Yeah the exact portions thing is the problem @mary_schmidt, you can't just snack on extra carrots because they send you random amounts.

Are you training for something specific or just seeing how many bricks you can churn through? That number sounds impressive but without context it's just a number.

Last summer I had a pepper plant that looked exactly like that... kept drooping no matter what I did with watering. Got so frustrated I finally pulled it out of the pot and the roots were just circling the bottom like a tight spring. Did you actually pull the whole thing out and check the root mass, or just peek at the drainage holes?

Viscosity really changes everything, just like how different pancake batter spreads on the griddle.

Tried grinding a bit finer than usual and extended my steep time to get better flavor out of it.
