Mint Plant Leafs Question

What kind of mint?
I'm not sure whats going on with the leafs getting smaller.... do you mean that pre-existing leafs are like shrinking? Or do you mean the new leafs are smaller than the older leafs?
What is she feeding her mint? 2-3 days would definitely be too frequent, I dont think once a week would do any harm but i also don't think its quite necessary. I havnt fed my potted horse mint plant for about 3 or 4 weeks and it's growing very well, very dark green foliage.

New leafs that are smaller. I have my mint plants growing indoors under 2x 26w 6500k CFL lights and they are getting 17 hours of light every day

Not she but its a question about feeding. I haven't given my mint plants a single feeding since I go it about 2 or 3 months ago. I've read once a month and some once every 2 weeks.

new plant leaves are smaller. i know if a plant that requires a bit more sun and you stick it in shade that will force the leaves to be bigger...larger surface area = more area to photosynthesize to make up for lack of solar energy it receives. conversely if you take a plant that likes a bit of shade and plant it in sun the leaves will be smaller for the same reason.
