its been seven days since they were last watered and the soil was bone dry as far as i could feel down, i gave each plant 1000ml without any nutes and didnt even get any run off, so they must have been well dry.

the box is now covered in loft insulation and now that the door is shut lets hope they stay abit warmer.

im really hoping they have perked up by the morning

good morning RIU, heres some more pics, i really wish i had a good camera so i could get some pics of the buds forming, they are smelling stronger than ever now :weed:

i went with what MS said and i have taken four cuttings, this is the first time i have tried clones, is there any thing i could do to make it easier for them? any help would be great.

any ways heres some more pics, notice the nice perked up one on the left

Tam, quick reply mate,

Plants look SO MUCH happier today :-) Thats done the trick for you. Now watch them go!

Re those clones, you need to get a humidity dome over them to keep the humiditiy high as you can. Page 3 of of my thread (link below), you see my 2 cuts with simple upturned plastic cut down bottles over them..... that all you need and they should recover. Thats the key thing with clones, keep them warm and they will root, your box looks fine, just like mine :-) and I only have a 10watt 'blue' in there. I just spray /mist lightly evcery other day.... roots in 10 to 14 days and you got your females for the next grow :-)

Edit* you may also want to trim the down slightly more, remove some of the lower leaf maybe? take a look at a few clone pics around here mate.

No problem mate :-)

I know that you are thinking about going with auto's next grow but honestly tam those Nirvana AK's will give you a far better yield with less plants on the go. I've grown autos inside and outdoors and they just don't have time to mature before they begin to flower. Just my opinion, many others love them. I did like the Diesel Ryder, produced some banging bud but just so little of it!!!!!

Just updated my thread with new pics, we're about the same stage I reckon.
