Your PH with water or nutrients in soil or soil mix should be 6.5, in hydro/coco 5.8. Your PPM's should start low 300-400 PPM and go up as the plants ask for more. Have you thought of starting some seeds on the side, growing from seed is a huge helpful step in the learning curve. You can always take clones from the females you grow....

I would but i just dont have the space to do that too.. i wish tho ,that would be awesome .i will be making clones tho. this strain i got is really hard to get around here.i got sunset sherbert , its a gsc xpink panties.the nugs on my profile pic are from the same mom i got my clones.. super danky... i just fed right now at ph of 6.1 and ec in between 0.2 and 0.4 i beleive thats a 0.3 on truncheon its showing, if im doing correct, that its well under 400 ppm .. im actually growing in smart pots with peat moss and virmiculite.

Hey Nate, btw you can't skip feeding, you're using an inert media. What you're better off doing is starting low and increasing your ppm as the plant gets bigger. Only skip feeding when they look overfed, (burnt). And water the whole pot when you water. You want that media completely wet, then have it dry out, which it probably will do pretty quickly with your choice of media and fabric pot. And water nice and slow. Peat is pretty water phobic, you have to water it slow to get it to retain some water and not just push it.

See how you have so many different problems with your plants? That's a root/PH thing. You get your roots going, your problems will be a memory. So get your PH lower, work on your watering habits and figure out how to best get your roots booming so the plants can absorb what they need from your nutes and not from itself. Poor roots can't effectively intake nutes and that usually results in pretty funky looking plants. Best of Luck Nate and you should start a post with some of those pix in the hydro section and see what the champs there have to say.

I would love to have a legit sherbet cut. So your running peat and vermiculite somewhat like coco or soil less. One of the best investments a grower can make is in their PH and PPM/EC testing equipment. I have used Blue Lab pens and Hana before that. Knowing PH and EC is crucial to good growing and getting the most out of your genetics.... :)

Calibration solution 7.0 & 4.0 for the PH meter and 2.77 EC for the PPM meter...

Don't Get The PPM Pen Their Having Trouble Calibrating Them. I Prefer The Hana Primo. Very Simple Very Basic And Most Of All Very Cheap

That leaf curl and bumpy new growth look like potential russet/broad mite damage.

Did you buy these clones from a dispo or nursery? Could they have been contaminated by anyone or anything?

Scope those damaged leaves and hope it's a EC or pH issue.

It looks to me they are too dry and warm at the root level. You are using cloth pots allowing roots to get too warm slowing growth. Lower temps to the mid to high 70's and they should do fine. They really need medium to low light level until they have established their roots.
