Did I kill my GSP?

[Dylan7huskies]

I had to remove almost half of what was on the plug of my GSP and now it hasn’t bloomed in over 2 days. Is it dead?

Highly doubt it.

Why did you remove it? It will take a few days to a couple weeks but it will come back. Just leave it alone

Green Star Polyps are tough to kill. They are the creature in your favorite monster movie that you can shoot many times and it just keeps coming back. They are sensitive, so if you move them or change the conditions, they might hide for awhile.

As long as theres tissue shouldn't be an issue

The only time i have ever killed gsp is when i first started (nutes got crazy high) and when i put it under a really shadded spot. They like lower light but as long as they have some they do fine. Is it under a direct light source? Or off to the side of lighting?

I ran an experiment in my frag tank with gsp. One directly under my kessil 360w and one on the far edge of the tank where the light literally barely hit it. The one under the light directly did not do well. Never died, but small small polyps and never grew. One on the edge of tank grew lots and had nice long polyps. Just something to think about.

I have two and the one under low light has grown back.

I am having same issues now. Ever since I got my GSP It hasn't opened up. When I first got it. I washed it and used a brush to remove algae from previous owner. Now they don't open up at all.
I see green dots only but hardly any polyps. Got this one 2 weeks back already. entire GSP mat is seems to be breaking apart and now I have like 4 pieces of GSP mat. What did I do wrong here :/
