I took pictures of a thin layer of fungi on the surface of my 5 gallon pots a few weeks ago.
Included is a picture of a couple of those plants taken a couple of days ago at 30 days 12/12.

How tall are those plants? Wish I could grow in 5 gallons pot but I'm afraid I'll be growing trees :bigjoint:

No I have such crappy bandwidth. I live so far from any town in Alaska that I’m lucky to get pics to load on here. But I did bookmark it.

Oh well. It's a little off topic, but it's about how plants communicate with one another, and some scientists that study, I think they call it the root brain theory which is what it sounds like. Cool example of trees that killed the, what are they called, kudu? Some kind of deer. On ranches where the kudu were larger concentration they died. Where they were less concentrated the kudu were ok. They discovered these trees communicated to one another when they got nibbled too much by emitting a gas and told all their neighboring kind to produce more tannins, which killed all the kudu in that area. Other stories about training dancing plants that move to music, but there is not a strong belief that all plants like music. Still, the dancing plants can be trained to be better dancers so repetition matters and i.e. plants learn. Lastly I recall the Japanese researcher who studies how plants sleep. So I may play mine music anyhow (classical), but turn it off at night so they can rest.

Not kidding. They like heavy metal the most.
I don’t care what this old bat says. Mine like Priest and Slayer. Iron Maiden etc.

I honestly think they like the music YOU groove to. I don’t care if people think it’s silly. I’ve talked to my plants forever. Including at the farm I worked at where we grew 2.75 million pounds of potatoes. The owner was really happy and I told him it was because talked to them and played the radio in the tractor for them. Half kidding but he thought I was nuts.
