OK, it's been a week since I pushed the glutamic acid tablet (deep) into the substrate of my freshwater planted tank. I had put it close to a plant that wasn't doing much growth-wise. At first glance I saw no change. Then I looked a bit more. I did notice that the leaves looked a bit greener and lighter. They tended to grow darker and darker until they were brown. The whole plant just looks 'newer', or maybe it's mind playing tricks on me. The next closest plant seems to be doing well too, but I'm not sure it's because of the GA or not.

So, so far, not a lot of change. But 1 week isn't much time. I'm sure that when I get some positive change it will be obvious.

No bad changes either. No algae bloom and no evidence of ammonia toxicity.
