Often overlooked but vital. Bacteria and microscopic organisms break down waste (snail poop, decaying leaves) and turn it into nutrients (nitrates) that the plants can use again.

For the first 2-6 weeks, your biosphere is finding its equilibrium. You may see:

For the first 24 hours, watch what happens. Condensation should form on one side of the bottle during the day and disappear at night. This indicates proper water cycling.
