Well im sure this plant would have done much better. I found out why the ppm was so high 2 weeks in a row, my air pump hose to the air stone came unplugged. A few zip ties later and that will no longer be an issue. Since plugged back in plant has grown at least 6 inchs in 2 - 3 days. It got tall enough this week to start tucking under the screen and it started to flower.
