Aint it awesome… just wait til you start combing thru journals. Or watching them live. So much info… u can almost find any strain being or been grown. Lights of all kinds. Mediums galore… organic or nah… just

I may be wrong, someone correct me if I am, but I feed my clones pretty much the same as mothers. They been use to eating it at that level. @Bogleg am I correct or not.

Makes sense to me, but I am clueless. I got these from a local company that does nothing but clones. I was surprised to get them so soon. In the past with my bag seed adventures, I would throw them straight into the rainforest with full gh micro. Seemed to do okay until I would either lock em out weeks later or kill them with heat due to massive learning curves. Haha

The bud that did make it those days always seemed better then what was available tho

When I tried that (based on the same logic) - I failed. I got mushy stems if I tried to give them the same level of nutrients as the plant they came from. After that I just cloned in plain old tap water a bunch of times - always got roots but the clones came out looking ragged. So I started running a mild Lucas Formula with them to try and keep them a little more green… like 300ppm.
The handful I have going right now I am trying the Jack’s Clone formula.

I DID use a weaker mixture in the cloner, but as soon as they got roots and went in the bucket, I did 1/4 strength, which is what I was feeding mamas. Wasn’t paying attention, and gave them bloom instead of grow, just like mamas. Well, that worked, so I haven’t used grow on this batch.

Thanks everyone for the tips and instruction, cant say enough about all the info and expertise here. Girls are doing much better, have everything leveled out. Still battling res temps but working the problem as time allows.

Frozen jug of water in your rez may help. Homemade chiller

Quick update and more paranoid, lol. Looks to be getting some light burn maybe. Just reusing this thread as it contains support ticket.
I did lower the lights to 36 inches, but sheesh. I am running nutes at 530 ppm. They seem to drink with no rise in ppm and no change in ph. Any ideas @Myfriendis410, @PurpNGold74, @Grandaddy013, @Member420, ? Any help is always appreciated.

I topped them yesterday
If they are holding perfectly steady then congrats! U have found the sweet spot. Keep feeding at that rate until ppms start dropping.
The slight curling does seem like high temps/too close light. But @ 36 inches from canopy… 
Whats the temps looking like?
Ahhh! I see the ‘light damage’. Can u take a pic in natural lighting. Thats looks more like calmag possibly.

Exactly right.
Are you running anything like Hydroguard in your nutrient solution? If not you probably should. I would say the discoloration may be calcium–cal mag might be needed, especially under high intensity lighting.
Can you put up your pictures in natural light as it’s easier to see and less painful on the eyes haha.

I am running nutesbat a tad over 1/4 strength, barely. I am adding a very small amount of cal/mag and epsom, but at a lot less then 1/4 strength. I am however running hydroguard at full strength. The light is a Kind 1000k, I have it set at 40,60,60 percent in regards to Red, Green, Infra. I had bumped it up when it was 4 feet high to 50, 80,80 and within 30 minutes all leaves folded or taco’d. For heat and humidity, I ride between 80 at night and no more then 86 during the day. I am also pumping CO2.

Yup. Looks like early calmag deficiency. Epsom is only mag right @Myfriendis410? Is there a natural cal source he could try

I run my nutes at 1/4 strength, but hydrogaurd and cal-mag at full strength. 2ml/gal

Looking sweet other than needs cal-mag

In hydro it’s likely best to simply run additonal cal mag: it’s made for hydro and PH buffered. The plants will make more demands on your nutrient load pretty soon so you will be bumping the TDS up. I would suggest staying around 800 ppm in veg and no more than 1,100 ppm in flower.
Unless you have a LOT of those lights, likely your CO2 is unnecessary.
