Diagnose my young clones please! Drooping and yellowing...

Hey folks,

I'm in dire need of some help...

I recently bought three clones from my local coop. One of the clones seems to be the plant equivalent of a superhuman and is growing strong..

The other two are giving me issues. Both of them are drooping like a gottdamn limp noodle and the bigger of the two is exhibiting yellowing of the larger older leaves.. The bigger plant also has curling on the tip of its biggest leaf.

I use dynagro nutrients which I heard are awesome..I'm using a 600w halide light operating at 75% because of the smallness of my grow. Temps seem fine. Haven't checked humidity to be honest but I don't think its an issue

I've also LST'd all of the plants and topped them as well...

I also check the PH of my water and the plant runoff is usually ~5.8

I've looked up a few of the possible problems on the internet..some people say its either recent transplant shock or some kind of nutrient burn.

What do you guys think?

I've included pics.

Good Plant


Problem Plant #1 (bigger one)


Problem Plant #2

Not enough humidity did they wilt and stems seem soft?
This happens when I let too much fresh air hit mine they need to be kept moist in high humidity they will sometimes wilt and turn colors when roots start it's not always a death sign.

I definitely would not have topped them they have very little growth mains it's all leaf. Plant needs roots and needs to be growing vigorously if your going to do any training.

@Mainlinekush

All of the stems seem about normal

Should I turn off one of the fans I have blowing on them? I have 2 fans in my setup..one is the exhaust one and one is just a normal one..

Also, at this point should I do anything about this or will the clone recover and prosper?

Thanks!..my anaconda dont..

Edit: damn..well you live and you learn..next time I won't top them so early..not necessarily a death sentence right?

6inch square pots have my clones they have been moved in tent from out of the humidity dome now for about 10 days I still haven't topped most of them.

Very nice clones man..simply lovely

And I bought them from a coop so I was under the assumption that I wouldn't need to stick them in a humidity dome. What should I do at this point?

Clones don't need much air get some milk jugs cut off the top and spray the clone cover them for a day or so to help build humidity.
I grow mine in separate cabinet they all look similar to yours first day in dirt but they bounce back if they had roots....shit top of few of mine died now the first node growth has Imerreged from the mess bright and green ready to start new tops.

At this point I would give them fresh water only and
let the soil dry between waterings.
Clones come from low wattage rooting lights, so sometimes to much
new higher wattage bright light saturation will make new clones droop at first (just like when you put non acclimated clones out in the direct sun at first transplant instead of partial shade) and
usually recover next day. If not then chances are the clone is doomed.

If you have rich soil to start with then I would not feed them for the
1st 2 weeks.

Alright..well I've got my ghetto humidity domes set up as per your suggestion! I'll update you when I check them out tomorrow!

How long will they need to keep the dome on? Also, can I keep them in my grow tent or should I move them outside?

Do you think the curling of the leaves could be nutrient burn?

I would think of the curling more a slight overload of neuts and not yet burnt.

That's why it is important to use just fresh water for the next few waterings or so to see if
the leaves stop curling and/or come back to their normal shape/look.
Along with a good soil, I think fresh water and letting the plant dry out in between waterings is key to a healthy comeback imo.

You can also loosen up the top soil (if compacted) with
a fork to allow for more oxygen to the roots.

I had mine on a day in my grow tent.... poke or drill a some holes on the top of jug but they were much shorter than those because they were tops. I Left the dome on to shade the light and help with the drooping.
