Paul appears to be using some version of a low K diet.

yes, but Calcium is supplied in the municipal water (50/50 with rain water) and in the media (very little dolomie). And N is half N03- and half NH4+.

Keith has the lichen growth increased or decreased since you set up the mount?

It looks like its been there long enough for a few new roots to either go through it or over the top of it.

It's increased but by a small amount. Most of its dormant. There is a small amount that has grown on top of a root. The anceps has only been there for 1 year or so. I just cant keep the humidity high enough is the summer months to sub stain growth. Most of it will start the regrow in the winter.
