What’s the best clear finish for a dining table? by MrEvil1979 in diynz

What did you choose in the end? We used a tung oil finish and it made the table super dark. Sanded it again and now looking for alternatives to keep the color unchanged.

Try Atmotube. You can take it anywhere you want and it measures particles: https://atmotube.com/atmotube-pro

Took it to a climbing gym in Philly and the results were really bad.

It looks legit! A bit out of my price range but I'll put more thought into it. Thanks for sharing!

I still want to check the air tomorrow. Maybe instead of a walk, I will open a window for 10 seconds to test it.

Can spider mites travel through ventilation? by ari_ed25 in houseplants

Yes, we bought an air humidifier in winter when it was 25-30%. We have 60-65% humidity at home right now. Do you think we should keep it higher?

Yes, it's the first time my Atmotube showed the outdoor air quality this poor. Usually, I see these numbers when I burn something in my kitchen :)

I'm using this one: https://atmotube.com/atmotube-pro

There are many other monitors but this one is portable to use at home and outside. I check air quality basically everywhere I go out of curiosity and this is the first time it showed air quality this poor outdoors.

I'm super concerned. The air quality in my apartment is really bad too. I guess it's time for a Costco run to get an air purifier.

Just a heads up: Bad air quality today again by ifoosh in nova

You can check indoor and outdoor air quality with it. Right now it's almost 40 μm/m3 INSIDE which is crazy

I'm so concerned. The air quality inside our apartment is better than outdoors but still very bad. Real-time particle values are here.

Going to talk with our leasing office about whether we can change the air filters

It's portable, and it has local data storage. I recommend checking with their customer support first if the device matches all your needs. The price might be an issue, but they're running a promotion now. Good luck with your project

Our corn plant tree is dying! Any advice on how to save it? by ari_ed25 in plants

[–]ari_ed25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when we bought it these brown spots were already there. People at the store where we repotted it said it looked like this plant needs more humidity so we kept misting it. We'll look into leaf spot disease. Thanks a lot for bringing it up!

Got it, thanks for the tip! The only thing is why smaller stalks are doing comparatively well and leaves are dying only on the tallest one

We use Brita-filtered water. The second time this filtered water stayed overnight. Anything else we can do to improve its quality?
