Re: Question for the tech/app smart folks
I'll try to give better explantation, maybe more details will help.

Re: Question for the tech/app smart folks
It might be, If the app is such that it chimes wants to remind you or you can choose to have it keep going off like an alarm clock. Do you know if it has those two different options?

When the alert goes off, usually it chimes once and a little bubb...

Some plants as they mature get a coating that protects them from herbicides, star thistle is one, if it's mature you have to wound it first. Smaller fresh growth is easier to kill. Cut it let it grow a few leaves then spray.
