I hope you enjoyed yet another information-packed episode. I've included timestamps and chapters for ease of navigation.

[@subito7262]

Again, learned a lot - thx so much, Chuck! Particularly appreciate the research elements you bring into the episodes since it permits you to go beyond "just doing the right things", that is *understanding why* you do them (and, thus, being able to adapt them to your circonstances). This was a long sentence, hope my point is clear nonetheless 😜

[@Cerriscapades]

@@subito7262 I'm glad you think that way too. I'm the type of person who has to question why things are done the way they are instead of just accepting them at face value. Because I want to know how they work and when they are appropriate.

Where did you buy your shelf ,looks sturdy.😁

[@Daniquas.Art.]

Thanks a bunch really enjoy the very informative videos you do! wow you have so many more subscribers now I've been following since you had less than 3000 subscribers amazing good job Chuck.

[@alphonzolovierventura9798]

Why aren't you posting any videos anymore? And do you still remember me? This is alphonzo ventura

[@eshelovesdogs]

The time stamps are helpful when you don't have a lot of time and or aren't using grow lights. Thank you, I usually end up watching all the video at some point because knowledge is never a bad thing

[@gelossanctuary7452]

we will never get tired of all the information you present. this is taking me back to my science subject during elementary. Keep it up Chuck!

[@floristerhumble3753]

Since plants grow more vigorously when the sun is directly above them, their growth is also affected by seasonal angle and duration of sunlight when grown outdoors. So when growing indoors on a south facing windowsill, I have found that my succulents benefit from a quarter turn each week or quarter turn with each watering, to counter the tendency for phototropism. I supplement with grow lights in winter to prevent etiolation, but my potted succulents always do better when they can be outside, which is most of the year. THANK YOU for providing the information as to why this all happens. It has been a challenge to grow succulents in the humid Gulf Coast region of Texas. Today is 100+F and in winter we can get down to 19F. Etiolation is so sad, but so are burned up plants... hard to balance here in Humble, TX. Some of my plants do better in raised rock gardens in the ground with filtered light at noon than they do in my pots in a covered east facing patio area. Head chopping of my stretched plants seems the only solution for etiolation.

[@criselperalta8221]

("Dead leaf falling"😂) a lot to know in this episodes. Thank you chuck🙏 very informative content!👍

[@eliseschedler4154]

Love how scientific this is!! So much new info, even for a basic concept like not getting enough light.

[@angelavarner7044]

I love how knowledgeable you are about plants. Thank you for sharing.

[@jilllindfield2187]

I am thriving on your thorough information, I love it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@eshelovesdogs]

Your video editing is amazing!

[@francesnelson9746]

I like your channel. I've learned alot about succulents with your help. So I like that you are thorough! Thank you!

[@cactuspar6802]

Lots of information, as usual sir. Learned a new term, phototropism, and I thought it was just a kind of etiolation haha. I miss this vibe of watching cerriscapades on a gloomy day, thank you po!

[@aesya1347]

All ur succulents are pretty gorgeous. Love ur garden.

[@sagas3167]

What a great channel! Love the indepth info

[@cheryllancett6592]

Just love watching you learned so much about propergate thank you I watch on utube, you wonderful dad kids are so lucky and beautiful

[@TravelAgentCale]

Incredible update! Thank you for sharing!

[@bronnywolfenden6144]

Love the video. Question. Where do you get all your information from? Seriously ...you should educate professionally. You put the info out in such a way thats easy to understand.

[@Cerriscapades]

Thanks! Yeah I just love reading up on things and like having everything make sense in my head first before I share them.

[@edmora7662]

Always outstanding quality content

[@deogardener]

Great video again.

[@Cerriscapades]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kevricjohnson]

Very gorgeous succulent garden ;) yung sakin kaka start ko pa lng mg alaga ng succulents.... best regards Kevin from Sydney 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@erins.5420]

Do you have ventilation/airflow in the grow tent? Also what is your on off schedule for the lights?

[@Cerriscapades]

Right now ventilation is low tech, I just slightly open the front flap. There are also some port holes along the sides that I could probably mount fans in. I have the lights on for 12 hours a day, from 7am to 7pm.

[@stroopwafelfalafel]

7:36 haha! Nice save!

[@Cerriscapades]

Haha yeah, it was a reflex but it was funny enough I kept it in the final edit.

[@MRSMM6272]

Thank you.

[@jenniferoakes5069]

Can you do a video on your top 5 most high maintenance succulents and a separate video of your top 5 most low maintenance succulents? Even if you have more than 5 low maintenance succulents, if you could just limit it to your favorites, it's interesting to hear your opinion on this. Also I think you've probably talked about this before, but, if you could make a new video entirely dedicated to creating a hybrid succulent, I'd really love that. It's my dream to do that someday. I feel like I searched for that topic and your video on it was very difficult to find, maybe it wasn't titled exclusively for making hybrid succulents?? I forget. Some other guy's video popped up but he didn't explain it as in depth and thoroughly as you did. Also, I'm growing echeveria cante from seed and echeveria laui, from seed... do you have these types and if so, would you consider dedicating an entire video to them? There's a man on Instagram: @gaymesssucculents and his laui are STUNNING... and I'm like, "how"... anyway, if you could teach us, I'd be so grateful. 😄💕 thank you for always working so hard. No pressure!

[@rosecueto4600]

I've been watching your vlogs. Hope you are doing well in not seeing any lately.

[@ashesa2601]

What about ppfd measurements? And bands of light?

[@misseyespy1]

Can I plant my succulents now in a plot in vic as it’s so cold or wait as I know you in Australia and love your new great videos. Thanks

[@suiseki1973]

Muy buenos los vídeos. Lástima que no los tengas todos con subtítulos en español, hay mucha gente más que podría seguir tú canal

[@cheryllancett6592]

Omg how long does it take to grow succies so big cheers

[@richardrahl1919]

sir may i ask a question,why is some succulents grow smaller after purchase?

[@erins.5420]

I wish grow light companies stuck with LUX instead of confusing everyone changing to Umol.

[@Cerriscapades]

Since we're dealing with plants, umol would be better. Now if only the PAR meters were cheap... lol! I don't have one, and that's why I can only do lux readings for now.

[@CaneserBulut]

Çok güzel

[@susanaramliecochran9007]

I need help with my succulents. I lived in Florida. How should I send my questions

Yo!

[@janetac1738]

i love the details.... I NEED THE DETAILS! quick question, im bringing my plants inside for winter, im in Connecticut. i only have a west facing window available. it doesnt matter bcuz sunset is at 4 pm in winter. can i wrap aluminum foil around my shelves to get that reflective effect? just joined the facebook group!!

[@lucacolombo9756]

Janet Ac I think white color reflects better than aluminum foil

[@janetac1738]

@@lucacolombo9756 Thank you! ill get some white wrappingf paper. im so scared theyre going to stretch and flop their leaves

[@stevevicki5671]

The info about auxin production, farina, and phototropism was great, but during part of your explanation you added background music that was very distracting.

[@ruizhiqiu2109]

I have not seen new videos for a while. Is everything okay?

[@darwindelacruz7030]

Haha literally content from my a-level biology course 😂 (UK)

[@Cerriscapades]

I'd hate to get back to school but I kinda wish I finished my biology course back in the day. I shifted to computer science because I lost interest in biology lol. Things have come full circle!
