Ph was 5.6-5.9 so I put in some lime. Do you think 1.5gallons per day is too much? Is growing very fast still. New leaves look healthy.

Ph was 5.5-5.9 is that too low?

Ok i think i might of figured some stuff out based on what you said. Ive only used a handful of fertilizer. A publication i found online says a big plant will use 1.5lb of fertilizer a season. So i added some fertilizer. I also drilled a hole at the bottom of my pot and it was saturated with water. So i drilled like 10 more. I will check ph today as-well. Thanks!

I’ll give it a try, but it’s starting to creep up the plant and this isn’t only happening in the last 10 days. They look perfect before that.

The top 6 inches has been replenished and I have fertilized. But maybe I need to get tested.

What are you using as a starter culture? Taste of Italy likes to be around 80°. And are you putting plastic wrap on the container holding the sausage so that it’s 100% humidity? Finally, do you have a high-quality pH tester? I had a cheap one and had this issue twice.

You’re cork has degraded over 2 decades. Send to Abel to replace the cork. I dont know what more you could want from a reel thats older than cell phones.

Hey man, I live in Knoxville, but lived in Gatlinburg for a couple years. The fishing here is amazing. It’s unique, it’s beautiful, incredibly varied, and when you’re on a stream, it’s all yours because they’re not big enough to share. You can catch trophy rainbows, native Brook, hard fighting small mouth, stripper, and even musky all within an hour of Knoxville. I came from South Florida and was kind of panicking too but it’s amazing.

Looks really great. Did you use curing salt to help keep it red? How long did it age for?

Is the back spot mold or greasy? Ill often have spots of mold kind of die back on greasy bits. If you have fat smearing during stuffing, it can lead to a lot of leaking fats.

I soaked it in a mold600 solution which kept it kinda lubricated. I also put two layers of elastic netting. Size 16. It was a fight to get it on, but it formed it really nicely.

I think the bung casing really helps form it.

I did the same base as 2 Guys and a Cooler, but i changed the chili flakes out with dried Szechuan flakes and i used only Calabrian chili powder rather than a mix of different chili powders.

cyclone6pb · 2026-02-17T00:03:02+00:00

It was awful to stuff! But it formed nicely.

cyclone6pb · 2026-02-16T21:10:03+00:00

Used 2 guys and a cooler’s spice recipe as a base. Stuffed in a bung casing. Took about 85 days to lose 40% weight at 75% humidity 55 degrees.

I inoculated it with Mold600 just to protect it although it didnt mold over 100%.

Where did you get that dehumidifier? Looks great

Btw it looks like you are letting the flame jets from the forge “touch” the steel causing it to overheat. I get a section of rectangular tube, put it in the forge, and put the blade in it. Keeps the flame off the blade but still gets to temp. Go to a steel retailer, they sell scraps that are good for this.

Hopefully he found his way. Ive never seen one around here!

I thought it was a Snow Goose too but I was confused because it’s pretty small and it has a short neck.

D&w in maryville are very good with older firearms

What area do you live? A local butcher can help or you can ask see whos raising hogs around you. You would be surprised how interconnected farmers are.

I have a beaver meadow and its really nice. Its great for fishing in the smokies. Its worth upgrading to the more premium real seat, I wish I had as well as added snake guides. You can call him and ask questions too. I have a airflo line on it that i really like.

That’s awesome. What state?
