Here's my weekly update, I'll try to keep it short and sweet..
Environment:
81°
47% RH
AvT:
5.7 pH
Added a bit of fresh water. Shes already showing lady bits. Not sure what that means for overall growth. She finally started to hit a stretch,but only after the humidity unintentionally hit 77%. That was only due to a fan accidentally being left off and our humidifier was left on the highest setting. It's hard to say whether that was coincidence or not... I still am weary she may not be too big or could be a runt.
GWK:
5.7 pH
Lowered water level a little bit. Might be too high, and we're trying to coax roots to come down to the res more and explore. She has not shown sex yet..
At this point I'm overall a little weary of what both of these can become size wise given the time line they are on right now. I guess we will see..
I know next week will be time to make a decision on who goes on in this competition. I hope for a little more clarity by then
I also didn't bother to put ppm this time as I believe I figured out the slime was from our R/O filter being on its last leg, so I feel it's hard to accurately give a proper reading right now. The water in my area is hard and has a level of up to 500ppm, and this filter is about a year old. I'm currently waiting for a new one to come in the mail sometime next week. On the other hand turning up the air pump has since corrected the slime problem so I'm at a crossroads of either letting these grow out with what we're doing now, and just reading the plants, and keeping the ph in check, or just switch the old filter for the new one out once it arrives..
