Yellow coloring of clone

[Tedtheclown]

Just curious if you know what this yellowing could be, i tried to clone and experiment, didnt use clone gel or anything, let it sit in water and then tried to plant in regular soil, humidity is high and its in a dome and temp is good. Im thinking its probably drowning but not sure. Again this was a spur of the moment experiment and i know its not done the right way but wanted to see how it would do.

Answered your own question there clown

[Tedtheclown]

I cut this 2 weeks ago, root issues! Hope my other one works, actually used a root cube this time. Science is complicated sometimes

[Canuck147]

Probably doesn't have a root system established yet - hence - poor to no growth.

Just wait a little longer. She still looks green so she's trying to live still. Open the dome vents all the way and let the pot dry up a little bit. She'll be fine once she dries up a little I think, should start trying to make roots again. I have some right now that I messed up and left the bags over the pots for too long, same issue but mine got worse. You'll want to try and take the dome off completely within the next few days. From what I've seen with mine, they love the higher humidity the first 3-5 days and then the bags come off. If they droop after an hour, bag goes back on for another day. Hope that helps.

Thats what i was thinking, probably needs to dry up a bit. Thanks for the insight. Always a pleasure hearing from the experienced!

[dphipps1020]

Any time. I'll get some pictures of them later so you can see how terrible they look 😂 But I hate giving up on them. I'm not as experienced as some, but I like to share what I've learned in my endeavors.

[Tedtheclown]

I will be using root cubes from now on, my other clone is reaching for the sky after 4/5 days. I got 3 lil clones trying to do their best

[dphipps1020]

As promised, my disaster this time. Some of them are getting green and growing, but I'm afraid 2 probably won't make it.

[Tedtheclown]

Just curious what are you feeding them? Light watt and distance? As for my clones i have small watt led setups, probably 60-80w they are cheap ones, im keeping them about 8in away. They arent very bright but its what i used on first 2 plants and it did the job. I gave mine a lil bit of nutes and mostly water. I cut mine kinda small, next ones i will cut closer to 6/7 inch stems. I plan on revegging my 2 plants and take clones off them. I want to try and make seeds as its very hard to get them, so i will be trying to pollinate 1or 2 plants just for seeds. Do you have any experience in that?

[dphipps1020]

Mine are in living soil so I don't feed them, just water. They're under a Spider Farmer SF2000 (200W actual) at about 85-90% at maybe 18"? Not sure about the distance but they seem to like it so it will stay until I go to 100%, then I may have to adjust a little. I tried pollinating once before and it wasn't very successful. Haven't tried again since, just been doing clones or some of the many seeds I have from previous grows that hermied.

[dphipps1020]

How are yours coming along? I had to get rid of 2 but the rest are starting to go pretty good now. I even started training on a few of them.

[Tedtheclown]

Ill shoot ya some pics when i get home, the first 2 are nice and green and starting to grow, one i used a root starter and the roots have shot out. the other was planted in straight soil, im sure its rooting now. Then i took 2 off my big plant, the ones in the blue bottles and planted them 3 days ago, they are really droopy, kinda questionable. I hope they pull through! So i have 2 off my smaller plant and 2 off my bigger one

[dphipps1020]

My guess is they're in shock because they went from a water medium to one that's a little more dry. Give them a few more days and they should hopefully perk up again. I think they'll be fine with a little time.

[Tedtheclown]

[Tedtheclown]

I hope so, thats what I figured, probably in shock. Only time will tell. Im just getting nervous with my big one, its stretching way to big for my grow and light, 😂. Didnt think it would get this big. She has been a lil nute burnt from too much nitrogen. Been feeding water only for past week and leaves arent getting as dark. I think I should be fine giving only bloom nutes. Also i think i should bring my ph down, kinda higher in 6.8 range according to test strips! Wondering if some organic lime will do the job. Also got bat guano and fish food ( fish meal and some good nutes) wonder if i should work a lil bit in? I have to say my topped plant is doing wonderful

[SoOrbudgal]

Quit guessing what to throw at that little plant. What's blooming? Do you understand what the products are you giving that little gal? Less is more right now for what i see. Let them rest

[Tedtheclown]

Im not giving my clones any nutes but good ph water, i was talking about my 2 that are in flowering right now, week 2, wondering if i could help them along with small dose of supplements that i can get locally as there isnt alot around here. Everything i have to order across the globe. As for the 2 droopy ones i planted them in soil a few days ago and im waiting for the pots to dry out a lil bit as the medium was wet from the get go. My other 2 clones took awhile before they perked up.

[Rwise]

Lime is the wrong direction, it goes up in PH, lemon juice, banana peel., vinegar, sulfuric acid etc. will get you a PH down. Myself I would not take it down much for flowering, maybe 6.7.

[dphipps1020]

They look pretty good already. I wouldn't worry too much about the other 2. You can try a bag over it for a few hours and see if they perk up, just a suggestion to try. They just don't have enough roots yet I'm assuming. Water them lightly, maybe enough for half pot and let it dry a little like a normal plant. That should help promote root growth and get them going I think. Mine were too wet for a while and it started to kill them.

[Tedtheclown]

I think where i messed up was, kept the whole medium soaked when i planted them, they are also sitting in root cube things, ive been letting them air out for now. My medium is still wet after a few days. Ive been giving them some rest for 3-6 hours and trying to keep the heater on for a few hours aswell, it gets down to 17c and i just cant keep the heater on all day and night. It worked out for other ones so if they make it, great!

[dphipps1020]

Yeah definitely let them dry up a little before the next water. I'm still experimenting with things a little to figure out what works best for me. So far it seems like a half pot watering and a few drying days between works better than anything else I've tried. Initially, take cuttings, water halfway, put a bag over it and wait a few days before removing. You still shouldn't have to water yet at this point, unless your temperature is really high. Everyone has their own methods but that is what works for me.

So my ph lvl is good? Im so ready for this harvest to over with, im ready to smoke 😆! Electricity is costing me, its high where i live. Ive been growing 2 plants since seed in October and they have been patient with me, and i am being patient with them. Of course, i have everything i need now. This has been a fun learning experience without to many problems, im sure i will run into these errors soon! I have learned so much and it really is simple once you understand the basics, i also have experience in growing vegetables and i feel like i have learned more from growing weeds. I will be putting my organic grows to the test once winter is over! Have some auto seeds on the way! I will be making a journal on one of my clones and a pick from one of the autos, i jist wish i new what breed my bag seeds are from. I am grateful to learn and experience with some of you folks, appreciate the comments wether good or bad, thanks🙏
