So i just set up this pond and put some floating wisteria in and it’s dying the leaves are falling of and it’s going white and in my fish tank it’s green and really nice so I don’t now what’s going on.
 
What are the temperature and pH of your pond, similar to your tank's?
 
I'm just thinking the temp of the pond could be a bit too high during midday, higher than what the plant can tolerate.
 
Temperature is one issue, but I would think not the issue. Light may be...is it bright light, direct sun, or shade? Another factor could be nutrients, especially if you were adding plant supplements to the tank but not the pond.
 
The
I'm guessing here, maybe around 30C? But then again, if your guppies survive OK, it shouldn't be that hot.
Duckweed will grow like, weed :D
guppy’s are going well but it’s wierd it dosent matter I’ll just add some of the duckweed in

No I don’t add any plant supplements to any of my tanks or ponds and it gets light half the day but ther are only two fish in the pond.

YOu likely have a nutrient deficiency and as a result your plants are dying. Leaves falling off the plants is an indication of a mobil nutrient deficiency. Mobil nutrients are Nitrogen, Potassium, Magnesium, Phosphate, chlorine, Molybdenum or nickel. If just one of the above nutrients is missing the leaves will die and fall of the plant. White leaves could also be a indication of nitrogen deficiency.

YOu probably don't have enough fish in the pond to supply enough for the plants. Fertilizer would probably help.
