Is there any special trick in growing as the six I just put in all have melted within two weeks all other plants perfect.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I had the same plants do the same thing not to long ago. I seemed to me like it was just a light thing, and looking at your profile you have less light then me, that would be my best guess.

keith - I think that's probably right. Besides the normal melting phase, I've found melon swords to be pretty picking, or I should say more demanding than some other swords. I had one in 2.4 WPG with pressurized CO2 and plant tabs and its leaves were still thin and yellowish. But it could also be a normal melt-off, so maybe just wait and see.


Back in the saddle!
