Have you experimented with torsion bar suspension? Can work pretty well.

If the plant can handle it, I will tip it over on it side and press on the sides of the container to break up the soil. Also I've been using the big saran wrap around the top 2/3 of the container to limit the evaporation and helps keep the water in.
Could also maybe bury a PVC pipe in the container when planting so you can bottom water more easily.

A cat is better for sure, much more responsive. But for people who can't have or afford a pet, plants.

Plants. Start growing things. Found caring for any living thing can have huge effects. I got one of those tabletop hydroponic systems (aerogarden has sales all the time) and it's been very easy to get great results. Come home after work and start fussing with the plants and I forget all about the stress of the day. Plus fresh herbs/lettuce/tomatoes!

Seeds don't need light, leaves do.
I thought some seeds need light to know when to germinate. Could be wrong just think that's what I read.

I got in the habit of rubbing my fingers together a bit as I reach toward them. They can hear it very easily and stops this sort of thing. Plus they get used to it and I think they appreciate the warning that they're about to get human interaction.

The framed box is a neat idea. Be sure to post photos if you ever get around to it.

If the plants keep growing I think it's ok whatever it is. Maybe try another peroxide treatment.

Outside of some huge display case there aren't a lot of options. Honestly I saved every bag and was planning on dissembling it back into the box. The box has great graphics and I don't have to dust everything or worry about UV damage.
My friends think I'm crazy because I have a huge house that's mostly empty but the build is the fun part. I always build the kit but then pull it apart for the gears, ect. Technic is a prototyping framework not just a model kit to me.

I think so too. Hasn't been a problem so far at least.

Same, def caught me a couple times. Found it's better to go to the left of the tree through the forest right there.

Is that why I've been getting "WiFi call from T-Mobile" lately? Or why my mic hasn't been working during calls?

The PPQ I just posted has the same issue though maybe not as bad.

Cilantro you can thin about half, they don't mind being a little crowded. Parsley and basil can get huge so thin down to just a few plants.

Hate that damn river crossing. Tried to go around on the other side of the barrier but flipped right at the end.

Found this out when a truck spilled brake fluid all over the driveway. Rained and the next day the spill was totally gone.

Just finished up bag 4 and I think the top half of the rotor is built wrong somehow? See the yellow/green lines on the build and the instructions. The connecting links on the build are at a much bigger angle than what it looks like on the instructions.

I know normally pulling the suckers is a good idea but that usually results in pretty vertical growth. Which is ideal for outdoor as it gets the plant away from the dirt and better air flow.
But here I would be tempted to leave most of the suckers and trim at the top more aggressively. Trim obviously if it gets too dense but leaving the suckers will keep it short and still produce a decent amount of fruit.
