Hey everyone, new to the 420magazine forums and I hope to learn a lot!
Ok so my problem is that I have 13 clones that I got Friday the 23rd of July. They astarted out about 3 inches tall and are now anywhere from 6 to 9 inches. They were in great shape had already rooted great and just looked superb.
So I brought them home and put them in the backyard with the rest of the plants (which are almost as tall as me). I put a protective net over them, kept them cool with a spray bottle about 5 times a day and watered them once a day. I decided to bring them indoors (after being outdoors for about 1 week) because I noticed slugs on them and realizing that I only have about 1.5 months to veg i wanted to put them indoors for at least a couple weeks to get 24 hour light and hopefully get them much bigger before budding.
Since I have 6 40 watt florescent tubes i went ahead and put them indoors. After cleaning out my closet and putting them indoors they seemed to be doing great. I watered them and decided not to water them again for about 48 hours to prevent mold and allow them to build a strong root system. But about 24 hours later i noticed some of the clones were limping and leaves are turning yellow... I gave them some fox farms grow big at that point (i though maybe they were needing water and some nitrogen). Since they have never had nutrients i only used a half teaspoon in a gallon. But no signs of improving.. So i kept watering regularly (every 24 hours) and they weren't getting better...
So last night (Tue Aug 3rd at about 7:30pm) I added some hydrogen peroxide (less than 1/3 cup of 3%) into a gallon of water and used 1.5 teaspoons of fox farms and used this batch on the clone in the worst shape. And i gave the rest of them just water. I wanted to see how the one would do before giving it to them all.
The reason for the peroxide is because there is signs of green mold on the white rocks on top of the soil, barely any but id like to stop it before it gets out of hand.
They are in they're original rock wool cubes and placed in red party cups in plain soil. no fertilizer or nutrients are in the soil so i can decide exactly what they get and when. some of the clones are doing fine but there are a few that are worrying me. especially the one in the picture.
No signs of improvement in the plant yet, only been about 10 hours or so since I tried that nutrient and peroxide water on that clone but I would think it would at least start to perk up...
My indoor set up is in a walk-in closet with 2 flouresent fixtures both with reflectors and 40 watt bulbs in each (4 in one 2 in the other). I have a fan constantly cooling them and i keep the light anywhere from 1-3 inches away from the clones depending on their size.
What could be the problem? The leaves are limping (actually most of the clones leaves are limping.) and some are turning yellow. It is really worrying me you guys....
Could it be: slugs? ph? mold? deficiencies? not enough water? to much water?
The pics are of the one that is worst off and a general pic of all of them. If you need any more information or pictures please tell me and i will promptly reply.
I already cut off 2 yellowing leaves from that same clone... Its in bad shape. I really do need help before she dies and the others follow suit.
So in summary their diet has consisted of water only, they received 1 dose of fox farms nutrients at a level meant for week old seedlings. They are throughly watered every 24 hours and are under fluorescent lighting 24 hours a day.
Could a deficiency cause limping also?
PLEASE HELP!?!??!
Thanks so much in advance.
p.s. I went and bought a ph test kit for $6. the ph in my water is about 8. I know thats far to high right? We have ph minus that we used for our hot tub and i tested it on a gallon of water and was able to bring it down. I am curious if this can be used though?
Ive also heard that vinegar or baking soda can be used to bring the ph up or down. would this be a better solution than the PH Minus? Is the high PH why the leaves are yellowing and limping?
