Try to add some potassium. Plants need nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus

as
their main nutrients. You already have plenty of NO3 without

supplementing
any, which means you probably have enough PO4. You're also adding

traces,
which leaves only potassium. Get a bottle of Flourish Potassium. If that
improves things, look into finding some dry potassium sulfate

Hmm..IIRC, flourish doesn't provide trace elements at all. I have a bottle
of Seachem Trace around here somewhere, I'll check the ingredients. Thanks
much.



No, Flourish is precisely a trace supplement. Flourish Trace is one too,
except it doesn't have iron. You'd use it if you didn't want to add iron for
some reason.
