A quick update. The phyto culture is going well - more than I need. But the pods are lagging (my fuge is exploding though).
I believe the drop in activity is do to temp swings. I was using the kitchen window as a light source and even with the diffusing frosting the area was climbing up to 85° with the morning sun. I would crack the window to buffer but at night the temp was dropping into the low sixties.
I moved the set up near a window that doesn't get direct sunlight and put a small heater in the pod box that I will turn on at night and have orders a small thermostat controlled heater.
Pods are resilient but I do think these temp swings are affecting their metabolism.
