help!! clone is not looking so good

[jrhanson90]

i just got the clone the other day, it was in one of those spongey starter things. its turning evenly yellow or it looks like its losing its color. when i got it was just one leaf and now its happening to all of them. its now in a pot with just some "container soil" and sitting outside. i use some plant food thats slighty deluted, i got it from the local hydro store. the yellowing is starting at the edges and moving towards the center, and the leaves that just just a little yellow when i got them are curling upwards at the tips of the leaves and also turning brown.

No nutes for clones. Wait atleast until you've had them for 2 weeks. Could just be a combination of shock from being nuted and transfered from rockwool to soil. Feed it straight water for a couple weeks, maybe twice a week. When you transplant clones it helps sometimes to add some B1 antishock solution to the water. Its available at most any hardware store.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but is your clone starting to flower?

If it's going into flower, it will stop growing and root development will slow down.

I wouldn't put the plant outside under direct sunlight at this stage. The plant isn't strong enough for that.

I would bring it inside and put it under some florescent lights on a 20/4 schedule to make sure it stays in veg until it gets strong and healthy enough to go outside.

You mentioned that the leaf tips were already going yellow before you got the plant, so there may have been a problem with over fert even before you got it.

Don't keep the soil too wet. Let it really dry out before you water it again. Let the roots stretch and grow and work for what it needs or else the roots will just stay and rot in the water soaked rockwool cube.
