ok after good advice form members on here i have started using the following to feed my plants
tropica plant nutrition+ and tropica plant nutrition+ root tabs
ive put 2 to 3 tabs around very plants depending on there size and added the nutrition+ liquid as directed on the bottle,i know it is early days yet,but was just wondering if anyone knew.
ive also ordered my new lights with reflectors which should be here this week hopefully
and compared to the online co2 chart im pumping in 21ppm of co2 and my co2 checker is a nice geen colour

Ignore the charts they are highly inaccurate. The drop checker is telling you you have enough CO2. a nice mid green is 30ppm or thereabouts.

After you get your reflectors you should start to see some difference after a week. The plants will have better colour and straighter growth.

They will start to look better before the reflectors due to the quality of TPN but the light is what will drive them to grow better.

Once the reflectors are in they are likely to grow a littlefaster and use a little more CO2 so keep an eye on the drop checker after tehy are fitted to see if you need to turn the CO2 up any.
