Hi guys,
I'm new to the boards, but I've been reading posts for over a year now. I've done a bit of searching, but I can't seem to find the answer to my problem.
I've weathered a flytrap over winter and he's come out of dormancy quite well.
When I took him out initially, all the leaves were a very dark green, but under the flourescent light I'm using, the new growth looks a little yellow. I want to sum up the facts quickly and see if anyone can give me a response.
1) Medium 100% peat
2) Water every 3-4 days depending on how dry the medium gets (tray method)
3) 16 hour photoperiod with a 42w CFL (daylight 6500k)
4) I had the light at 2 inches before... moved back to about 6 inches now as I was unsure if that was causing the yellowing.
The trap looks a little yellow, but the main telling point is the middle of the leaf has a darker green line than the edges of the leaves. Will post a picture soon.
If anyone could help I would appreciate it!
