Hello guys,
I believe in this method but surely I am doing something wrong. I have a 40L tank with normal pot soil spraid with dilute macro and micro nutrients. A 36W compact fluerescent lamp for 12 hours per day and a glass lid to keep things humid. I tried to grow Eleocharis Parvula (Dwarf hairgrass) but it deteriorated, went brown and grew white fungi. I stopped the method and flooded the tank to prevent the plant for further deterioration but this is not the point. I thought I did everything right with the exception of the pot soil and the high temperatures in the country. So I ask:
1. Could it be that my substrate didn't have the nutrients my plants needed even though a dosed NPK, Iron and micronutrients as a dilute solution in the substrate?
2. The temperatures in Cyprus (mediteranian) are now rising and with the greenhouse effect created in the tank the temperature of the tank might have gone a bit too high for the plants to survive?
Thanks in advance
