Pretty much i have 9 clones that appear to be diff ages, sizes and strands. I transplanted from cups to 2 gallon pots. 1 per pot. I used organic fox farm soil... i have done ton of research and nutrient stuff for hydro setup and i have whole ebb n grow setup. These being in soil is screwing me up lol. Plan is to keep in soil and take clones off these in about a week an use those clones for the hydro... these look weak and look as if they would die first day in the ebb n grow right now.


There is a pic of them. Look better in picture lol. Stems are small and picked bunch of lower dead leafs already. My question is if i should use any nutrients right now? Also, if i should have them under my t5 in another tent or keep them under my 1000w blue light? 1kw light puts out blue an orange color whereas, the t5 is 4ft 4bulb white.

I used the chart for the "b.c." brand. Ph was 5.8 and not sure of ppm cause needs to be calibrated but i know i measure perfectly... then i watered it down more till ppm was 380 and second batch was 440.

Im nervous about soil cause i used normal 1100 ppm and 6.0hp nutrient mix for veg like it says on these 2 haze plants and they shrivled and showed signs of nit burns and all sorts of deficiency so i flushed them and cut lower fan leaves so the small leafs could get light... they look way better now with normal tap water which is 140ppm and 7.0ph. (Haze plants are mainly for clones cause got them for free and theyre in garbage soil and are now 3months into veg)

Oh yeah and ignor my attempt at making a clone machine... this should work by theory (air pump inside bucket and the bottom of cover is moist an wet) but first morning after cutting and planting with root gel and they topped over. I misted with water and give them couple days to go back up but seems hopeless lol. Might be buying a clone machine.

Hey Ricky. They dont look all that bad. I would just keep watering them when they need it and in the mean time get some sort of foiler spray for vegging. i use liquid karma on my plants every week i cant say enough good stuff about this product. I also use when i transplant anything. it does wonders for the roots. I would be putting them under the 1000 watter about 18-24 inches above the plants and get some air moving around them. good luck

Bigger pots really? Only have 8ft tall tent plus the 3 1kws for flower so only reall can be 5 1/2ft to 6ft from bottom of pot to the top leafs of plants.... if i put them into 5gal pots or bigger dont you think they get too tall or can i still keep them to what size i need without tieing them down.
