Title sounds funny, doesn't it? Well, I have fallen in love with this plant, so I really really wanna get it.
I have a semi-working paintball CO2 system (Needs to be refilled), and can easily get high lighting. I have about medium lighting now, but I have a light that fits two different wattage bulbs. I'll ask a question about that in a minute here.
I have plain 'ol black sand, but I have plenty of root tabs available. I am doing full EI dose on this tank with N,P,K, and Micros (Dry fertilizers), and the lighting schedule is this:
On: 10:00 A.M.
Off: 12:00 Noon
On again: 3:30 P.M.
Off for the night: 8:30 P.M.
I can adjust anything I mentioned above quite easily, save for my substrate, can't really change that.
I also have a lighting question. I currently have a Menard's full spectrum desk lamp, 6,500k, 27w, so I believe that is about medium lighting. To achieve high lighting, I have a 10.5" brooder lamp that can fit either a 27w 6,500k CFL, or a 13w 6,500k CFL. Which one would make it enough to grow HC?
Is it possible for my to grow it? I will focus on it, and make sure it is not claimed by algae.
I would like a veteran HC keeper to help me out here, I really haven't done much research as of yet, but I'll get started on it ASAP.
You have any more questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them!!
Thank you!!
