[wardrobe grower 78]

yumans ive got a big problem with space and i have no way of puttin them straight into 11.5 litre pots,its my only option till i get another grow room,i might be giving 2 of my clones to a m8 to help me out with space

where are those pics m8?

Okay, here is Eve. My camera isnt the best and did not capture her beauty very well, but she is alot more impressive in person. Although it could be me just being a proud father. Theres a picture of her roots too.

Just curious, once clones start to root, transfered to pots, and you've had them on a 24/0 light cycle, can you switch them to a 18/6 light cycle? or should you keep them in 24/0 till flowering?

[Skateboardingpunk420]

As long as your plant gets at least 14 hours of light a day, it will continue to vegate.

If you have fluorescent lighting, 24/7. HID, better reduce to 18/6 Give your plant a break from all the intense lighting, I think they'll probably thank you for it.

Reports have been all over the place saying HID lamps on 24/7 cause plants to grow better, as well as grow worse.. However, fluroescent lighting doesnt produce nearly the amount of lumens or color spectrums as HID, so 24/7 is great for them.

Go with your best judgment, give both a shot in the future to find out yourself.

if anyone disagrees, please argue with me, for Im not a professional

Well guys, I just discovered that one of my six clones has rooted, the other ones seem to be lagging if not dying. The one that rooted has perky leaves that have practacally no yellowing, while the others have yellowing tips and somewhat droopy.. The yellowing doesn't extend passed the tips though. Its been about 7 days since I cut them. Anyway, I hope the rest come through.

So from Here I guess I just transfer to a pot with potting soil. I have Soil at 7.0 ph and i'm gonna be using 5 gal plastic pots. Not sure how much I need to water on the transfer, gonna do some research on that right now. Should I place a small fan on a newly transfered clone to build the stalk and ventalation? or should I give it some time to recover? Anyway if you guys have time, I would appreciate any info! thanks!

soak the soil well with plenty water before transplanting and dont worry about watering for over a week or so depending on the strength of your lights,you can place a fan near them but not directly hitting the plant as it could cause it to fall over and give you something else to worry about!
take it easy m8

Thanks for the info WG78!
I Planted that one clone the other day and seems to be doing well, it has new growth on it. I just took a look at the clone dome and I have two more that have rooted, so thats 3 total so far out of 6. I'm gonna plant those in a few mins. The other three i guess will follow soon, but I'm stoked just to get 3 out of the whole process. I think I'm just gonna stick to using 18" Fluors for now till they get a little bigger. I have the mother flowering under 4 4' shoplights right now, all set up like a pyramid surrounding the plant. Each lamp has one cool white and one wram white. Should I strickly use warm white for flowering or is it good to have a combination of warm and cool light?

[wardrobe grower 78]

dave i think it will be ok to have a combination of both warm and cool light although you want more of the cool white while there in veg and more of the warm for flowering,your lights should be about perfect for them,well done with the clones bro,the 4 i took are doing great although 1 of them is struggling a little and im pretty sure its because that 1 i let the girlfriend do it and she touched the freshly cut end before putting it in the cloning gel which i about bit her head off for doing it lol,happy growin m8

[DojaDave]

Awesome, thanks again for the help!

I managed to get 4 out of six clones rooted and planted. Cant wait for the mother to finish flowering, got a long ways to go still.
