When you got them could you see roots sticking out of the rooting cubes or pucks?

you say you only had them for a day...did you buy them from a reliable source?

my experience with clone's purchased from someone else is when you buy 12 almost always 1 to 2 will die.....usually it because they were not well rooted. It could be that they were under flor's and you put them in your small grow room and they went into shock as it was too much light for them right at the start.

good luck

sometimes there is nothing you are doing wrong it is just a weak plant. remember we are dealing with a living entity and it is always in gods hand weather it lives or dies. we do our best to give the plant the best quality of life we can but there are some things we just cant see and just will never understand. i have had plants get 8-12 weeks old and just go belly up while other plants have doubled in size in the same system. it is a law of nature. do your best with the remaining 10 and enjoy your grow.

leftreartire it seems that we believe in the same thing.all we can do is our best even if we had everything perfect in the growroom we still are going to have problems with the grow.its a weed and its not suppose to be in perfect conditions.think about what happens when we stress the plants a little(lst,topping,fimming,supercropping)all these thing when done during veg makes for a larger yeild.even the bloom boosters functions off of stressing the plant in some kind of way to get the effect we want.the main thing i see that we need to work on is not over doing things(watering,feeding,flushing,and dropping the N during flowering).alot of people dont agree with the last one but ask yourselves this:why do you need sun leaves,whats their purpose?if the sun leaves are the plants energy then why do i want that energy to be shut off from the plant during the most important time in the plants life?alot a people will tell you dont cut nothing off a plant during flowering but dont stop to think that if they let the leaves die off their doing the same thing right?and i know the first reply to this is going to be N MAKES THE PLANT TASTE BAD.but it dont over feedind a plant makes it taste bad.second they will say OH IT SLOWS DOWN FLOWERING but i ask you this what makes a plant flower?is it light cycle or nutrients?a healthy plant is gonna produce big healthy buds.more healthy leaves=more healthy buds.find your favorite plant and keep cloneing it learn how to grow what you got and the plant will take care of the rest.during my study of this it has left me with much stronger healthier plants.just take one of your plants to try this out and you will not be sorry.
