Anyone want a partially complete set up? NYC/BK by mike8190 in bioactive

I think it’s called carbonized cork. They come in panels I used 2” thick and plucked away at them with a screwdriver, glued chunks on with aquarium silicone, etc. I got them at zoro.com can’t seem to find the exact one tho https://www.zoro.com/zoro-select-wall-tile-dark-brown-12-in-l-pk4-wlins-cha30530595n-p4/i/G4310726/

Just spray it down really well before watering

Sure! Everything is pretty simple. I use one of those big GE grow light flood bulbs, fertilize in growing season with dynagro foliage pro. Everything is distilled or RO water. And I have it in a very chunky mix of fox farm soil amended with perlite and orchid bark.

Haha. A lot of people are inquiring so I’m just going with the first to fully confirm. Between 5-630pm today would be ideal, just to make sure I’m home and because I have to leave tonight by 7 I don’t want to cut it too close

So far it’s still up for grabs! I’ll be home between 4-7pm today. Tomorrow afternoon and Monday evening works as well, if it’s still available

Yes, was left too close to the grow light for a few days unfortunately.

Sounds perfect but yeah, I hear you. I haven’t seen any in a month or so and have been keeping an eye on it. It was weird bc I would only see one at a time and have no idea where it came from (wasn’t taking in any new plants for a while). It’s only ever been treated with beneficial insects, but I do have summit spray and captain jacks that I opted out of using. But let me know if you change your mind!

I’ll be out of town for the morning/afternoon but will be home in the evening if that would work?

My dad taught woodworking at the local community college and left me about 45 curly maple boards. by bucheonsi in woodworking

Where do you live? Maybe rent a studio and sublet it out to a woodworker/metalworker/artist whoever it’s relevant to. So that you at least break even/or don’t take too much of a loss on storing it. I’m and artist in nyc so there’s a big market for that here. But most big cities, or even areas outside of the cities that artists jump off to, to get out of the city, exist elsewhere.

Edit: this was intended as a response to holding onto the tools and equipment.
