LeosLivingSoil I used the pot of the Green Crack again, in the foreground you can also see the old stem, the advantage is that the nutrients important for the plant are already in available form in the surrounding roots and nearby environment, and the new plant can theoretically access them right away. Since I don't fertilize, I also have no problem with salt deposits and can simply reuse the soil. The other plants in there have grown so much since I brought the pot back inside; I had it outside because of aphids on the Green Crack :D and yeah, then I thought I'd just leave them in for now :D

LeosLivingSoil It's a bit stretched due to the distance from the light and competition with the other plants, so I removed the other plants.

LeosLivingSoil This week I topped them and did some defoliation, the pictures after defoliation will be up next week :o

LeosLivingSoil Removing the large fan leaves made the other leaves brighter for a day or two until they recovered. I think it was due to stress because the stems were quite thick, which was interesting.

LeosLivingSoil Here's a photo of the suspected stress reaction 4 days later :o

LeosLivingSoil The moss is growing really well :D

LeosLivingSoil The moss is developing well, just like the dandelion, and yeah if I were to add more soil I could let the air roots turn normal, more roots, more nutrients, more yield :D but I don't want to destroy the biotope so I'm leaving it as is.

LeosLivingSoil I haven't done anything protective for the blood orange branch yet, so I always have to spray it with water, which is much more labor-intensive :D and I filled the hole with half a hand of potting soil because I would have damaged the other roots if I had dug in the pot :o

LeosLivingSoil I’m slowly noticing a slight nitrogen deficiency, I think. Also in comparison to the older leaves. Let’s see how it behaves during flowering :o I’d rather not fertilize because I want to test how long the soil is usable; together with the Green Crack before, it’s now been 7 months. And I didn’t spray the blood orange cutting with water... so it probably won’t make it :c

LeosLivingSoil The week was good, I spotted a new shoot besides the base of the plant. I don't know what it will become, but I'll let it grow to see what happens :D Also, the lime is starting to sprout; when the sushi is ready, I'll let the lime keep growing in there :o

LeosLivingSoil This week, unfortunately, there are only these pictures. It was a lot of stress; I ordered a new used lamp to replace the 150W Mars Hydro that was hanging on the food side because I need it for something else :o (I thought I’d also do a few males separately and screwed some laminate boards together for a mini box :D but I only had an 80W mercury lamp and a 12W blue LED, which were pretty crappy 😂) The Blue Sushi was also a bit under the Hydro but half on the Spider Farmer side, and I thought to not cheat or anything, I’d mention the Spider Farmer :D The new old one arrived this week, and then I had to lift out the potted trees, vacuum and clean, and swap the lamps, which wasn’t easy at all because it’s really huge ._. SAN Light evo 6 1.5 400W :D and then rearranging everything again :D But I found a earthworm while carrying out the pots; it must have been in the worm humus or eggs from it :o

LeosLivingSoil This week was mega cool, I experienced a lot of great things, the lamp makes such a huge difference ._. So really 10 out of 10 for the lamp, it only covers just about half, but I place the trees on the sides so that definitely works :o at the same height with the ppfd measuring device even more ppfd than the spiderfarmer :o but as I said, there's a strong drop at the edges, so one lamp is enough if you want to cover everything completely, not 100%, but it's totally fine for me :o The biotope has grown and the moss is developing well :D the lime tree also wants to do something soon, I can sense it :D

LeosLivingSoil If I had given her more nutrients or any at all, it would have been extremely brutal, but even so, it was really wild, though unfortunately not very abundant in terms of yield. That's due to the reused soil, but it was a good experiment too :0
