IM BACK- Nature's River by Harry Robinson

Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson

Okay i got my plants today, yet again thanks to TGM for superfast delivery of my 1-2 grow ;) Also i must say again that the quality from 1-2 grow is immense, look how many stems of staurogyne i got from this one pot!

I got this and also some Eleocharis 'Mini'.
I'll post a pic up soon of the tank cleared up :D
 
Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson

Wow that's a nice amount! Defo going to be getting that for my low tech 2ft. I have it growing emersed at the min in the window sill. If I don't get enough ill buy some 1-2 grow.
 
Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson

Ok guys so i'll get a picture up asap, just really busy at the moment :oops: Got a question for ya. Im not seeing no way near enough growth from my pogostemon, could i possibly increase my 0.5ml dosage of tpn+ to 1ml? Im dosing 1.5ml of Easy carbo daily ;)
 
Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson

Harry, people are often weary of upping their dosing, they then double it and see great results. You could definitely up your dosing and I would recommend that you do, The trick is trying to find that 'sweet-spot' in your tank and what your plants require. So start by doubling it to 1ml and go from there, you may need to increase it again. With quite a good plant mass and HC in there (requires a lot of co2) I would also increase your dosing of liquid carbon to 2ml and see how that goes. Experiment and see how your tank reacts, it takes time.
 
Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson

Ok so i haven't been uploading photos for a while because ive been waiting for a little present, A tripod! All the photos below are unedited and taken with a tripod on a 2sec timer :D I'll upload a 'proper' fts soon after a water change and some trimming :)

Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson

Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson

its ok dude. Got a house move to do before i even think of getting more plants :(
 
Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson

Okay so here's the tank in its current state, i had a few melts with the staurogyne so that patch has been removed and replaced with a riccia stone on the left ;) Not much else folks, enjoy!

Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson (Update Pics)

Had a few leaves fall off the crypt in the past few days, they looked to of melted on the stems and detached themselves from the main plant. I reckon this is because of them being emergent leaves before and them making way for the new growth, am i right?
 
Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson (Update Pics)

you quite often get crypt melt harry so i would not worry too much, they usually come back. it would be unusual for crypts to have been emersed unless you know them to have been, but the melt is often encountered regardless. For my sins I have always been lucky with most crypts but then I cant grow pogostemon for toffee so go figure, lol
 
Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson (Update Pics)

Yeah the plants at aqua essentials are grown emmersed ;) Yeah the pogostemon i have is being very weird, it has only grown around a centimeter since I've put it in! Plants eh, who'd have em' ?

LOL. Mugs like us !! 8) :lol:
 
Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson (Update Pics)

Gotta say Harry, this is looking really nice :thumbup:
 
Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson (Update Pics)

:lol:

Yeah thanks Ady, just a shame that god'dam pogostemon isn't growing fast enough, might have to chuck some other plants in there to give an instant effect. The main aim at the moment is to get that pogostemon growing like no body's business :thumbup:

Also guys, i have a little melting across my patches of Staurogyne, any ideas on why this is happening?
