I am gradually repotting my collection of Mesembs into 100% 2-4mm Pumice as my initial trial has been successful. Do any growers using pure Pumice know if Mealy Bugs are less likely to be attracted to Pumice than when potted in JI2? I've seen far far less mealy bugs in my collection since everythin...

This is where I get mine from.

(Can't do the price comparison in my head... Only on phone)

I suggested the idea of them going to the BCSS list, maybe as freebies. They would be a good source of seed for people to try out seed sowing - the whole point of the seed pool, afterall. Given the difficulty we may face in purchasing seed going forward we need to preserve and distribute what ever w...

I drain my trays sometimes using a wet paper towel or a wet jay cloth drapped down into the bottom and then over the top and down lower on the outside. It wicks out via capilary action.

It is wiring it all together that is confusing me..... :???: :???: The controller should come with a wiring diagram, Usually there are separate terminals on the controller for the panel, battery, and load, which should be connected up in a specific order, like this one: for example https://www.alie...

The panel produces up to 18V under load; the fans are rated at 12v. By running them at a higher voltage, they may rotate faster than designed (and consume more power, assuming the panel can supply ir), reducing the life of the bearings and otherwise be a bad idea as they may not be able to readily ...
