What is wrong with my clone?

[Capt. Kush]

I always use a clear 2 liter coke bottle with the top cut off. Mist a little to bring back humidity and she'll perk back up. And continue to do that as needed until she hardeneds off.

Good idea. I'll try this next time.

 

[Capt. Kush]

^^^ this... and I would also trim off that bottom leaf to reduce surface area and thus limit transpiration. The undeveloped root system cant keep up with the moisture that is being lost!

Ok. I'll do this later. Thanks!

 

[Capt. Kush]

The suspense is killing me.

What did the roots look like when she went into your mix?

Good luck, we're all counting on you.

They looked white and healthy.
My Animal cookies clone had tips that looked dry and brownish. What does that mean? I should've taken a picture.

 

[Capt. Kush]

El capitan......

its important to know.....

what your plant was rooted in....

Im going to guess tell me if Im right.....

Your clone was bare root..... rooted in one of those misting chambers???/

The last clones I got came from that environment......

Did yours???

My clone was in rockwool. I don't know if it was in one of misting chambers. The guy just brought it out from the back, so I didn't see.

 

[Budley Doright]

Rockwool....

ok.... that means there would be no transplant shock.....

unless you disturbed the roots......

The solution imo...is simple.....

and should be good advice to anyone.....

Make sure that the water availability is the same...or close....

between cloning and transplant.....


Every gardener knows..... give your plant a nice big drink of water when you transplant....


Its my guess your medium was much dryer than the environment the clone came from....

 

[Capt. Kush]

Tie a grocery bag over the pot for a few days. She needs humidity. She should fix herself within the next 12 hours after you add the bag. You will still need to keep the bag on her for a few days to be safe.

Should I still keep the bag over it?

 

[DoubleTripleOG]

I'm no Snype, but it's safe to say you can take the bag off for good. By the looks of it, you may wanna let it dry out considerably before you water it again.

Drywall bucket covered with clear plastic shower cap (dollar store) makes a great humidity dome for larger sized babies...beats the shit out of covering the plant with a shopping bag.

Did the roots start to circle a little when you pulled it out of it's container? When I first started I would immediately transplant when I got home until I found out they usually have no root system established yet so they got over watered easy. Now I leave them for a week or two before I transplant and I can check on it's progress when the dirt is dry by pulling it out of the pot. When they're very dry it's easy to do this. Then I water the base of the plant so there is only a 3-4" diameter wet spot by the plant. You can water it then feel how heavy the pot is then the next day lift the pot to feel weight and again the next day till when you pick it up there's barely any weight to it. Good luck and it looks like it will pull through.

I'm not sure if they circled a little.
The brown tips on this clone is nute burn, right?

 

[Capt. Kush]

Damn. I posted the wrong pic.

Do you have spider mites? The dots concern me. What do ya'll think?

 

[Dropped Cat]

Totally isolate the new cuts bro, looks bad.

 

[Former Guest]

Every time I've bought clones they come with bugs.

I sprayed it with an organic pesticide. What else do you recommend?

 

[Former Guest]

Spray every three days for two weeks. Organic is perfect. If you just got a couple clones, it should be much easier. When you spray, after the spray dries, vacuum and mop with dome soapy water. You can miss one that falls off the plant. I like Nuke Em. It's a bit spendy but I used it a lot because application rate is better than others. Some like neem, lavendar, and some other essential oil. The recipe is in a thread by Photosynthesis.

Will do. I have some neem oil and lavender essential oil, so I will try that as well.

Hey, I was looking to make some enzyme tea, which seeds do you recommend I buy? Barley, alfalfa, wheatgrass....

 

[Former Guest]

Barley is the go to seed. You can use alfalfa too.

 

[Capt. Kush]

Gonna buy me some of those seeds then.
Have you ever used AgSil 16H?
