My first clone grow

[fasts102376]

hello guys and gals
i'm going to try another journal with some northern lights clones. so bare with me i'm not a good speller.. lol

setup
my room is 6'8 x 6'8 x 6'3 tall with mylar. i'm useing 3g mop buckets with MG organic soil(i know mg aint that good of soil) with added perlite (sp) nute's i'll be useing fox farm grow,tiger,bloom,seasme cha-ching and beasty bloom..

i'm using 1000w hps, but right now i'm useing flors for vegging.


i'm going to try my best to give updates once a week inless i run into some problems lol... setback and cross ur fingers and hopefully i'll have a good harvestbong:

here's some pics of my ladys i thing there 3 week since i cut them..

on page #4 what causes that lite green color on the leaves should i start giving her a lite dose of nute's?

 

[Smokin Moose]

High nitrogen levels cause the lite green colour in the leaf axial area. I would get them into bigger pots, without adding extra ferts, except for a foliar feed with sea tea. This will act as a tonic, help transplant shock, and stimulate root growth. With the big lamp, you want your roots to access nutrients quickly. Mine looked a bit like yours in my current grow, but the stage passed in 5 days after repotting, then took off. Good luck. I'll check back in a see how you are doing. +10 reps for luck!

 

[Smokin Moose]

Sorry, I just double checked. The images tricked me as they look small, but they are actually the 3g pots I see, right. Sorry if I goofed with the image.

my bad smoke they are 4'' pots right now.. i have 3g pots to transfer them in to..

 

[Smokin Moose]

Cool, then transplant asap.

 

[fasts102376]

smoke i just transplanted into the pot u see now last week.. do you suggest i put them in the 3g buckets now?
thanks

 

[Smokin Moose]

Yes, because you are under a 1000W lamp, you want the roots finding nutrition asap. You will be amazed at the growth spurt after about the third or fourth day after repotting.

[fasts102376]

well, usually the "experts" say to cut off the lower leaves..3 or 4 leaves on my clones at the start and they are mostly rooted now..

do u think it will hurt to cut them now? they allready started rooting...

 

[Smokin Moose]

If they have started rooting, do not cut them. The reason why some growers cut leaf is to reduce surface area for transpiration when clones are first taken.

Exactly! Moose has it 100% correct. DO NOT DO IT RIGHT NOW fasts102376. You will slow growth and stress them to possibly stop rooting. Then they will dampen off and die.

Another option for some instead of cutting the clone leaves is to use a "stop wilt" type product.
