i have a 400 w hps and i have 14 plants under it, i just ordered a 600w hps bcuz i am afraid that the 400w light will not produce, i was wondering if it is ok to mix a 400 and a 600 and how should i hang them to make sure the whole garden is getting the same amount of light. Also i have provided a few pics i took a week ago i will post new ones asap but they are a week into flowering in the pics and all have grown alot more since i took these pics. almost 3 feet tall on the taller ones u see in the pics today and they are only about a foot and a half in these pics.

I put my girls outside, well sort of.
I put them in my shed that I modified. I took the roof off and lined the inside with mylar.
All my clones died. I have no idea what I am doing and it shows....

they all look dried out bassman. To me it looks like you could save most of those clones. Take them all back out of those little cubes you have them in. Re-snip the bottom of the clone and pop them back into a jar of water or a shot glass. The clones will be back up in no time I guarantee (if you haven't thrown them out already)

then get those cubes soaked again, and cover that tray to keep humidity in. 1 or 2 simple cfls hanging above the tray will get those clones rooted.

Agreed. I salvaged a shitload of clones that got nuked by an overactive heater. Water em and put that dome back on, pronto!

I re-snipped the stems and put them in cups, been 30-45 min so far...no improvement. I think maybe I over misted them, they had the dome on them and it made it too steamy maybe? Maybe they need a heating pad, gets like 60* at night in my house.

I think it is the opposite, not enough heat, I never use heater, but it got 78* in the house 1st day then 58-60* at night.

Awwwww sorry bassman :-( like D said, they dont need much light to get rooted. So were they getting light from the sun? that could have fryed them and they also look like they dried out. You will get it sooner than you think :-) just a little light, a clean razor, and a small amount of root hormone and you should be getting a good 90% root rate. I get a high rooting % but only keep the top 10% maybe... Gotta pick the best of the best :-)

I would venture the sun fried them. Clones need very little light. You're trying to grow roots, not leaves. Like dst said, one or two low powered cfl's would do the trick.

patience, some should come back.....

Here's my little veg tent. I was looking at it and thinking, what a waste of space everything is down below and there is this big open space up top. So I stuck a frame in it and hung my ghetto lights on that (mix of cfl's 2700, 4100, 6500k). I had a spare kitchen cupboard door, cut that down to size, plonked that on top of the frame, and hung a couple of T8's up top. Probably get another tomorrow...or sometime soon, lol (the units were 5.99 each, but I bought phillips cool light strips and they were 5.99.) Anyway, got twice as much space now :)


Peace, DST

Duchie, for all intents and purposes my plants popped on or about the fist, second or third of february so they are basically sixty three days old. I vegged them for four weeks plus and they have been in 12/12 for just over four weeks now. Something like sixty three days old, the killing fields is a wee bit younger and she was an extremely slow starter but she's catching up now. Had to supercrop the top again on saturday.

Hey, hey 600!
What it be?
@ Bassman:
Sorry to hear about your clones! :-(
Around the new year I got sick with the flu real bad and wasn't able to tend to a batch of seedlings and lost them all, so I feel your pain, man!
Some of your babies in the pics were wilted badly, but still had signs of green, so I hope some will recover for you.
Fingers crossed while knocking on wood! :-)

I just got done contra down-canning my little girls from party cups into (*edit) 3/4-gallon pots a few minutes ago.
Eight MTF clones, and 3 Northern Berry clones, all 16 days old.



Stopped into a nursery & garden supply store this morning to get some soil & perlite for the re-potting and found out they carry FFOF, so picked up a big bag of that a huge bag of perlite.
While walking with the sales lady through the store I spotted some 3-gallon air pots and mentioned it to her. It's new this season for their store, and I let her know I was going to be back to get me some. $9 each for 3-gallon air pots ain't to shabby, so will be picking up enough to re-pot the clones when they are ready for their final home. :-)

Hope everyone's day goes well!
Peace!

I've only got about 20 minutes of my day left, lol. It was okay for a Monday I guess.

Hey Gen, it does look quite close, but then it's hard to tell with pics. My plants are right up to my cool tube, but then I normally make sure they are at the bottom or top of the cool tube (which is practially cold to touch anyway) Anyway, looks like you can adjust it pretty easy so unless they are showing signs of it then keep em cosy!!

Peace, DST
