Bottom leaves of clones dieing...

[John Doe]

OKai so the bottom leaves of my clones that I just planted into soil, are yellowing day by day I figured it was sucking all the food from the biggest leaves to help grow more roots..
But is this normal?
If pics are needed I can take some in the morning... since im in my off cycle for my 12/12 cycle

Yeah, as long as the plant is growing and the whole thing isn't turning yellow, nothing to worry about.

You have the advice, none for me to give

[Krogith]

is it a baby? sounds like this is 1st week? are you allowing it to dry out befor you water? the soil is dry when you water next? have you feed it anything? 12/12?!?!?! thats whats wrong man groth is 18 ON 6 Off =):smokin:

24/0 and yes 1st week everything seems to be normal I figured the yellowing was normal as well...
Also heres a question when you plant your clones into soil from a bubbler.... how many roots to you wait for? a couple? or a whole bunch

[Krogith]

for your babys to grow they need night time dude only time you do 24/0 is on a Mother plant. your babys need to grow in 18/6, you want a few roots to grab hold yes. your feeding them food? and are you letting it dry befor your water again?:smokin:

your saying people do a groth stage that does 4-8weeks under 24 then 12/12? :smokin: 24 is a transportation light time or for a Mother plant to supend her from budding or getting any bigger , your not even going to explain?

Hi KROG...

A plant can be started/grown under 18-24 hours of light from seed/clone and this lighting regement can be conitnued forever...

A plant has three stages...
1 Germination/seedling/clone - 18+ hours of light
2 vegetative - 18+ hours of light
3 flowering - 12 hours of light and 12 hours of uninterupted darkness

When you want the plant to flower you reduce the light to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of complete uninterrupted darkness.. the plant them "thinks" winter is coming and begins to make seeds or buds depending on if pollenation occured...

It "does not matter" wheather you grow in the seedling/clone and vegetative stages with 18,19,20,21,22,23, or 24 hours of light...

18-24 hours works.. it has been debated which method is the best.. but "everyone agrees" that any number of hours of light beyond 18 hours WORKs...

is this what you wanted clarified?
