Thanks Sean since I've put the fungus in the day I got the set up I say 4inchs of new cutted up leaf been added to the garden and more active as well just was down side we had power cut early hrs this morning and heat Mat was out and temp was at 22.8c but we had heating on so its fine gone back up I'll take some more pics today been drawing the set up how I want to look like when it's gets more gardens and pods

This is today's pic I took of them they grown the garden high since I put them in the pod

Looking great Ricco, very enjoyable being able to watch them through clear plastic. Adds a new dimension to your enjoyment of keeping these great creature's.

Looking amazing.

I would like to know how you control the climate in such pods? thx

[Atta solider]

Thanks and yeah me too been sat watching them so close chewing the leaf bits and adding it to the garden feels like am in there with them lol



I've got thermo pod going in and when it drops the temp it's turns on the heat mat and with the clay bits it keeps the pod humidity right. And temp reader also I've got two of them so I can get the best temp on both and I've also got two thermo pods as well I hope that helps Richardp
