Many thanks! I quickly looked up (so many types!) and it did say it will grow at an angle over the substrate instead of straight up when under high light which would explain that as well. It's doing really well but not too fast growing. Will have to see if I can source some more.
Exactly. I can imagine it taking a different form under your intense lighting. It looks the same mine did leaf wise but the spacing between the new leaves it a lot shorter in your pic which I can only attribute to high light.

(maybe I'll just browse at the lfs without buying anything).
Got another flower stem and poked it out of a gap. Just long enough so hope it survives. The other flower is still there. I bought a paintbrush to brush along the flower and will hopefully get seeds. Never done that before so will see how it goes. (It could stop with the flower stems now, not sure how to stop it ).
Holy cow - that's all sounding rather complicated. Sounds like a good experiment to me.
Maths, chemistry, now biology - like being back at school.
Good news is it looks like the second flower is up (hopefully). Grows maybe a half inch a day so will find out tomorrow I guess (no wonder it likes enriched substrates).
