First week of veg. - need some expert advice

[wehavegotajumper]

micro defs? also, to account for the Nitrogen deficiency, do you recommend me nuting? this is now about a week after transplant.

Nah, if the pH is good the FoxFarms fine- unless it's the Light Warrior or the starter mix, but those're kinda unusual.

what do the pro's reccomend as a ph tester? and also what to use as a balancer for my water in order to ph balance it. THANKS ALL!!!

also just to clarify, during veg, should i be giving the plants ANY darkness at all? I have only been running 24/0. that right?

bump help, bump

before nitrogen, think calcium and magnesium. if well rooted, then nitrogen study.

nitrogen + clones = not ideal.

rec 18/6 veg, 12/12 bloom. jury still out on 24/7.

i don't own stock in it, or sell it, but a product called MagiCal is worth checking into.
excellent for bonsai, too.

Just use fox farm neuts, you can use them soil or hydro, easy to use, comes with a list of when what how etc. Also charts for exact grow times.

Cloning 101

When a cutting is taken for a clone, it obviously has no roots, thusly no way of taking in nutrients. The cutting needs nutrition so it starts using nutrients stored in its leaves. By the time the cutting has roots, many of the leaves will be very yellow because the cutting has sucked all the life from them. These leaves will never recover. Some of the leaves that are yellowed to a lesser degree may recover. It is the new growth that you are interested in making sure remains healthy. Understand this principle and you will be much better prepared to deal with your young clones.

If you put the clones in smaller pots/cups for their first couple of weeks, it is easier to manage their root environment and get the plant over the stress of cloning and turn it into a thriving plant.

lemme know if there is a better way of posting pics for the future...i have pb but i couldn't figure out this forums way of getting pics to show up.

Adding a pix as an attachment works great. Just click the little paperclip at the top of the message controls when creating a new post, or responding to a post. You should be able to figure it out from there.:jointsmile:

I have very seldom and it's been a long time since I've lost any.Clones. PharmaCan,advised you as to how a clone survives. I am a true believer in superthrive. If you have used no nutes as of yet. I would water them with superthrive and even mix with your nute everytime you water.If they have taken root then they need to be fed with a low dose high nitrogen fert.Really up to you which product you use.They do have a chance to thrive!
