I'm not too impressed with this so far. It looks odd and it's growing slower than I expected, but it still has half a gallon of nutrient solution left, so maybe it will improve.

I forgot about this one, but when I checked on it today, it was close to dead so I got rid of it.The leaves looked very unhealthy despite having nutrient solution remaining. No algae. I think the nutrient solution was depleted.
