 Recently, most of my Amazon Swords have started generating leaves that are

 enough for the tank.  I am using VHO lights (330 watts of Aqua Suns) that
 have been over the tank for eight months. I fertilize with PMDD and inject

I would assume you have a variety of swords with simply large tall growth.
What are commonly called swords in the average pet store may be any of
several actual species.  Some are limited to 12 inches, others to 16 inches
and some will easily grow to 2 or 3 times that.  Also some of them will grow
nicely even with there leaves out of the water.
