    imo you should place it somewhere so its growth with be contained, try a rock that wont allow it to spread!

    i've had a little frag (~30 heads) for a little over a month and has attached firmly to a flat rock and has come close to being double in size/heads. If you have MH or lots of T5s you dont need to put it near the top to grow fast.

    I had GSP on the bottom of my 20" tall tank under 2 PC bulbs and it still grew like a weed.
