Add Grow Lights Do Morning Glory Plants have to be planted east to Flower?
I'm growing my morning glory vine inside my room with adequate conditions. It gets partial sun all day long from my window and is very healthy. I also opted to add humidifier to my room which has really helps make my plant thrive. One thing is no Flowers. I t is Heavenly Blue strain. I am not finding this surprising because it is only about 2 months old but I read that they have to have sunlight in the morning thus spawning the name Morning glories. My window does not face east but rather NW. So I was wondering if it gets enough light to grow nice and plentiful will it still need to be planted to the east. I can transplant but not now because it is way to harsh outside. I need flowers so does anyone know if I have to plant it so where it gets sunlight directly in the morning. Thanks
I've planted them east, I've planted them west, they've thrived and bloomed in both locations. On the east fence, the blooms lasted longer, because the sun didn't cause them to wither as quickly as the ones on the west fence.
Growing them indoors; that's interesting. You may have to wait a while longer for them to bloom, it seems to take the plants a long time to get to the blooming staage, but it should happen pretty soon.
All the best with your morning glories!

No complaints, but why doesn't my tank grow algae...?
Well, it grows a tiny bit of brown algae on one of the tubes and a tiny bit on the glass, but that is it. I hear of all of these problems of it taking over. I have 1 oscar and I never change the water, just add more when the water evaporates. The tank is not clean, lots of leftover food on the bottom. Aren't these the main causes of it? Why then does my tank not grow algae? I even leave the light on from noon to midnight. Is it an enigma or does anyone know why this might be?
There could be a number of reasons. Lack of light. Lack of nutrients like phosphates, iron.... pH.
PS- Note that you really need to change out some of the water every so often. With a good filter, not having to many fish, or over feeding. Bacteria will convert ammonia to nitrites, and nitrites to nitrates. The problem is nothing converts nitrate into any thing. (Well if you had 10-20 times the mass of green plants that would work.) So nitrates will just build up to toxic levels. The fact that you are growing brown algae indicates low light lighting, and high nitrates.
