So my LFSM is turning green...what does this mean? Too much water? Or is it irrelevant?

Looks like algae. Is it just a top dressing? If it is I'd say either too much water or not enough sun/airflow.

It was just a top dressing.

When I got my LFSM, it was in a compressed dehydrated brick. I put it in a bucket with water to hydrate it, and after repotting everything I was left with a bucket of distilled water that had traces of LFSM in it. I didn’t want to waste my distilled water so I figured I would use it to water everything.

The bucket has been sitting in my outdoor room, which gets pretty hot, and the water has about a half cup of small LFSM pieces.

Maybe this was the source of the algae? If not, my second guess would be that I’ve been watering too much.

Not enough sun or air flow. And it's because it's too wet
