my clones are starting to turn yellow...please help

[Mr. Clandestine]

When should i prune the old leaves that have cut and turned yellow at the tips?

You can just let them fall off, if you really want to. The clones will continue to use the bits of leaf that are still alive until there's nothing left to use and the leaf falls off at the stem.

Can someone help me out with my nutes. I'm still new and nervous about giving my plants something they dont want.:wtf: Thank you once again for your opinions

Here are some pics finally pic 1- all 4 clones the night i got them...pic 2- a top view of one of the clones the next day... pic 3- All 4 clones two days after i got them. pic 4-another top view when i transplanted them into 3 gallon buckets..... pic 5- shows some of my leaves that have yellow on them. I'll post some pics of what they look like now soon.:smokin:

:rastasmoke:Here's the pictures of what they all look like now. Their all 3.5" tall except for one that is 3". Tell of what you think of them before i use a nutes. I havent used any nutes yet either. I havent had any growth in height but i have alot of side shoot growth.

Before you start your feeding, I'd do a flush and test the pH of the runoff. You had bone meal in there as I recall, which is in fact a good organic fert, but isn't what you'd consider a 'standalone' fert since it only contains CaPO4. You still need a source of N, K, and other micros. But adding too much before you have a good handle on soil chem is potentially dangerous. So get that pH # and we'll get you going. In the meantime you can always give a weak foliar feed of that fert you just got; mix less than 1/2 strength.
The plant looks quite low in the pot- circulation will be hampered by the rim. Try citting the rim of the pot down to less than 1" from the soil surface to prevent stagnant air sitting arounf the palnt.

how much water should i use to flush eat pot? Or should i just water until i get the desired ph level.

Approximatley 3 times the pot size. Personally I just go until I get the desired PH if my lime is already all used up. Soil will only take in so much water and the rest will drain out anyway (assuming your drainage is good). The medium can only get so saturated before it finally says I can't hold anymore so you don't have to worry about super saturation. That occurs at about 3 times the pot size, anything beyond that is just for good measure or to achieve a higher ph I think.

I flushed all my plants two days ago. There ph level was 6.2,6.3,6.2,6.4. After i flushed them i got them all at a ph level of 6.8, then i fed them that vigoro nute an hour after flushing them. I post up some picks. Also they have all grown a half inch in those two days in height. Whats next guys? TYVM

So today i finally built my clones their final resting place. The box is W42"x D24"x H65". I have one 7" honeywell fan for exhaust, and one 4" fan and another fan that is one of those house fans for circulation. Sorry cant explain what it is, but i'll post some pics of it later. I'm still going to run my 400w metal halide in my box. I'm also going to be putting in mylar very soon. Man i love my box, now i can finally sleep with out keeping the closet door open for cool air and i dont have to be blinded by my light when i go to bed.lol. I havent made any holes for my intake yet but, i was planning on making 4 2' holes with pvc pipping in order to not let any light leak in. I would appreciate it if somebody could give me some feed back on my setup. I'll be adding any details i left out soon with pics.imp:

Here are pics of what they look like today. I think one has a problem, i was going to flush it out and check the ph level but wanted some advice first. The fisrt pic is temp. pic 2 is a side view of my clone that is 5" now. The 3rd pic is a top view of one of the other clones. The 4th pic is the plant that i want to flush and get a ph level. The 5th pic is a side view of two clones.
