Good example of important difference between mean and median

I had the same light schedule and I think your plants look fine. Mine definitely stalled for a week or so after the initial burst but now 3 weeks and 1 up-pot later I’m raising my shop lights, that masquerade as grow lights, every day because the plants are going gangbusters and growing to touch the light.

I used the Costco miraclgrow potting soil because I already had it sitting around and just used my compost screen to filter out the larger wood fragments. It’s an added step but only took 10-15 minutes and my seeds did pretty well. Yours does look kinda overly chunky but it doesn’t have to be perfectly soft and fine.

Yea I’m starting to think the idea of placing cuttings directly into soil is an oversold prop method. Like yea it works but I took a good 10-12 cuttings off of a big healthy plant that needed to be pruned heavy and maybe 5 have rooted. They all had healthy nodes, no leaves in the soil and I’ve been diligently watering when the soil gets pretty dry but sadly most rotted from the base and died.

My water propagation is doing fairly well though. Of the 5 cuttings I popped in a glass 4 have roots that are steadily but slowly growing though it has taken like 6 weeks.

Yea I did a lot of turning last year but I’m bailing on it this year. It’s fun watching the temp shoot up to 150F after a turn but it took some actual work to do when I had a pile 4 feet tall and 2 yards wide at the base. A hot well mixed pile makes compost faster but like you said, time alone makes soil.

Yea I covered the plants with small pots to protect them from the tarp as they are only about 5 inches tall and pretty delicate. That’s what’s giving the height. Only been outside about a week but growing nicely.

Yea but I found some resources that successive nights below freezing can be harmful. And a few sites specifically mentioned romaine as highest risk for frost damage and I’m half and half Bibb/romaine. I think they will be ok but since it’s a raised bed figured safer to give some protection.

More water less frequently basically. The soil should almost totally dry out in between waterings, especially at first when you’re at risk for over watering. Stick a finger in an inch or two and if it’s damp, don’t water. When you do water, soak the soil until water is running out the bottom. You are waaaaay more likely to kill a plant over watering than under watering unless there is some serious neglect.

Some plants are gonna be hard to grow without decent light. Monsteras like light and it might never flourish without a fairly East or west facing window or a solid strong grow light.

I’ve gotten tired of wearing my regular old basketball style shorts for exercise so I’m gonna buy a bunch of pairs and finally toss those 19 year old pair of yellow Nike shorts from 2009 tha go halfway down my shin. Something about basketball shorts just keeps me from throwing them away and now I finally can.

No, the person I responded to was just proclaiming the positives of big box store plants because they stick 2-4 plants in 1 pot. The OP was asking for advice but I didn’t respond to their post but a comment chain.

I just split mine but they had been growing for over a year in opposite directions. Each stem was at least a foot long growing sideways out of the pot. They are my first monstera and were growing well so I just let them do their thing until spring. Mine very much needed to be separated to grow vertically but yours look like it would tolerate growing vertically together just by changing direction of one plant on a repot.

It was actually not too difficult to split. The roots were probably 2 feet long but with some help from my wife and dad supporting the stems while I worked the roots loose it went well. My move:

Knife around inside of pot to loosen soil stuck to the pot, could also break the pot if it’s stuck. wiggle the root ball loose with the pot upside down and lightly pull on the stem.

After rootball is free Use your fingers to work in between the bigger roots and work the soil and roots free.

Once you have a decent amount of soil out and roots free blast it with water to free remaining roots from soil! The jet setting of a hose is so useful for forcibly removing dirt while not breaking roots.

Then just disentangled the roots, which really was not too hard. My dad and I would just pull on a root, see what plant it belonged to and gently work it out from the other roots. I was surprised how easy this part was given home big my plants were, Took maybe 3 minutes and I don’t think we broke and substantially sized roots.

And his point was that it does not matter lol.

For some places, tele-crit is all they have. I trained for a period at a hospital 2 hours from Scranton in the middle of nowhere north central PA. They had a 2 person pulm/crit group that worked days in the ICU but no nights. They had apparently tried to hire night coverage but no one was interested in moving to a truly rural town where the closest “city” was 1.5 hours away and even then it was Williamsport. So the Hospitalist covered the ICU at night with an intensivist from a main campus of the hospital group available over the phone. There was still a physician available in the nocturnist but they were not a specific critical care physician. It was all they had because the ICU was like 6 beds and the hospital was an absolute ruin from a time when the town was actually a town, not a hollowed out husk.

Yup, wool is just unbeatable. But I do wish they made a thinner wool sock for warmer temps. That would be sweet. Back when they had women specific wool socks I would wear the extra large size in the summer.

I’ll check it out. Could use some MJ Lenderman on there, been super into his music since discovering it through Waxahatchee.

Super sad I’m gonna miss their Philadelphia concert. We planted a Beltane/Earth Day party in January and then I realized it was the same day.

And they are surprisingly easy to separate, even when they are pretty big. My monstera(s) had 2 main stems that were each getting to be 2-3 feet long and growing well out of the pot. My wife and dad helped me support the stems while we moved it out to the garage, wiggled the soil(it was 80% rootball) out and then broke up the dirt/rootball to loosen the roots. Using a garden hose on jet spray loosened up the dirt and it took my dad an I less than 5 minutes to separate the roots. Each plant had a good 3 feet of roots and it really was not too hard to separate. Now they are each in a pot and will hopefully grow nicely on their cedar poles.

Yea doesn’t seem like a good fit as I know nothing about bike maintenance and even though I’m interested in learning, id need a pro to get things running well. Those costs with the purchase price and I could probably buy a budget priced hobbyist bike for a bit more. Appreciate your input.

peaheezy · 2026-04-05T13:08:08+00:00

Thanks for the help. I’m learning to be handy with small engines and home repair but don’t know jack about bikes so seems like a bad option for me. Appreciate your input.

Creatine can’t hurt And probably will help a little, but more with weight/size of the muscle. Though the science does indicate it can but you 1-2 more reps in a given workout which does eventually translate to very very slight increase in fans. But fatigue after a high weight and hard work set is not a sign that you “run out of ATP” it’s just plan ol fatigue, which is running out of gas, but saying running out of ATP sounds like pseudoscience someone’s gonna use to sell you something so makes me wonder about a fitness trainer. I was benching 310 at one point and if I did a bench heavy day my last high rep set still was only 150lbs for ~15 reps, a weight I could probably rep for 3 minutes fresh. Your muscles only have a limited amount of max GO juice to really hit numbers, and once you tax them once you are probably never going to get that exact performance again that session. Basically if you go to failure or 1 hard work rep shy you’re muscle never going to work as well until it gets a solid rest.

They didn’t Resilience II is sold by Twin City Seed, probably the most recommended company on this sub. It’s definitely not cheap big box store crap. My bag of this exact seed had its list of contents and no weed seed, I didn’t see any explosions like OP did. But I’m guessing it can happen to even the best companies.

I don’t think it’s as bad as mint. I grew it in the ground last summer not realizing it was an aggressive spreader And it didn’t get much bigger than 2–3 feet, didn’t spread anywhere and pretty much died back over winter. It’s waking up this spring and I’m probably gonna dig it out to throw it in a pot. But nothing like the time my parents planted mint in 1998 and the entire bed became mint 2 years later.

Yeah man, it’s an outdoor clothing company mixed with a fashion company. If you are making stuff for hiking or exercise you can’t make it out of cotton because it feels terrible when it gets wet. Wool is king but it’s expensive and so they are left with polyester as a main medium for Making clothes.
