Anyone else noticed a huge number of SASE requests?
Comments (44)Gwen don't feel bad. Katheria you shouldn't either. I wasn't familiar with the rules when I first came here. I was so worried about what I included in my first trade and felt terrible when the person I traded with sent me at least twice the amount that I sent them. lol I just think that many of us that used to post a lot of offers have cut back because of things that have happened such as what Poisondartfrog mentioned. I should have clarified when I said that I was annoyed by those who responded to all offers. I don't understand why someone, not a newbie, would reply to everything that was offered regardless what it was. For a newbie it's a way of building up a stash to use for trade and is understandable but not a member that's been here for long time. The most annoying to me are the people that respond but don't follow thru and it's been happening more and more lately. If you change your mind about an offer just let the person know that you changed your mind and no longer want it. That's no big deal and is just common courtesy. Karen I take the emailing cold as someone asking for plants or seeds that I haven't offered but just talked about in a post. I have no problem if someone asks me where I got something or if I'd be interested in trading. I've occasionally contacted someone regarding a plant they've posted about just because I thought it was interesting. Another thing that bothers me are the people that come here, respond to a bunch of offers then just disappear after they've gotten what they wanted. I see this mainly on plant specific forums. When I post an offer on the brug forum I open it only to people that regularly post. As for trade lists I don't have any posted because there's too many items and it changes too often but I do try to remember to let that be known when I post or respond to an offer. I just reread what I've written. I sound like a bi*ch. lol Really, I'm not : )...See MoreHas anyone else noticed this?
Comments (31)I'm quite late to this discussion... Yet I would like to add-in my own 2 cents: The most popular reason is that lightning turns atmospheric nitrogen gas into a form of it, nitrous oxide, thatâÂÂs beneficial for plants. So when nitrogen-enriched rain falls from the skies, it gives plants a boost. My hypothesis is based on information covered in a book I'm writing on electro-horticulture (& plant electrophysiology) - that an abundance of free-floating ions from looming electrical storms creates a charge imbalance on plant cell walls. This imbalance will lead to a wide array of physiological changes within the plants ranging from increased growth rate to increased pigmentation and photosynthesis abilities. Charge imbalances induce "action potentials" within electrically active cells in plants affecting metabolism, structure, hormones, and gene expression....See MoreProblems finding roses this year...anyone else notice this?
Comments (5)our local nursery(s) had DA and Jackson & Perkins but the local Lowe's mostly had flowercarpet and knockout, etc... I heard Jackson & Perkins was having some problems...? (ie insolvency or something? ) I don't know, don't take my word for it. They're still shipping and selling, etc. so. But maybe they have less big-box store presence. I order most of my roses online anyway so that I have more choice....See Moreanyone else notice T8 32W are USELESS?
Comments (9)yes @zensojourner, I bought the phillips brand warm white 3000K and the phillips brand 4100K cool white. both were the twin packs at home depot. yes worst growth ever. the day I went there they had in twin packs- warm white 3000K, cool white 4100K crisp white 5000K and daylight deluxe 6500K. at the time I was overwhelmed didn't know what light was best for maximum growth on any indoor plant, I had a four tube fixture just dying to have tubes lol. so I went with the wives tale that to have a quote full spectrum of light buy warm white tubes and the cool white tubes. ya never again lol. so yes ill take your advice and buy all 6500K daylight deluxe and use them as the only light in the fixture, (I got some nice oxalis bulbs sprouting in pots as we speak in a SE window. thinking of buying the 6500K tubes and growing them under that :) and the good thing with daylight deluxe means with the added benefit of being 6500K the deluxe means they have a small amount of "red" in them which will help them to flower good. and yes ill admit I got cheap buying soil.. I had a tendency to re use soil each time I repotted a plant, when id shake some soil loose from the plants roots id put it back in my soil container. (I use a large under the bed tote for my soil. I just keep buying soil adding to it, when I repot a plant ill shake off some soil add it to the soil in the tote. but I think that's bad, I noticed because the tote stays sealed so long, I noticed on the inside lid of the tote theres a lot of condensation probably not a good thing. probably means even though I cant see it visually, there is probably microscopic mold in the soil in the tote and scrapped all the soil in the tote!! and stopped being cheap, and went out and bought the good soil to use on all houseplants- promix potting mix (the purple bag) all purpose. I now use it straight out from the bag. love it, think my plants will love it too!. is that one of the best soil to use on any houseplant minus a cactus or succulent lol? I know miracle gro soil is no good and stay away from it unless you want dead plants and fungus gnats through your house! but is that purple bag promix great stuff for most houseplants minus cactus and succs? and your saying just buy and use all 6500K daylight deluxe tubes in my fixture right? I usually aim for 16hrs a day with the four tube placed close to plant tops so my light meter reads 6000 lux or higher for 16 hrs day...See Morefranksmom_2010
