I started adding the botanicare nutes yesterday, I'm using foxfarm ocean forest soil and i heard that you don't have to add nutes for 3 weeks, is it bad for them if i do? i'll post pictures of them today, no roots in the clone yet

Definatly no nutes yet..., but you want them alot closer to the light than that...put ur hand next to the light and if it starts to burn ur hand, ur to close, should be able to get them 6" away, maybe closer...

I moved them closer to the light, i trashed one clone cause it was looking bad, and the other is getting yellow leaves so i'm not sure if it will make it, i have the fan blowing lightly on them so they can build that strong stem, i'll chill on the nutes for a while till they get a little bigger

Much better, I still feel like they could be closer... Also yellowing leaves is somwhat normal for clones, some strains are more"clonable" and show roots in a week, other may take 2 weeks just to root.... And in the same sence, some yellow more than others...make sure its moist in the dome,and if ur cubes are dry by now you should be good to poor a little water in them, wait it out mr anxious

and fuck that stupid "designated millileters for watering" DRENCH ur soil then let it dry out a Little, this will make them grow faster cause they get what they need, Not what u want them to have...get it?

I did a noob move, i went to check on them and one cfl fell into the pot and a leave was sitting against the bulb so the leave got burned, it's just the leave so I think the plant will be fine, also I accidentally knocked the other plant down and half of the soil fell out and i could see the roots. I put the soil back in and gave it a little water so it should be fine too

nope i'll wait on the smell issue till it gets worse, i moved them a little farther away from the light so they can stretch a little bit, looking good, and i got the feed gallon at 6.8 and the water gallon at 6.8 so I shouldn't have any ph problems
