looks good man! no idea if a beta will produce enough nutes lol... but they breathe air so maybe you can nute the water a little and not kill it? don't they live in little shitty puddles in the wild?

originated in the rice patties i guess, Suprisingly the roots are flourishing, i hope the plant starts to grow more. the beta is actually a rather dirty fish i have come to discover, lot of cleaning thus far. i tookt he rocks out in hope that he will get after his food easier, it was not being eaten fast enough) i will post more pics incase your intrested, i think it will do ok

thanks for looking.

i have 6 diy bubble totes and a diy cloner...they all work wonders, the whole setup cost like just over 150 dollars with nutes, that will hopefullylast for the full grow cycle. diy works. you can check em out in my sig.

thanks again

Hello,

Update onthe ol Fish Tank Weed


my fish tank weed has grown about 2 inches up adn is getting bushier by the day, you cant really tell, but i raise the light every day or so. the roots have exploded. i took photos to show it off, my betta buddy is doing fine and i think he is keeping the plant healthy, it is a little bit of a light green color, but the rootts are brilliant white, it is hard to get them back in the grow container when i take them out, so thisis the last you will see of them.
i changed out the lights, i had 2 17w 2700k's, now i have 1 23w 6500k and a 42w 2700k, i think this will immensly help the overall performance. i decided i am goin to try to flower in this setup. so i will be constructing a box to house the plant setup, i am thinking of just using a carboard box...any thoughts on that?

just to points this out...those roots grew in 4 days is that normal?

I'm using organics in soil now - the ones I use would brown up the water, and I don't know how they would affect your pH, but from the ingredients I doubt they'd kill the fish.

It's not really for hydro, but I bet it'd work... There are like 5 or 6 total nutrients they suggest using but I just picked 2

Sucks about the males... Your fishtank plant is fem right?
