Thanks for the good advice. I will be sure to treat clones a little more gingerly in the future. As far as I can tell, it is strain specific as I have another clone from a indica dominant plant that flourished in the soil mix. All just a learning experience, but I'm glad you guys are around to boost the abundance of knowledge.
Also, I have another question if anyone can help: Is there any alternative to insecticides to treat pest problems? I have a little infestation of bagworms or something...they look like inchworms and they weave silky cobwebs that turn leaves dark green and mushy. They also like to snack on the leaves- those little bastards. Please help me get rid of these buggers.
