The Mean Green

So, the last couple weeks she’s been struggling a little bit, I thought from nitrogen toxicity as the leaf tips were bent down and leaves were super dark, and I thought the lighter and spotted leaves as a cal/mag issue due to the excessive N , so I stopped feeding my fish all but just a little each day, to bring N down, but this week she really looks like she’s starving. So out of curiosity decide to pull her out of the grow bed and check on the root development, turns out due to a design flaw in my pot the roots haven’t even grown through the burlap and into the media bed, so essentially she was starving with just the little nutes/ water she gets in the top zone without having the aquarium feeding and watering as well 😢. So I have now fixed that an the roots should hopefully grow through this week and start feeding and drinking from the media bed 😃
