Exceptional quality. Raised in AquaSoil. The plant is about 3/4" tall - tall enough to be planted easily. I will remove it from this tank right before shipping :

Niko,

Just wondering .... how long it took for HC to grow that much ? Fertilization schedule ?

niko · 03-01-2006, 02:35 PM

Jay,

You can see the dates on the file names - from 1/16 to 2/23:

What you see grew with 7 hours of 3 wpg and super lean fertilization - mainly K and Fe/Traces. Lots of CO2 is a must.

With such lighting it stretches up a little (3/4" total height in the course of 1 month) but that proves very useful when you plant it in a new place. After planting you end up with about 1/4" of the plant sticking above the substrate. Amano shrimp are known for pulling HC out of the substrate so the ability to bury a lot of the plant in the substrate is a very good thing.
