sickly clones

Hello, sorry to hear you have having problems. What power light are you using? sometimes putting them under a more powerful light can give them the energy to recover from delays quicker.

Hope this helps,

The yellowed tips look like the clone had a little too much light on em while they were rooting. The grayish looking edges are from a Phosphorus def...

Time to feed em IMO...

What's the PH? That SSH in the background looks like it's getting a little PH stress...could just be an optical illusion tho since the background is kinda fuzzy :confused:

i usually ph at either 5.9 or 6.0, never higher then 6 or lower then 5.8

i am going to feed them later today with 175ppm of Gh floranova grow and superthrive again. Should i also use some hygrozyme?

It definitely won't hurt anything to feed em some Hygrozyme...I use it religiously and love the results.

? - is that 175ppm gonna be 175ppm of FNG + 1 drop of ST or are you measuring the PPM with the superthrive in there? I stopped using ST a couple years ago since it would blow my PPMs up with only minute amounts...if you're measuring after the ST is added, that could explain why the plant isn't getting enough nutes.

Good point Sandman...besides, superthrive is only recommended for clones not yet showing roots. Once they have established roots, they should not be needing any B1. Good catch!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to MTF-Sandman again.

Peace

i can mix however(i usually drop in the ST first since it is so minimal ppm), i will try without the SuperThrive and just do a GH Floranova+Hygrozyme 175ppm. I am hesitant to go higher in ppm's at this stage and left them eat this up then raise up to 250ppm next feeding ...

yep... you need to back off the lights and above all feed them...

Mine perked up 4 days after giving them some pbp veg....

I use a dual 40w shop light for up to 100 or so clones...about a foot away. If you give them too much light energy, then they'll try to use that energy for photosynthesis and use up the stored nutes in the leaves instead of using that stored energy to create roots.

Your cuts look like they rooted fine tho...they just used up some of the reserve energy while doing it - no biggie, but it explains the yellowed leaf tips and gray leaf edges.

Give em some nutes and they'll perk back up in a few days to a week.

i like it when clones just keep growing like crazy after they are cut..if its a vigorous strain then they will still grow unfazed even with no roots..
