This clone is having problems. Month old.

cc1.jpgcc2.jpgcc3.jpgThe one with the problems should be apparent (left one). I understand the light setup is far from optimal for plants those size, that's another story. Plan on improving that soon.

However, the girl with the issues has been exhibiting these symptoms for a while now. I just tried a flush/fed it 1/2 strength nutes after(did this last night) but the difference is minimal. This morning there seems to be healthy leaves forming (new growth) but the plant remains sickly looking on the whole.

Possible root rot? I am not too familiar with those symptoms actually. Can she be saved my homies.

It should be bettter than that even under the cfls. Looks like overwatering, let the pot dry between waterings so the pot is very light to lift compared to when its just watered.

They definitely look overwatered I agree. And odds are if they are overwatered they are getting too much nutrients. You said you "flushed" it, those are in soil right? What kind of soil, what kind of nutes? Basically looks like too much water too much food.

ill just leave them alone, then. I definitely don't think I overwatered but the pot might be too big and soil isn't draining quickly enough.. idk

While this may be easily mistaken for overwatering, the texture of the leaves and the way that they curl otherwise suggests heat damage. Check on that.

Temps are a solid 65-75f all the time.

Does anyone think this is root-rot? I've read somewhere the ramhorn thing is a symptom.

well if its a clone, there are no roots lol. overwatering can lead to root rot tho.

what nutrients did you give it, i heard that some phosphorus helps stimulate root growth, and nitrogen too early on is horrible for rooting. also try putting a dome or something on it, as the humidity will help a lot.
water less, that way the roots have to grow more to get more water, and try foliar feeding the plant to keep it well fed.

did you look at my plants? maybe clone is the wrong term to use. They *were* clones, now they are growing plants. Please take a look at pictures.

Root rot would normally take longer to set in than your plants have been alive. Really leaning towards too much water and food. Again, what kind of soil, what knd of nutes are you using? Trying to help but you have to give more info.

Nitrogen toxicity, classic clawing. The affected leaves will remain that way. Watch the new growth and back off the N some. Is that preferted soil by chance? They do also look over watered and over watering is only compouned by preferted soil. Every time you run water through the pot you just release more nutes....

It is FFOF soil with powdered dolomite lime added at a ratio if 1tbsp per gallon of soil.

Roughly an inch of perlite at the bottom for drainage.

I seriously hadn't fed or watered that plant in about a week. The soil was still moist due to the small root system when I transplanted.

Either way, I guess I'll just not water her for a long time.. Does anyone else suggest what to do? If you need more information, I'll gladly provide any and all.
