Does anyone know what is happening when duckweed leaves turn white

It's dying.... too much light/heat...

There is a "giant" duckweed native to the NT... which would probably be better suited than the "minor" variety.... but might need shading anyway...

I was thinking that may be the case I'll put some shade over the DW grow tank and keep the fingers crossed
Thanks Rup
your a great source of info

Wondering if anyone knew where to source the "Giant" Duckweed
I suspect its from the top end but wonder if a nursery may have it?
Is it as nutritious as the small variety?

I got a fair amount through an eBay deal last year... I'll see if I can find the seller... was up that way...

Thanks Rup

Yup, definately too hot. My weed lives under a tin roof now, nice and dark.

Thanks again for all the info
I have covered the small pot and it seems the DW is looking healthier. When I build my 2nd lot of grow beds I will design a space underneath that is cool and shaded for the DW
How's your water temp going OBO?
Last week we had a 43 degree day and my FT pond didn't get over 27
I was very pleased
Looking forward to getting my 1st lot of 200 SP just after Christmas
