Oh dammit! They are in soil now I forgot. Tey are in dixie cups and no way they will fit in the jiffy box.

70 degrees is fine, but the rooting medium needs to be as close to 75F and consistant as possible

Its hard to tell in the picture. The leaves will yellow as they root as they use stored food from the leaves since they dont have roots to get food. You need a dome cover on them.Is that rockwool you started them in? The hole should have been pinched closed as air will kill new roots trying to form and invite infection. Did you over water? You want the cubes just moist no wet and not dry just lightly moist.Did you pre soak the cubes in 5.5 ph balanced water as the cubes are ph to high from the factory and have to be rinsed and ph dropped then shake the cubes out getting excess water off.

Fuck....I dunno! I just bouht these and I paid a fortune...like $200 for 18 including gas. the guy said everything was fine and was definitely credible. they were watered, but I don't think over watered at all. They are in rockwool cubes but now they are in soil as well. I lightly packed it so air can't get in. I relaly don't know what else to say.

On clones they dont need fans.Just keep them in the clone dome with like a 4 foot florescent shop light right on top just about touching the leaves til the roots come out the bottom then transplants them into good soil if thats what your gonna grow in.Let me see if I have some pics...Heres a few of new clones with lights on top of the dome and then the same clones at day 12 in soil under plain old T8 commercial light hardwired with a plug (cost $40)

you can try and nurse them if they had roots when they went into dirt. If they didnt have roots then you just can try and see

Yea I really need more professional help. The guy at the hydro store is justtrying to cover his ass from the feds, and since I am not really in the "pot" community I have little chance of getting any help.

Just keep them moist and not too hot/cold. I've done some mean shit to plants and it's amazing how often they pull through.

God...that makes me feel alot better. This is gonna be one hellava rosky comeback, though. do you mean I should spray them with a water mist? should anything (nutes) be in the water?

Thanks. I might need that luck. BTW I have the 5 54w t5's sitting about 3-6 inches off them and they are well saturated with light and are not hot...should I try to bring the light closer or use less/more light?

Yes spray them down nicely once or twice a day. The lights and heights sound good to me.
