@plants #SucculentSunday
A little cheer for your day 🙂
I had a feeling the other day that I had edited some pics to post then didn't have time/oomph, but couldn't remember what they were, nor where! Just thought about this #cactus that flowered and when I looked for the pics-- all ready to go including alt! Gymnocactus ysabelae (or moved into Turbinicarpus as species or subspecies) #houseplants #IndoorGardening #BloomScrolling #WindowsillGardening #WinterBright #Alberta #Canada

Looking through the window from outside at the plant, the flower is now fully open, petals slightly reflexed and showing a faint blush of pink as well as the stripes on the back showing through. The light seems muted and a bit moody. In the background we can see, blurred, part of a wooly whitish cactus to the left, and behind long golden spines of another. A white blob over that one, may be one of the mysterious other dimensional orbs that people see!(or some debris on the window glass...) A partial view of a small cactus 4-5inches/8-11cm tall, somewhere between ball and barrel shape. It is densely covered with spines, many fine gold, reddish tipped which radiate from the aereoles (points where spines originate, each on a small tubercle) upward at first near the new growth at the top of the plant, becoming straight then flat on older part. From the centre of each aereole a single thicker dark spine curves up towrd the centre of the plant. Clumps of fine white wool also grow from each areole, so we only see hints of the green body where the angle is right to see the tubercle bases.

Looking down on the entire plant, flower nearly fully open looking nearly flat from above but not reflexed as it would a bit later in the afternoon. The sun is hitting the plant, coming from behind. It looks chonky and a bit like a little hedge hog and we can see- blurred- the gravel that covers its soil, as well as the rim of the plastic pot, painted sandy grey.

The flower is just opening, rising straight up and the whitish petals barely beginning to separate at the top.We can see a pink stripe on the back of a petal and greey brown on the outside of smaller ones(sepals?). It is surrounded by some extra wool and a few small dark dried bits from previous flowers (last season).Background is blurred mottled grungy window.

Despite having a minor cold, I did actually manage to get one major task done over the weekend.

We've been slowly building out an indoor greenhouse. We added a raised bed yesterday and installed some hooks in the ceiling to mount grow lights. This bed will have 2 cherry tomato plants. We plan to add another raised bed right next to it later this month.

This is in addition to our aeroponics tower that's got Bibb lettuce, salad bowl lettuce, basil, arugula, onion and chives currently growing.

Our end goal is to have this entire room basically a leafy forest.

And yes, that's a 3d printed leafeon planter sitting in the dirt holding a succulent.

Wide shot of our indoor greenhouse. Consists of a 4ft x 2ft dirt planter with 2 grow lights hanging over it. A smaller germination table with several rock wool cubes under a grow light, and a large aeroponic tower with a variety of leafy greens growing in the center of the room.

Regarding indoor hydroponics...

Most of my power consumption is through my grow lights (still way cheaper to grow than to buy at the grocery store).

I've thought about solar panels and batteries etc... but that costs a lot of money (I havent found a non-scam solution - still researching, but let me put this down for a second).

So I started thinking... instead of lining my roof or side walls with solar panels to power indoor LED grow lights...

...why not just install light collectors outside and funnel that light directly into my house and on too of my plants with fiber optics?!?!

Basically run cabling through my house to wall literal light sockets. And attach further cabling from there to my plant shelves and setups. I could still have LEDs for augmenting the grow space if needed or during stormy days for example... but even then there is light to be collected. Anyhow!)

Turns out other people have the same idea!

Here is a gentleman going a into detail on the math and science of it with a DIY project: m.youtube.com/watch?v=DN8GXTmR

There are even some companies that do this!

Here's the basic idea (I stole this pic from solarreviews.com/blog/guide-to):

An illustration showing a house cutaway with the sun shining on a clear day. A collector sits on the root. Fiber cable takes the light from the collector and moves it through the house to an illuminator.

anyway, with the fun new fuckery of "maybe your loved ones won't have access to the SNAP benefits they rely on to eat!" in play--I need to get my ass in gear re: indoor gardening since I'm still on the waiting list for a community garden plot.

does anyone have resources on indoor gardening and/or hydroponics that they really like and trust? I'm mostly wanting to know about what kinds of supplies (specifically grow lights) to get. I think I'd prefer to grow things in soil because that makes it easier to transplant if/when I do get access to somewhere outside and I know more about how to amend soil, but curious to read more about hydroponic setups as well to see if that might make sense for me.
