Fog clones... life support?

[turtle420]

Hello my good hydro friends,

I'm posting here to ask for your help... as you may know, my thread is over @ the Closet/Cabinet section... but, my clones are getting grown with a NutraMist fogger... thus, these cannabis plants are considered "hydro". Or aero. Or foggy. Whatever...

Here's my thread over @ Cabinet section::::

And here's a copy/paste of my last post (#404) outlining my cloning problems. Thanks for helping out.


Hello guys,

I'm posting cause I'm a little worried.

My clones ain't looking that good.... yeah, yeah, I know you told me not to put them into 12/12, but I'm stupid.

So, working with what I've got, please take a look @ the pics. I've uploaded them in high resolution (sorry to people with dial-up) so you can zoom-in and judge by yourselves. Any takes on their problems?

Nutrients: Half the dose General Hydroponics recommends for clones. I've got the GH 3-part, and I used their chart. I used the ratios for "clones", and I halved them. I mixed everything for 1 gallon, then added 1 more gallon of water. Halved.

The fog times are: 1minON/9minOFF. Again, NutraMist fogger.

2 CFLs turned ON... each is 42Watts, "comparable" to 150W incandescent.

Any takes? Ideas? Suggestions?
More fog? Less fog? More nutes? Less nutes?

Thank you, and may god bless our ... ??? Puppies? Trees!

BTW: Oh yeah, mothers are doing fine.

Please feel free to make suggestions here, or over there. I'd appreciate them very much.

Thanks again :)

I just updated the grow's thread...
The clones have roots. Here's a copy/paste of the update...

Alright guys, I see a couple of replies that I want to answer... but before any of you log off, I'd like to post some pictures and a Clone Update...

I went to WalMart because I didn't want to wait until tomorrow to do the clones... so I went out to pick-up a Sterilite tub. Fine... I did the holes, the airstone, pump, etc.... etc...

I took out my clones from the cabinet, and started taking the "fog cloner" apart... when I separated the 6" pot from the top "humidity dome", I was shocked and surprised to find the clones had foggy roots!!!

They've got roots!!! Oh yeah, the thing about the fog "micro hairs", totally true. The roots looked... well, kind of "spongy" like.

I tried to get some pics, I hope you enjoy.

So, after seeing that the clones have roots, I'm wondering...

What else could be causing the clones to look in such a bad shape? Should I remove the humidity dome?
Should I increase the fog ON time (currently @ 1minON/9minOFF)?
Should I DEcrease the fog ON time?

Should I increase the nutes?

Should I... ???

Please look @ the pictures, they where all taken @ the same time...
Although they've got roots, you can see their poor appereance top-side...

Please help, thanks!
