How is there no motorcycle thread here? I took delivery of my new 2023 Indian Scout Bobber Sixty on Saturday. First time I've ridden in twenty years and I'm having a blast with this thing. Post your bikes and talk about them!

Bernie glog! She's doing better and better with her potty training. Oh, and she brought us a dead vole this morning. Good girl!

What say I start some seeds now in 7b, let 'em grow outside for the rest of the season, then bonk 'em down to OW size (leaving them in the ~1G pots) - would that provide any benefit over starting seeds in the spring as usual?

This is going to be a demasoni species tank with a 40B display. Ready-made stand/canopy sets are shit, and I wanted a custom height, besides, so me and Dad built one over the last few months. Pine and poplar, built to hold up a house. The canopy lid warped a bit, but the thing's getting dark...

I suck at dirt. Perhaps oddly, hydro seems simpler to me - plants need water, light, and nutrients, so we give them those three things and only those three things and it works! The thing is, though, that's not all plants want. It's difficult (maybe impossible?) to simulate all the little...

I've been toying with the idea of putting in a raised bed for a while now. It's a little late to plant one this year, so I'm thinking of getting it set up and letting it develop over the fall and winter. But I suck at dirt. What should I do? I thought I'd have garden soil trucked in to fill...

I'm an avid reader of science fiction novels and enjoy both the hard stuff and space opera. Sci fi movies usually rank toward the guilty pleasure end of my entertainment spectrum as they're often pretty crappy, but life has been hectic for me lately and I've been indulging frequently. I've...

I put in a new bed yesterday at the east side of the house. Gonna grow an all purple flower garden. I've only ever grown flowers in containers. Will be fun.

Starting chili peppers here next to my chair in my little library again! :dance: This one-windowed room at the southeast corner started as a place to read quietly and store my books. Over the last few years it's become not only my refuge, but also a WFH office, a light workshop, and a...

We've had legal homegrow in Virginia since the summer and I've been having a blast. I run a little 36x20x63 tent and have been able to provide a modest abundance for myself and some family. Just switched from a three-plant staggered autoflower cycle with individual reservoirs to one big...

Readying one of my DWC reservoirs for a new plant today and had everything all clean and pretty, so thought I'd show and tell.  I run a little 36x20x63" grow tent in the closet next to my chair and I need things streamlined to make up for the narrow access I've got to the tent.  (The doors slide...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!   :dance:     Thanks for all of your birthday messages.  It certainly brightened mine.  :)   Doing anything special today?

I've been using these blow-molded conical fermenters as DWC reservoirs to make nute changes quicker and easier. Works great.     The only problem is it's difficult to secure the airstone due to the shape of the walls. The suction cups the airstone provides no doubt work great against a smooth...

Zooey Deschanel would like to sell you a 2001: A Space Odyssey-looking modular hydroponics tower.  I don't know if there are misters in there or what, but it seems clear there's a reservoir and a pump in the base.  Pretty neat.   Farmstand

I know I'm a little late, but I'm furloughed and G-d, I'm bored.    What's a good variety for a tomato n00b to grow in a 10G fabric pot, please?  I'd like to make my own salsa. 

Baby plants again!  Down on the floor again next to my chair in my little library.  Here's how it looks right now.  I've got seeds in the germinator moving to cups every day now, will end up with another dozen or so seedlings under the light.        I'm scaling back from the 20+ plants I had...

USPS bungled the delivery of my recent order from WhiteHotPeppers.com.  The USPS website said it was delivered to my box, my box disagreed.  I waited a few days to see whether a neighbor would bring me the package, no dice.  Well, Justin at WHP is super cool, so I sent him a message.  Justin...

I recently received a most generous gift of seeds from our friend CaneDog.  Thanks CaneDog!  Included were some Rocoto Arequipa Giant Red seeds which I now have in my little germinator.  I mean to grow some nice large pods and cook up some Rocoto relleno; this glog will document the process, the...

I prefer to post from the titular chair when I can. So, here I am, having found the gall to start another glog. There are still another couple few months to go before I get to eat my rookie cap, but my experience has been rich - mostly, I think, from taking my first grow way too seriously. And...
