Thanks guys....some of the clones are looking a bit more on the shitty side today then yesterday. Probably a combination of ALOT of things....going from floro to 1000W MH....different light schedule...different nutes....that shitty water i gave them. As long as they can make it though till the next watering I should be able to correct a few problems. Tomorrow will be a full 3 days since last watering yet this sunshine mix number 4 advanced holds water a little bit more then I would like. The pots still have a bit of weight to them but at the same time if most of thats in the bottom i doubt the roots have stretched far enough to reach that water. Might give them a watering tomorrow if the top 4 inches are so are feeling a bit dry with just plain distilled water to help them out a bit....then the following water will start back the nutes with RO water at about half of the recommended amount for their age.

hopefully they will all make it, sounds like they had some stress but nothing that should kill or cripple them, good luck with the babies!

seems like the 5 head bands is looking the sickest...on the other end of that the 5 alien OGs looks super healthy.

Hey Phish, those Og kind seems bullet proof, nothing really bothers them and they finish fast. They call it the mutt of weed, I know you can go wrong with any Og. strains... have fun...rw

Yeah man. Pretty much got my flower room all light proof now...just need to figure out where I want to stick the CO2 bottle and hang these lights and it should be ready to rock.

Welp i watered today...used just straight distilled water. As weird as it seems...the ones that arent doing well almost look like they need nitrogen. Leaves are turning yellow as shit. Must have been that fucked up tap water causing some of them to lock out. Got an RO system in the works by next watering...and going to grab some ph up and ph down to make sure everything is kosher. The Alien OG, OG 18 and Querkle all look pretty good. The headband and skywalker OG's are looking sickly but still living.

Hey Phish, you should try feeding them a little something. I think they may be ready. Plus that distilled and R/O water has no nutrients whatsoever in it. I would get some Superthrive, Thrive Alive B-1 Red, and Cal/Mag. Most people (even those that use R/O or distilled) will feed their plants tap water or bottled water when they are cuttings just to give them a little nutrients. I would mix up a 50/50 solution of Thrive Alive or any other 1-1-1 nute with Cal/Mag and a drop of Superthrive in the mix. Shoot for 300ppm. They will perk up overnight and the color will recover as well. Just my thoughts but that is my formula and seems to work really well.

well the nutes i have right now are floranova grow, floralicous plus and florablend. I was just giving them the distilled water because my last watering i fed them and i think it was a bit over the top for them. Just trying to give them a few days to recover from that and then go back with the nutes and see how they take to it. The problem is my tap water was already 300ppm and then i added nutes on top which probably took it up to 600-800 ppm. Wont make that mistake twice.

Gotcha. Well that's. A great formula for when you start cloning. I'd still get the Superthrive cause it's great for clones, transplants, and sick plants.

Hey Phish, That super thive works. I transplant a plant last night, I swear it grew at least 2" overnight...rw

i hope those strains work for you. and i hope you didnt just get them from any ol lifted truck driving homo in your town. Everything i have gotten og this og that from kids in IE turns out complete garbage. superthrive should cheer them up, always works for me with clones that arent happy.

Opinion of course, but that advanced mix4.. i had my helper pick me up some mix once and he brought home that ADvance mix4 which costs more, so i was hoping it was going to be tits. i hated that shit compared to the regular black bale. i couldnt get my girls to drink, they always seemed wet while the other ones, going side by side in the black bale were whoopin ass. I used the one bale for the whole run and everything in the advanced mix ended up a few inches shorter and not as beefy. Maybe i just suck and had some deficiencies... idk. but just a heads up that shit didnt work for me.

It just seems that this sunshine mix holds way too much water. Even after 5 days the pots still felt heavy and you could tell they still had quite a bit of water in them. I have a feeling that as someone mentioned in my other post this could be an un-intentional over watering problem. Tempted to go grab some ffof....some smaller pots...and transplant these into a smaller container with a better draining medium...and then after they recover i'll go back to bigger containers but keep using ffof.

idk about re-transplanting after there that shocked. if you fuck the small root system they have you might be tossing a few or waiting a weeek+ for good growth. i would try to get something for roots, i dont know your budget but roots excell and superthrive given to one of my clones.. a 2 gallon bucket i see roots at the bottom within a week tops. after you give them some goodies i wouldnt water again until you see signs of them drinking what you gave.

Alright...first i think i need to let these bad boys dry out. I dont like this sunshine mix at all. Should have stuck with what i already know works.

sunshine mix4 is the tits..lol you put 8.0ph'd water in a soilless medium...thats a huge no no. if your not going to ph your water, grab yourself some soil, it is alot easier for rookies(not hating).
