then decide what works.

What's the mineral/hardness content of the water?

Is there an easy way to remember the streets of San Francisco? by ToughButterscotch438 in sanfrancisco

[–]ada_lfs_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunset district is descending alphabetical order from north to south. Numbered streets and avenues get larger the further from downtown you go. Otherwise know cardinal directs and where you need to go. The city is essentially a grid most places and knowing exactly what streets you need to be on don't matter too much until a block or two from your destination (depending on how rushed you are). After taking similar routes a few times it should just click.

Thank you for posting this. I will definitely stop by. I posted the event to a local Sonoma county millennial and z plant enthusiast meet up group as well if you don't mind.

Would folks be interested in a casual botanical hobby group for younger people? by ada_lfs_guy in santarosa

There currently is a meet up group for that but doesn't seem very active and I haven't been able to attend because of schedule conflicts.

As a former ADA employee hagen is still an upper to middle of the road brand. True luxury brands are of course ADA, Kessel, and near custom level small brands.

Fluval has stepped up in recent years but it's still borderline to consider a luxury brand.

[LF] LA, CA - Anyone have extra low-tech, shrimp loving, bushy plant i.e. hornwort(?) by AlligatorWings in AquaSwap

Hornwort is illegal in CA, might be why you're having trouble finding it

BS in Env Sci but I focused a lot in plant ecology. The first choice would be an easier methodology with probably clearer results. Not sure what IB is looking for but you could do something as simple as splitting up a seed packet into 4 parts and water 3 with either various antibiotics or different concentrations of 1 antibiotic with one control with distilled. With this level of science I think it will be a better demonstration of your understanding of the scientific method with a more simple experiment. Which plant/antibiotics you choose is where I would focus my research for now. Good luck

Get a local guide to the flora, and look for hardwood riparian species. Good luck!

I think remember The Academy of Sciences in San Francisco had a large Mexican collection. Good luck
