So, I have 6 clones in an aero-cloner. For a lot of different reasons, they've been in the cloner for three weeks longer than they should have been. They're showing a lot of nutrient deficiencies and they're stretched rather badly. In short, they look like crap. At the same time, I'm pretty sure they'll recover with a little TLC.

I've finally got everything going right again, and they hydro system is ready for a new crop. Question is, do I plant the sick clones? Or do I start over with a new crop of clones?

FWIW, mama's ready for another trim, so it's not like I'll have a hard time getting a new set of cuttings, it's just a question of time. I'd like to get this crop finished before then end of April to avoid the heat issues I had with my last crop.

Plant them, give them a light foliar feed to get them over the deficiencies, take your new cuts... what's the worst that can happen... you end up with too many plants and save the most vigorous... and can share extras with a friend!

Any recommendations for a good foliar feed? I've never used one before :).

Your grow nute mixed to 1/4-1/2 of what the bottle recommends and with a drop of dish washing liquid soap added. Voila, a foliar fert!
