Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
HMelendez, another question about the sand. Where do you find yours and what are the best deals for quantity/price/bulk? I saw this on HomeDepot, but it doesn't seem like coarse...

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
One more thing HMelendez, maybe I should have PMed you instead of posting here, but for the sake of other people wanting to make these expandable domes I figured it is relevant to the thread. Best I...

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
Is it completely sealed, ie. any leakage?
Clear packing tape or scotch tape?

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
HMelendez, also how do you make those clear dome extensions? Do you just buy the dome and cut out the top to stack them? How do you seal it so water doesn't evaporate through the cracks?

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
HMelendez, I haven't read the entire thread but the last page 5 and page 1. I'm still confused how these plants will grow in 100% pool silica sand. Are you supplying all of the nutrients via...
