Hey Guys... New To the Forum, Would Love a little Help!

[faithless]

if they are burnt a little bit do they generally recover

Yes, if you let them.
In fact, check out my own link to see what happened to my burnt plants:

Looks like yours turned out okay! Sweet. The brown-age hasn't gone away, but I have to give it time. It looks like the other clones are going to be coming in batches of two. The first batch will be coming Thursday, and the following batch about a week and a half or so later. Is this going to mess up my heights and such? Also, one batch is coming from a friend, I am using SunShine#4... he uses soil I believe. Should I transplant them immediately into SunShine#4? I figured I should most likely wait a little while and let them get used to the great big sun in the sky (1000 watter) Any help is appreciated.

Also wanted to add, I have the 1000 watt lamp three feet from the clones I have. They don't appear to be growing that quickly at all. I have seen this process done before, but I don't really know how much they should grow per week? I guess I just got them Saturday so I should just be patient.

Getting thirty-five more clones tomorrow, and then my project will be officially set up and pumping out. The clones I am getting tomorrow (as well as the ones I already have) are in soil. I was planning on growing in Sunshine#4. When could these babies be transplanted into the Sunshine? I am guessing the nutes schedule will have to be altered because the plant will actually be surrounded by nutriented (is that a word?) soil when put into the sunshine. Or should I try to shake most of the soil off when transplanting? What ya guys think? All opinions welcome.

I don't have too much time to chat, but don't try to shake the soil off of rooted clones, roots are like our nerves and our blood vessels and they are very delicate and when damaged or shocked they can kill or stress the plant out so much that it can affect the rest of it's ability to produce as well as it could of other wise. Just try to keep it simple IMO and don't try to get to creative IMO if this is your first go round. At this point you don't even know if there are any unseen problems around the corner with other parts of the grow and the last thing you want is to make this transplant thing a problem and find out there are other things to worry about, keep the simple things simple.
Don't mean to preach, but the first time isn't always the best time and a nice easy trot helps one get use to the terrain and so on.
Just my two cents.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. I am just unsure of what to do... leave the clones in soil and change the plan to a soil grow (isn't really a big deal) or just wait until they are about to be flowered, switch em to Sunshine and add nutes accordingly. I wouldn't mind doing soil on the first one, but I have been told the sunshine usually yields a bigger crop... I will keep you posted Blue..thanks for the help and please stop back by, I will put photos up by the end of the weekend!

Clones got taken up by somebody who apparently needed em worse! =) Getting some Tues (only about 10) and then the remaining 20-25 a week and a half from now...

By the time the batch of 20 comes, I will have already had five clones going for about two and a half weeks, and the other batch for a week. Are all my plants going to be different sizes or will they catch up with one another? I guess if the clones that are being given to me a week and a half from now are being "baby-sat" by the owner for a little while, they are getting light as well, and shouldn't be too big of a difference..thoughts?
