My first attempt

Looking nice! Don't underestimate your ability to make clones. And it's not really all critically complicated. Hell, I use some harsh-ass tap water, (pH well above 8, general and carbonate hardness through the roof) whatever temp comes from the tap, jiffy pellets which are according to some people too acidic and out of 12 cuttings I have lost exactly one. I use time-release miracle grow soil, insufficient lighting, excessive air temperatures, poor ventilation, and I always have results as good as I expect. Attitude has a huge influence, and there are people who do everything by the book perfectly and their grow fails miserably. Reminds me of a lady I did computer work for one time, her printer always broke down when I wasn't there. I think she was telling the truth, and that she simply had a crabby attitude which influenced her machine, as dumb as that sounds. Also you can separate two plants which are on top of eachother, but you should do it as soon as possible, not wait until they are big enough. I had the same thing happen and I dug one plant out with a spoon and they both did just fine. Maybe certain strains are way picky and give a little gasp of air and then fall over and die at the first sign of mistreatment but I would think that's a rare thing indeed. Main thing, don't worry, and your plants look yummy!

OK so I searched for like 30 min for this thread to throw in my opinion. OK there is speculation that peat pellets are too acidic for cuttings correct? Well, doesn't acidity bring down PH? So if you were using pellets which are supposed to be acidic and using PH water lets say at 7 wouldn't the pellets bring down the PH? If so, then I don't see the problem with peat pellets for cloning. Matter of fact, for my case they seem and sound perfect. I just took 3 clones yesterday just because I had remaining peat pellets and so far they look pretty good. I just put some rooting powder on them, placed them in peat pellets, then placed them in my dome and set it in my grow room away from direct light and they seem to love it so far.

well change f plns.. not gonna start cloning due to the fact that i will be moving in august...so these BETTER bud quicker lol. Had a few q2uestions about my leave discoloration and the texture of them... they are rough and tend to burn on hte edges... here are pics.

ok i have another problem with one of my plants... im beginning to think im not cut out to grow this shit.... one of my plants are looking bad (pics) the leaves look to be drying out? i water it 3 times a day and do all i can to take care of it. the othe 2 are doing wonderful but i may have to let this one go as well and im said . so can someone please reply to this i need some real help!!!

If you water it 3 times a day, that is wayyyy too much.... When you water, you want to only water the plant when the soil on the top doesnt retain moisture (when its dry)

ok due to a malfunction on my pump that waters my plants while i was conveniently out of town... i am now down to 1 plant (as he loads the .38) but it is allowing me to focus all my time into this one. It is the skunk that i have mentioned in other threads. my only problem to that im not sure when to end the flowering process and if possible can i clone off this beautiful female skunk plant while its in flower? if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions please post a thread or two. here are the pics.

how many weeks into flowering?
yes you can clone a flowering plant but there are a few things to consider
Clones taken from flowering plants root quickly but require a month or longer to revert back to vegetative growth. Such rejuvinated clones ocassionally flower prematurely, and buds are more prone to pests and diseases.

ok well fuck the cloning idea... i have these damn lil dots on my leaves and they are mainly on the top leaves... but a few on the bottom ones and its driving me nuts... im just gonna forget the growing pot idea and just continue to buy shit! i have had the worst last 2 weeks ever! anyone know hwat the hell these dots are.. im guessing spider mites and im in flowering so im not liking the idea of spraying my plants with chemicals.... any thoughts would be wonderful or any encouragement would be kind lol:rastasmoke:

So let me start with what I saw from your first post. "Canoeing" the large fan leaves curling up. HEAT, your room is overly warm is there any ventalation? Whats the average tempture when your lights are on? It looks to me like your cooking your plants and that why you lost so many leaves. The room should be 70-79 degres. Not 86, not 90, not 42. Your current porblem is more difficult to determine because I cant see the leaves very well in the pictures. Spider mites damage looks like white spray paint got on them, and if you pull a leaf then youll see small white egg sacks and small webs on the leaves. I cant tell from the pics. If its might go to the hydro store and buy three pyrithem foggers. sett off on in the room every other day when the lights are off. It's a food safe treatment. just dont use it 3-4 days before you harvest. although the 8 day cure it take to get the weed ready to smoke will give the smell and taste time ti comletely disapear.

Hope this helped. The more you grow the more problems you deal with.
