So, it took 15 days for the clones to root, but I'm kinda worried about the yellow leaf tips. What do I need to change? Can I leave them in the dome and tray for a few more days? Do they need ventilation yet? Also, now that they're rooted, can I move the light closer or will that make the leaves yellow(er)? At what point do I drop the humidity?
whats ur humidity at now?? i just keep mine at around 40 to 50 % yea u can take the dome off now and put a lil air on them and as far as the yellowing as long as it's not getting worse u should be fine is it still just yellow or does it look burnt??
Yellowing of leaves in clones means roots are in business and they need some food...just a bit.
yea i was gonna say maybe there starting to use the nitrogen in the leafs
Once they get 2 or 3 inches of roots they can handle a slight bit of nutrients.
thanks a lot for the responses. I took the dome off last night, started watering the RR plugs a little more often and they look good. Most of them have 1/4" roots coming out of the sides of the plug.
I have a few questions...
When should I put them into the hydroton?
How strong on the nutes?
I'm going to have to build a second box and drip system so I can veg these while the others flower. How important are light leaks during veg? should I fim them or top them or a combo of the two (if so, how?)
I plan on scrogging next grow, is it ok to put the two or three plants in 1 large container with the hydroton?
Hey BTW good job, my last one wasn't my best, just keep attention to the critical details and the rest falls into place. Don't get lazy....that kinda got me after a few grows amd kicked me in the ass.
Day 24 of flowering... think its time for full stregnth nutes now?
Plants look great btw, they're stretching pretty fast, about 3/4" - 1" a day for the biggest one, does this eventually stop?. I lowered the light 7-8" from the highest plants' top, added a fan that blows right over the top of the plants and over the glass on the light. Still a nice 74-79 degrees with the light on. Nute change tomorrow, I'll get a few pics up asap.
Killed a clone yesterday...16 hours at work kept me away, the tray dried up and dried a few of the RR plugs out. I watered 2 of the droopy ones and they seem to be doing fine, the other plugs held their moisture. Also getting some soil for the clone I plan on mothering... or would it be better to re-veg the plant I have in flower right now?
I also have a couple ?'s... 2 posts above this one... Thanks!!!! You guys are the best!!!
when they have a good root system,just like u would from seed,nutes too,light leaks on veg what do u mean by this as long as there 18/6 or 24/0 u won't have a problem in veg or are u gonna have them both in the same room and ur gonna make a lil closed in box for them?and u can't top and fimm only 1 or the other i would fimm goto faq or type in fimm u should find a tut on itQuote:

About 1/4 to 1/3 strength nutes at first, every week or two increase until full strength.
A few light leaks are OK. It doesn't have to be 100% light proof, but it should be mostly. I'd say 95% light proof is fine.
I would guess several plants in one big container of hydroton should be fine, just give them their space. I did it in dirt once and everything was fine.
