7 sativa clones, indoors, your suggestions?

Yea, I added some organic 2:3:2 and bonemeal to compensate :)
I also use 5ml to 2l water (instead of recommended 5ml to 1.5l water) when mixing the Nitrosol.

Will be using GHE 3 part in future.
Good to hear, just didnt know if you'd worked out the numbers and had a plan in place or were getting ready to run into some lockout with def in one area, and extreme tox in another (I wouldn't mention it if it hasn't happened)

LOL, I spent about 2 days going from shop to shop looking for something 2:2:2 or 10:10:10 but no luck so eventually sat and worked out more or less what I need for this with what is locally available.
Going by ear more or less at the moment till my GHE arrives.

The plants look terrible in those pictures due to a failed experiment while trying to kill mites (tried a mix of dish soap and bleach I use on my roses, fucked up the PH and killed off many smaller leaves and heads.
They look much better now, must take more photos.

'Insect Frass' by Organic Nutrients is 2-2-2, Espoma's 'Garden Food' is 10-10-10 .. this information is provided as part of the conversation and is by no means my vouching of either company, or their product (my disclaimer before someone who hasn't read the whole thread goes and buys Espoma's and bbq's plants with it, then screams that they're dead due to tox across the board with 3x the recommended dosages)

I see 5lb of the 10-10-10 available on Ebay for 8 USD, not sure what shipping is though offhand - if that helps any. And you guys need to stock more things down there. I should open up an extensive nutes shop in Jo'burg :D

I am thinking that possibly I should leave them in veg till my clones are 100% ready then re-pot the clones, top these, use the topped bits as a new set of clones then re-pot these into bigger pots and stick these straight into the flower room.

Good idea or bad idea?

Plants will be stressed from this (florescent to HPS, re-potted and topped at the same time).

Yes, there will be stress.. but I say it's a good idea given what you have to work with.. as long as your cloning conditions and veg room temps/conditions are what you would consider stable/mostly stable

About a 3'c temp difference between veg and flower room.
I have managed to get temps down enough in my flower room that even when it's 37'c outside my flower room stays at around 28'c

As long as it's been working so far, you could even go veg->flower.. wait 18-21 days->re-veg for a while.. -> re-flower -> chop/dry/cure .. if that'd help any in your timing of things.

I have 3 huge sativas and an auto flower (I am already cutting lower branches as the tricomes become ready on this plant) in various stages of flowering so I am in no real hurry. I also have two small sativas in my flowering room I think will be ready within the month.

I am actually thinking of not doing any more clones for a while as my next stage will be getting my Indicas sprouted but really don't like the waste.
Perhaps I should just eat what I top (for some reason I love the taste of fresh plants in veg) but am undecided and really don't want to make hermies.

Would like to hear experienced views though so that even if I don't make clones now I have the knowledge for the future.
