OOH - I like that!!

Well after 8 days of warm temps and 2 days of rain, the water from snow is gone but I have many gallons of rainwater :) YAY! Is it my imagination or am I actually seeing the plants look better with just 2 or 3 waterings with clean water?

That cracked me up. ... I have 2 dogs and had to find a non-dog area to get the snow from LOL

Ok, having not thought about melting snow for pure water, and after hearing the suggestion, I started melting some snow yesterday. OMG, you guys, you'd think its easy -- snow + heat = water. After 12 hours inside, the 5 gallong bucket of snow is now about 7" of some water and mostly slush...

Thanks for the answers and suggestions. How does a home grower get the temp below 65 in the winter and stay warm themselves? I turn the thermostat down to 64 at night and with the plant in question being near the window (which is old and inefficient), I figure its a bit colder yet. Do I...

The HP is groing S/H as a trial (and seems to love it), the others get a thorough watering. Due to the number of plants, they get tap water (ugh, I know), and the phrags get usually 3-5 mins of water running through the bark, a 10-15 min rest and if if required, then a fertilization (maybe a...

It had 3 huge growths. Now it has a billion. Ok, 8 or 9, I'll have to double check.
