MY CLONES ARENT GROWING, HELP! (PICS)

[santacruz_organic]

I have had my clones for a week and they havent grown a cm, is it cause they are still in shock? they have rooted about two weeks ago. i have two 1000w MH lights at about 5 ft. away, 24/0 , temp in between 74 and 80. they have their pistols already, is that normal? i might be stressing do to the fact more than likely their still in shock from the nut/heat burn they got a while ago.

Did you take the clones from a flowering plant or something? I'm not really familiar with cloning, but a plant that small definately shouldn't be showing pistils..seems like somethings wrong, brother.

well if it is the first mother you have to wait till it shows signs it is a female before cloning, this might be what happened

yeah if u reverse plast sex can be very harmful

[howsyourroof]

what gro medium if any did u use

[santacruz_organic]

organic soil, the clones were in peet moss i think (green mossy cubes). this is my first time using clones so i have no idea whats going on.

Dude, sometimes clones show sex/preflowers soon after transplanting. Yours look a little burnt, but other than that they look like they're doin fine.

hey the plants will eventually pick up, even if a clone is taken from a flowering plant, not too far into flowering of course but for the fist week it can be done! the problem is the re vegetation process takes a long time! up to a month!, the plant will need to start again by sending out large single leaves , then three leaves five ect like a new seedling has to!,
although there does seem to be a little revegging going on, dont worry, just be prepared for a little longer in grow, oh by the way, i dont know what they mean by reversing the sex! wtf is all that about! any way ignore that shit and let em grow, as for the stress of rooting! they already have rooted! so they are growing now!, stress can be given in many ways, try turning one of the lights of and i would stick to 18 hrs on grow, 24 hrs causes stress in the plant, maybe thats having an effect too, if you imagine youve just stuck her under 2000 watts of hps! she's probly ever been under cfl's or tubes1,
i would back off a little and let them grow. very weak nutes to, around say between 0.45 and 0.95 EC, give them plenty root boosters!,,, without the roots they cant grow, they dont need to photosythasise too much to grow roots!, so the idea is slowly grow,make masses of root stock, and then give light and grow them with a good root stock!
all things in nature rest! everthing is designed to rest!, when a plant rests it exhales! it breaths out carbon dioxide and breaths in oxygen,this is a stress relieving period for the plant, and i strongly recomend that you let your sytem run 18/ 6. the other thing! 200 watts of light is impressive so save it to flower, unless you want a very stringy streatched out growth! with branches that struggle to hold even the smallest amount of bud!

good luck with them babies!

welcome to the world of endless possibilities,,,,,hydroponics

realised i said 200 instead of 2000 watts
