Java Fern Windelov - care - 11-11-2007, 01:23 PM

Hi all,


I have 3x150w 6500k MH on a 180 with full EI and 30 ppm c02 (4kh drop checker).

+/- 2.75 - 3.0 tsp KN03 3x a week (N)
+/- 3/4 - 1.0 tsp KH2P04 3x a week (P)
+/- 3/4 - tsp (45 ml) Trace 3x a week
50% weekly water change with Prime


Questions:

1. I see some of the lacy tips are brown/black or dis-colored, but the rest of the leave is young/. Any tips to prevent this? I just bought them, so some are like that already. I want them to look nice and green like the others.........

2. Is this too much light for this plant? My 'normal' variety of Java Fern is doing well, but did not want to assume........I can place it so it gets more shade or current.

BTW I also notice the normal variety grows much better when placed in the current than not. I knew this was true for Bolbitis, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised based on what we know now about water current and plant growth.


Thanks in advance for any tips.


Gerry.
