Ok well i planted 2 clones from the cannibus club 2 days ago. I Put them in reg growing soil and put them in there own 3 gallon pot. I have watered them alittle each day and have circulation going with fans. I also keep the humidity around 45-60% all the time. I am doing a light cycle of around 16 hours of light and then the rest completely dark. 75-80 degrees in the light and 65-70 in the dark. Now the questions.

My plants dont seem to be healthy right now.(leaves kinda weak and slumpy)

Do i need to put nutrients in with my soil? If i do what kind shoudl i get?

And generally i dont see water fall out of the bottom of my pot when i water it, but the soil is generally damp in a sense. Is this good or bad? How often do u recomend i water and with how much water?


I have been searching tons of forums for answers and i just cant figure it out on my own. Help would be highly appreciated.

put a damp rag around your fan (1), put a contair over them 2. i would go with a contairer over the plants til they get a good root

ok im not that knowledgeable to growing and the terms. Im guessing the towel over the fan for a different humidity? But what is a contair? And how would i put them other the plants?

And what about the nutrients? I already have good soil with some fertilizer already in there.

if you have roots you shouldn't need a dome or misting. if they are heavy and droopy they MAY be overwatered.

well i have 4 sides of greenhouse materials (reflective green color) nailed together and is pretty supported with poles to. And then that is about 5 feet tall. surroundingthe 2 pots at the bottom over a towle and good suction, with a little heater/fan in there. And that is in a mini house in my backyard. The shack also has a bigger fan to ventilate and a window. Its called my shack and its a sick place to smoke. ahaha

But should i get a top for my greenhouse thing?

i bought a clone of snowcap 3 weeks ago. the leaf tips were slightly burned when i got it. it has been 3 weeks and it just started to get new growth 2 days ago. she was in some pretty serious shock.
don't try to much at once. maybe put a little breeze on her.keep her in the 70s. if she has roots you really shouldn't have to cover her. just don't let her dry out.

if its 5 inches it might already have roots. if your using cool floro bulbs you can put them within a few inches and have the light like 20-21 hours on, if your using a MH or HPS more than 200w you should keep it atleast a foot away. if no roots put a lil clear plastic lid over em to keep humidity in. if theyre rooted you might be overwatering. ive noticed once young plants get roots watering daily makes em droopy. water only when they get decent dry at least every other day and not alot of water either. i usually use a spray bottle to mist young plants (mostly soil not leaves as much) for the first month to 1 1/2 months to get the soil decently damp. over/under watering and not enough light and to much heat seem to be the number 1 killers of young plants especially clones
also dont mess with em alot(moving em and such) if theyre already hurtin that dont help. clones and transplants when small have a tendency to stop grow for a couple days even a week because of shock they seem to tryn get comfortable in there new environment before they grow
hope some of that helps
just lil things ive noticed with seedlings/clones

all mine once had a bit of roots, rootball the size of a large marble, i placed into a 1 1/2 gallon pot with a nice organic mix of soil. you can even get decent soil at walmart if you have no local gardening store with good selection. i dont use ferts till flowering. and even then i use very mild once every 3 waterings. im not a big fan of over fert and ppl seem to have alot of nute burn cuz getting over zealous and overloading the plant. i dont really like any miracle grow products so stay away from those. sometimes i transplant from start in an egg carton to a like 20 oz pot then finally i put females in 1-2 gallon pots depending on strain. if you not every experienced only transplant once. im very careful and have decent exp so i usually dont harm em at all(usually new growth in 2-3 days). ill elaborate more later, just dont have time at the moment, sorry

thanks fdd. you and me seem to be on the same page
