Hi all,
Looking really good, especially like

You can see that the fertilizer addition is making everything grow really big and vigorous.

Yep, EI makes everything grow like mad. The only plants I currently have that need soil are the Amazon's, even rotalas grow on a bunch.

I have now used your soil to try and grow L Aromatica emmersed, on a 5L bottle. the condensation should provide enough humidity to keep them growing. I got enough cuttings to try ideas about.

The issue with EI is the balance of light, CO2 and water changes. Also triming is an art that I have not mastered yet, so I trim all the stems heavily.

MU for example, if we have enough CO2, nutrients and light, can recover from 5 or 6 stems of about 10cm long, as the rotalas, but L Aromatica gets legged, if trimmed too heavily, but gets thicker as well.

I need to get a notebook and start document the changes.
