Great video man! Sweet looking plants! I’m shocked they have such good roots. A lot of times they won’t. I’d like to add if there is no roots it’s usually best to let them float for a few days to a week to get some roots to start to grow. A lot of times if no roots and you plant it you can get the bottom of the stem plant to turn mushy and fall off. You have a great location near you to allow the roots to have grown. It would be nice if LFS allowed some roots to grow before selling plants to people

Is your light on a timer? If so, how long? How often are you dosing your fertalizers? Did the plants grow a lot then start getting algae, or are they new?

@@OtterCreekAquatics I do about 10 to 12 hours of lightning but I just started using an additional light for plant growth that gives off pink and blue lighting. I dose my fertilizers every other day or so as recommended on the labels for my 20 gallons. Yes, there's shoots and plant growth but they are about 2 to 3 weeks old.it just worries me as I know the leaves will die off. Perhaps it is to make room for new shoots? They are rooting perfectly, I just don't like the algae as the leaves will eventually fall off. They do grow quite a bit though. I've thought about trying a schedule like 4 hours on 2 off 4 hours on but I just want to figure out the issue lol.
@OtterCreekAquatics
4 жыл бұрын
I would say the issue is the additional light that you added. Its not a bad thing, your plants probably just need more fertalizer. What are your nitrates at the end of a normal week? If they are less than 20ppm I would start off by adding an extra day of dosing fertalizers. Then after 2 weeks reevaluate. The bigger the plants grow and the more light you give them you need to feed more.
