i had this question posted in another section but it did not get much attention now im asking the aquascaping people for help thanks

i have noticed that some HC has very fine pinnate leaves and the nodes are very close together making for an extremely compact thick carpet

i have also noticed that some HC has bigger leaves with nodes that are spaced out a bit more and the leaves are more the size of its brother HM (baby tears)

i have the bigger version of the HC and was wondering how do i get the leaves to be smaller and more compact. i do know for sure its not HM (baby tears stem plant)


the HC that i bought from my plant supplier was marked as HC. is it possible that there are two species of HC that i am not aware of??

i have 150w 8000k over a 60P ada
ferts are step one
brighty k
green brighy special lights
eca
green bacter
green gain
and amazonia soil
pressurized co2
lights 10hrs a day

i figured lighting might have an affect on how the plant grows out but i didnt think it possible to be this drastic.

anybody that has input on this subject i would greatly appreciate it.
