  Your potting soil should hold moisture so there isn't a need to water continuously. Just make sure the pot is well drained and you're using a good potting soil and water every 3 or 4 days.

  I planted my seed almost 3 weeks ago and its just now sprouting! I used a metal file to grt through the shell. I will wait maybe a week of two before transplanting to a larger pot but im terrified to kill it! Any tips? This is my very first time planting a seed lol

• 
  @essentialhomeowner4 ай бұрын

  I would let it go longer before transplant. I would wait for at least one additional set of leaves after the seed leaves (first set of leaves that come from the energy in the seed). It shouldn't take long assuming it has full sun and good soil. This will put it in a better position for transplant where it will need the energy those leaves produce.

  The intention here is to better mimic undercoating of a car which isn't directly exposed to sun or rain. Obviously not 100% since we don't have splashing.

Depending on where you're using these, it is definitely interesting results.

  The last blades are "rope grease" but they are the spray can versions. I can't speak to their effectiveness yet since the black color hides any underlying rust development. But in general they seem to be doing quite well.

  Nice update, looks like edges have a hard time holding onto the sprays.

Apparently Fluid Film doesn't do well in this regard, though I still use it for my tools since it's non-toxic.
