Oh My God..I see why ur plants started a huge argument in the other thread.

go to walmart right now and get some miracle gro potting mix.

-replant ASAP-

make sure the soil has plent of "little white balls" (perlite) in it so the roots can breath.

but please, whatever you do, for the sake of your plants get some new soil.

Any YES on the Humidity dome (ziploc bag) idea, clones are supposed to have 100% humidity until they root.

and what is ur light schedule? 24/0 I hope, with those temps it would be best to run the lights 24/0 and turn all fans off.

and yes on clipping the tips of the leaves on the clone, it promotes growth to other areas of the plant when u clip the ends of the leaves.

hopes this helps, plz respond asap

ok i will look into the dome idea. i will trim the leaves tonight. I grabbed an old small cabinet from work today and turned it into a small box with one of my CFL's. I put my seedling in there. the temp is dropping too much in the box outside so the seedlings stem is turning red/purple. hopefully this helps until its a bit stronger and can survive my horrid conditions outside. i will post some pics of it inna few hours.

the only thing left inside my box now is my clones so i will switch the lighting to 24/0. I noticed a bit of the flower in the top of the taller clone. is this ok? or is it no good? i will see if i can get a hold of some miracle grow potting soil later tonight. Clones have been in the box for 12 days now. the look bad. anyone think if i can get this right they will come back?


***SEEDLING BOX PICS UPDATE***

Let me know what you guys think. I had to bring it in to warm it up. Hopefully this CFL is enough to get it going until I can throw it back in the box with the MH.

that looks perfect for the two little babies
they're gonna enjoy the nice warmth of that light, and they probably wont stretch, check back on em in about 12 hrs and they should be *ahem*...pointing straight up

Alright, I clipped some leafs. Took 1 fan out for my seedling box, have 1 CFL (200 watt equivilant) 1 - 100 watt MH. Ive removed the timer and have the lights on 24/0, and ive turned off the exhaust/carbon filter fan. Temperature looks AWSOME. Above 20 degrees celcius!!!! PRAIZE THE WEED GODS and all of your help guys. Heres some pics. Let me know if the clipping looks good. And theres some good shots of the flowering on top. Will they live? give me the dirty!

The seedling looks better in his new small home already. i see alot of improvement. my second seed has germinated yet. he should pop up today or tomorrow im hoping. i started him a few days later.

I have sacrificed the clones. They still havnt rooted. All they are doing is dying. All the leaves have drooped and many have yellowed or even died. When i pulled them there were no roots or even signs. The stems were cut straight across and not on an angle like they should have been. that and they sat dry for about 45 minutes before they were re-planted!

anyways my first seedling is doing great in its new enviroment. The second one I germinated has cracked and grown about an inch. its been placed about a knucle and a half in the dirt and given water. And since the loss of my clones I have started my last seedling. Hopefully it will sprout up nice and fast. I will keep my seedlings in my small warm box until I see a third set of leaves then they will be put in the main grow box. Until then my friends thanks for your efforts to help me save my clones. they were a lost cause. I will be back with pics from my seed babies!!!
