Ludwigia Pantanal stunting

I’m fairly happy with growth on all plants except ludwigia pantanal. Added a closeup in second photo - stunted growth + white coloration. Any overall deficiencies seen in tank? And specifically any idea what’s going on with ludwigia pantanal?

I’ll add some info:
6.4 ph co2 on
104 tds
2 kh
6.5 gh
Nitrates rise about 15 ppm per week (typical week starts at 10/15 ppm then reset with 50% WC with remineralized RO)
Add miracle grow daily that equals 13 ppm over week
Light stocking and light feeding
All visible growth is with miracle grow except altherneckii mini in front. I’d ignore those since recently planted

Increase Green Hopseed Density

I planted green hopseed one year ago and they’ve grown over 5 feet in that time however they lack density. Ideally these would be a privacy hedge. Any suggestions on how to increase density? I’ve trimmed the fronts 2 or 3 times in an attempt to promote more growth - I have not touched the tops. Fertilize every 6 months and water every 8 days for 3 hours through irrigation. During the cooler months I was closer to watering every 20 days

Thanks!
