First off I think my 3 plants are doing exceptional except for the discoloration, what do you guys think I should do? I water then every 3 days or so, and as for light they are on a 12/12 schedule.

Now my other two are the problem. All the leafs were ripped off by a misc. animal.. Are they resalvageable? At this time I am giving them constant lighting, is that neccessary?

THanks breathren.

i think without any leaves you are screwed. i haven't had any plants come back, although i guess it's possible.

i'm sure someone else with more experience will chime in.

Gotta have something green and leafy. One leaf would have worked. A half a leaf may have been enough. No leaves, no growth. Stems don't photosynthesize as far as I know so those 2 are shot.

I have purposely taken a couple of clones on a near death ride because I had the room and the fortitude. Have brought them back from the dark side also, but they all had at least some leaf material to process light.

Thanks for the confirmation guys, it does look like it has a tiny tiny tiny leaf on it though. Perhaps that may regenerate it..?

One Small leaf is visible. Guess time will tell, updates soon

Conditions: Constant lighting and watering ever other day or 3rd day.

you don't need to water very often. there is nothing to use it all up. be careful or it can cause root rot.

is that a fluro? if so you can be withing 1-4" of the leaf. the stem doesn't need the light, the leaf does, to photosynthesize.
