New Clones Planted in Soil

[rickster2011]

I just planted new clones from gro blocks in to soil ( miracle grow potting soil )
It s been three days now, the clones may have been planted a little late.

1) The leaves look a little light in color

2) The leaves also seem to be drooping a little,more so on the lower
sets of leaves

3) Last but not least the stems are some what purplish in color


Growing indoors 8LX5WX6H, 4 fans, 2 routed to bring in outside air,
1 for exhaust, 1 inside to circulate air with 3 settings
Room temp.- Warm -and Hot

Three Plants Using fluorescent light to Veg. 18x6 Light/Dark
will upgrade to 400 watt HPS for flowering 12x12 L/D


What should I do at this point to manage health.



Thanx , for any advice

First you need to get rid of the MG soil. It is too hot for a clone. Get some fox farm.

 

[rickster2011]

They are in 1 gallon cont. now - Next ill transplant to 5 gallon cont. and use the fox farm soil. ( Is the mg soil the only cause to the plants condition ? )

Thanx , for all and any advice

how far away are the lights to the plants? what size light are you running? are you overwatering? if the MG is too hot for the clones it would turn the leaves yellow, starting at the tips first, then making its way throughout the leaf. is there any way you could post a pic? that would help me help you.

 

[Ganjahoarder]

Yes, a pic would be nice. peace

 

[rickster2011]

OK - ill have to fig. out how to post the pics.I have cell phone camera

as for the rest Lights r 2 in. away on top the fixture is a hydrofarm t5
fluorescent 4 ft. long 4 tubes 238 watts 18800 lumens.
Only watered once thoughly 3 days ago when clones
were planted.
Leaves dont appear to have browning tips - just a little
droopy and light in green, stems are med. purple.


Thanx again ( ill get 2 work on that pic)
Almost forgot 2 steel coned drop lights
with 60 watt fluoros. in the front 6 inches
from plants.

Room temp. runs H50s-L60s night / and
Mid70-L80s Day

I found a photo online, almost identical to my plants -only just the oldest
lowest leaves have brown tips. (what do u think may be the problem any suggestions?)

Thanx again
click ( rickster2011) above left in green, then click (veiw public profile) there is the pic its the only way I could fig. out how to post the pic.

are you feeding them nutes? if so the leaves could be getting a slight nute burn. as far as the purple stems it could be a phosphorus deficiency. try to get your Ph levels between 5.5-6.5, you might try adding some phosphorus ferts.

 

[rickster2011]

The only nutes. added was when I transplanted gro boxs, used about 20%
recomended amount of mg yellow/green box.( I also have the mg flowering nutes. for when flowering cycle starts. ill go to orchard supply to get a ph,moisture meter. Its been 4 days since
watered, letting get a little dryer to rule out (to much water).


Thanx Again ( I will keep posting updates )
Also wondering if I should
trim the oldest lowest
lower leaves where the
tips are browning, to let
more energy growth for
more healthy part of the
plant. (not sure if its to
(early ?).

 

[rickster2011]

picked up a 4 in one tester ph is about 7.5- moisture is at a four- day six since watered- lower leaves are yellowing more,and stems may be very slightly decreasing in purple (note very slightly. (Any) suggestions
on watering and balancing the ph ?



(WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO MAKE THESE PLANTS HEALTHY)

THANX AGAIN......

 

[rickster2011]
