	Amazon swords dont look well
Forever-mango Fish Addict Posts: 611 Kudos: 586 Votes: 35 Registered: 01-Dec-2003	I have recently discovered that the inner leaves are dieing and the outer leaves are still green. I think the swords are dieing I only have about 1.5watts/gal i think but everything else is growing well, including my Amazon Melon. My Amazon Swords hasnt grown and is sort of dieing. Need help asap.

If you are really worried I would pull it up and check the roots and trim out any brown dead ones as they can lead to new roots rotting as well. I have grown plenty of Amazons Swords in lower WPG I have some in my 20H with only one 15w bulb and it grows slower than normal but it grows none the less.
