I did an experiment 11 years ago with a large green milli colony that just stopped growing after it reached a certain size. I never fagged it because I wanted to see how big it could get. Well it topped out at around 20" then instead of growing longer or taller it just grew thicker. But I really wanted to see some new growth. So I decided to cut a large section off the back to trigger new growth.

I've been able to duplicate this with Torts, Hawkins Echinata, Red Dragon, and many others.
