Pearling and Growth

smokaah · 06-10-2012, 03:29 PM

I planted some HC a few weeks ago under 78Watt t5ho and Pressurized CO2 also Pfertz high tech series in my 30 gallon.

I am seeing some major pearling but not a whole lot of growth. I am assuming by the pearls the plants are doing well but I am concerned about the slow growth. Is there any correlation or am I just impatient.

thanks

How long have you set it up like this? I've learned patience is key to planted tanks

Since the start about 3-4 weeks ago. Pfertz about 2-3 weeks ago.

Personally I'd say just being a little impatient get some time once everything settles in and whatnot and the growth rate of your HC and other plants will probably skyrocket

Give them time to root and then you should see some good growth.

Some plants take longer then others to get into the swing of things. My dwarf aquarium lily sat for almost 2 months before it took off now I'm wondering if i should cut some of its pads off. Every once in a while I'll wake up one morning to a plant that put on 2 inches over night.
