Does anyone know why the new leaves on my amazon sword are staying a
reddish
brown color?........

(I've posted this before but didn't get as much help as I needed at the
time)

You'd get much more if try to define a specie of your sword.
A lot of them have an ability to develope a reddish leaf tissue under
certain conditions, usually they're definite light spectrum, adequate
intensity and lower temperature.
Anyway, the lack of nitrates is the last thing I would explore in similar
situation.
