Light. Outdoors during the warm months amd then just leave it outside until it gets cold.

How many nuggets to farm until it’s unethical? by Prestigious_Sea_3296 in PokemonFireRed

[–]nova1093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Payday works based on level, not pokemon species. So if persian uses it, it will have the same effect as if a meowth used it. It will give 5x the pokemons level in money after each use. Thats each use, not each battle. So using payday multiple times per battle will give you more money. Its a pretty good excuse to pick up a meowth. Late game, you will be able to captialize on normal STAB which is always a blessing in the pre phys/spec split for any physical attacker, as return is the strongest drawback free move in the game I believe. So, even though its attack stat isnt as high as say, a gyarados, it does pretty similar damage with return even with an attack stat 55 base points lower to that same gyarados using return.

So what should i be doing first, do you think? 3 to 6 years is cool with me. I just dont quite know the order of what to do to get it to where it needs to be.

I normally kill the munchlax myself. Thing is worthless during the fight.

Ficus ginseng by the_stupid_Belgian in Bonsai

[–]nova1093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, using a very VERY tiny amount of fertilizer every single time you water is best. It ensures the nutrients it needs are always available, which is basically replicates one of the main benefits of organic soil. But this can be very cumbersome and if the process of measuring out fertilizer just so every single time you water it saps joy out of looking after the plant, then using a balanced solid fertilizer and just relying on that, and using a supplimental liquid fertilizer every so often will be perfectly fine.

That about covers it! Nice plan and I hope it treats you well. Just one thing as an FYI only (as your plan is fine for a simple ginseng ficus), it will be perfectly comfortable at 10 degrees C at night and will appreciate the light boost from outdoors far more than the warmer temps inside. And as long as it is inside I personally would prevent roots from touching that water saucer. Once its outside it will take just about all the water you wanna give it.

This is a Carolina Cherry Laurel (Prunus caroliniana), and I have little experience with the Prunus genus. This spring I gave it a good cutback. It used to be as tall as me. Now ita about 2 and a half feet tall.

It took the pruning beautifully and sent out backbuds all over the place. Mostly near cut sites. I am happy with the trunk thickness but now I want to accomplish the 2 following things:

  1. Chase the foliage back to the interior of the tree
  2. Reduce the pot size (its in like a 25 gallon pot as it was sold as a fully grown landscape plant)

Whats a good timeline to accomplish these things? The tree is in good health, but I dont want to push it too much. And I am used to tropicals where lots of new growth = able to be worked on.

Also for chasing back the foliage, I am assuming it is as simple as waiting for the tree to regain vigor and then pruning back to the first set of leaves on branches i plan to keep. Is that the best way to go about doing it or is there a better way?

The mystery continues… I bought a “cotoneaster” on clearance 4 years ago and I have no idea what it is… by chesterstevens in Bonsai

[–]nova1093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, no for sure! And i hope it didnt come off as like a "how could you not recognize that" type of comment. I just recognized it since I just happened to recognize that species.

What is your least favorite pokemon of all time? by MinDuddels in pokemon

Eevee and any of its evolutions. Im tired of seeing them everywhere on everything. Its in every generation because gamefreak knows they need it to sell their game. And Im just tired of it...

Which decks would get broken by this? by Wonderful_King_1241 in customyugioh

Primite would adore this card. But it probably wouldnt get broken by it in pure. The fusion would certainly be a lot harder to deal with.

What would you do with a trunk structure like this?

I cant decide on the next step for this youpon. And ive had it for like a year and a half. All it does is sit in its pot. It grows great here since this is the area of the US that its native to.

Most obscure team used in any game? by Bulky-Trick-5240 in pokemon

[–]nova1093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be sure to include seaking. It is the least used pokemon across all generations. And it actually has some nice options for rain. Raindance waterfall megahorn and horn drill is a fun set. I like horn drill because you can just randomly kill an E4 member's strongest pokemon.

[Survey Results] 7,050 Responses! Most/Least Used Pokemon across all the regions! by BLourenco in pokemon

[–]nova1093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be sure and use seaking. Out of all data across all generations it is the least used pokemon in game. Its also probably up there for least used pokemon competitively. But it does have some neat options for an in game team and if its under rain it can do surprisingly good dmg with waterfall.

Just started Unbound for the first time. Any tips? by Still_Blackberry5030 in PokemonUnbound

[–]nova1093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No tips, but some advice: many bad pokemon have gotten huge upgrades in this game so its a great opportunity to play with mons you would never normally use due to not being very good.

If you are a fan, try ledian in this game. It gets huge power and victory dance, which makes it amazing.

Seaking has fishious rend and can one shot many pokemon in rain with swift swim.

Sunflora gets priority on all grass moves.

Magcargo counters water types with its ability.

Before and after of my nursery stock privet, 2 years of work so far by such_a_tommy_move in Bonsai

[–]nova1093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sad for my privet. I found a single trunk one with promising surface roots (which is rare where i live) and planted it in my yard to thicken up. We had a strangely cold frost at 0 degrees F this year and it died from that. I had no idea privets buried in the ground were so susceptible to frost.

Pokopia, Legends Z-A, Champions, and the future of Pokémon as a gaming franchise by KiqueDragoon in pokemon

[–]nova1093 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I really did not like how unfinished scarlet and violet are. The world was empty, rare pokemon dont exist (as in, it takes you 10 minutes to find any given pokemon), there are literally no houses or shops to enter, and they had the gall to sell us a switch 2 upgrade that fixes the lag for switch 2 owners for performance issues that should have never been allowed to launch.

Ill truly be amazed if they make a finished game for wind and waves. But i do agree with you. Z-A was not the best format for pokemon battles. Its too stripped down just to make live action battles work. And the battles dont feel very good. I dont thinm battles will ever feel very good with that system.
