A-town... Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 co2 and intense lighting hav always kept my leaves down and nice and compact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oeminx Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Cutting all but 3 of surface leaves off on mine meant that the next 4-5 leaves were submerged leaves so i guess if you just keep cutting the surface leaves it should keep it low.
