A person from one of Ukranian forums sent me an attached picture.
What do you think is wrong with these plants?

Yes, about that "myth-busting-thing" everyone seems to be so much into...Tom Barr;12753 said:Because thwen you get folks that do the bandwagoneering and me too effect, then a myth is born.

When a bunch of people starts to listen to one single individual and not question anything he/she says, alot of myths can be born.

I'm the good guy here. He who stands before the tank about to be run over =)

Was he wrong? You can't explain this by saying "it never happened to me".
Me personally can fix it by stop dosing KH2PO4 - always when I've tried to up the PO4-dosage some plants curled up (L. glandulosa, L. inclinata, A. reineckii) and ran EI all the way and the tank looked good enough to give me placing in contests. But those curled and stunted new tips on those plants are going to make me crazy.
EI clearly is not the way for those plants for many people with low KH.
The answer I guess is to get some bicarbonate (I'm using dolomite which clouds the water).. Would *love* to know why low KH and inert substrate cause this..

Ok, that sounds interesting. Just have to nail that last thingy then.When something else is not in balance(If PO4 is at 2ppm, we can safely say it's not limiting), limiting PO4 will slow that effect from the unknown limitation down and rectify it.
That sounds more like what you and Kekon are seeing.
