I plant stinging nettles next to my fave ladies....have yet to have issues.......my experiance with bales of anything sold at a store is if its not stored in a pristine environment it will attract bugs to the bale!

I've used that too.
I gave it to my cat when she had worms then put a layer on top of my soil to kill bugs.
I don't want to use it now because I don't want to kill my soil mites.
They've got an entire dead root system to eat. Lol
I feed them molasses too, to keep them and the springtails happy.

And the bales were probably originally packaged with all kinds of living organisms.
They don't list those ingredients on the package. Lol

At least cut them off.
They're only part of the assembly process.
A nail clippers might even work.

Hey buds I think I missed the posts where you waterproofed that SIL... or did you? Haha. You crazy animal. If you did what’d You do it with? Silicone?

No, I never did get it waterproof and sealed up.
I did manage to get my fluorescent tube cleaned out but then broke it and realized this is frickin dangerous. Lol
So just now I tried to search for those protective tubes to cover fluorescent tubes but this is all I could come up with...
That's kind of steep for two feet of tubing so I'm going to surf through my local Walmart tomorrow and look for something that comes in a tall and skinny glass or plastic jar. Lol
Ideas are welcome.

Apparently, a mirror is only 65% reflective and flat white can be over 90% reflective.
Silver reflective material can reflect and concentrate light on certain spots and burn your plant.
I use Panda film. It reflects smoothly and doesn't cost too much.
You can wipe it down easily, its easy to work with and doesn't conduct electricity.

yo
apparently behind most flat screen monitors, theres a fresnel lens. They use it to increase the backlight effect, or something. Maybe you could play around with that material if your looking for diy chip covers. I got the idea from this utube guy here:
