[APD] RE: internode distance

["Thomas Barr" <tcbiii at earthlink_net>]

Crowding (This occurs in forest as well with trees and other plants, and in
aquatic systems), intensity, nutrient status(CO2, macro nutrients), color
temps/wavelenth are not relevant at our depths, there is little selective
nm extinction at less than 24 inches~ 60cm in clear fresh water.
Some may want to argue about it, but I do not see any differences, never
have.
Plants adapt to the color differences anyway and it gets back to an issue
of intensity rather than wavelength.
Trimming/pruning routines and branching/canopy also plays a role.
You can a high light tank but a dark corner may have a plant that is
reaching for more light.
So add placement to that list.

Prune more often, add more PO4/trace/CO2 is a general notion I suggest.
