So ur saying u "do" see new growth ? Just very little of it right? Well so long new growth is popping up ur fine. Ur plant is getting used to ur tank parameters so the old leaves will melt away and the plant will trow out new leaves better suited for ur tank. It takes plants a week to at times maybe 3 to get used to ur tank so don't worry. Planted tanks are a thing of patience. Don't expect to see crazy growth with ur set up

The length o time won't affect te growth rte as much as adding co2 will so if u want faster growth get co2. Utube has a lot of DIY co2 vids or do paintball co2 here is the link http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/showthread.php?t=115850.

Thanks so much for the info!! I'm not sure if there is new growth, or its just existing. I'll post a pic of the tank! I'm excited to get into the hobby. I've been researching for a couple years, and its nice to actually have one of my own! wish me luck!! haha
