What nutrient deficiency?

[Jaap]

Hi

What nutrient deficiency if any do this plants have?

Thanks

Hello there,

I say NO. Do you use CO2? What light and tank you have ? Also do you dose anything?

Vazz

 

[Jaap]

Pressurized co2 and estimative index....tmc grobeam 600 at 30% 55cm from substrate

 

[Iain Sutherland]

Carbon deficiency.

 

[Vazkez]

Carbon deficiency.

Yeah or that

If I am you I will trust Lain Up your CO2 or look on distribution Also more info like PH

 

[Jaap]

Carbon deficiency.

How did you figure this out Iain?

 

[Iain Sutherland]

Same reason as in your journal jaap, for as long as your plants melt, drop leaves and don't grow it's a safe bet that that there is too much light for the available co2.
I have the same issue with stauro at the moment, I have adjusted injection, added a powerhead to increase flow and healthy new growth is just about starting to show.
Even after you improve these things it can take a week or two for the plant to recover and show signs of growth.
You have to be patient with changes otherwise your chasing a ghost.

Just to add, I'm pretty sure I can count on two hands over the last 4 years the amount of problems that required solving with nutrients aside carbon.

So its not a nutrient deficiency?

Sure it is, carbon (c)

Of all the things growing in my tank stauro has been the last to respond to an increased injection rate. It's response is to bush out green up and remain squat. Under poorer co2 it grew leggy and had pale leaves, a bit like yours.
