just as i was about to go to the club to spend another $120 on 9 more, they start showing some serious growth. they have been pretty much stunted since i brought them home jan. 22 and they start growing around the beginning of march. what are my chances that what ever was going on with them being stunted will come back again? the ph of all my plants are a t a 6.5. ihave them in ocean forrest soil and been feeding them superthrive and foxfarm growbig every other feeding. the superthrive says you can apply it every watering so thats what i do but use half stregnth.
but how likely would it be that i wont have any other problems or are they good to go?

They will grow a root system before you start to see vegetative growth. Once the roots develop they start to grow quickly. They were probably stressed and that slowed down the root growth. They should be OK, it is just taking time for them to recover. I grow hydroponically so i am not sure about soil. I use the full line of FoxFarm nutes with Liquid Carma and SubCulture. The Liquid Carma will help induce growth and the SubCulture will help develop roots quickly. For starting clones i use Clonex gel and Clonex nuterient. I start them in a tray with a dome and a heating pad until i see good root growth out of the bottom of the rapid rooter sponges or rock wool. Then i transplant them.

well shit. now theyve slowed down a bit and continue to grow at a slower pace. on my tallest plant, the top growth is looking pretty yellow. but the last time i watered them all of my plants runoff were at a 6.5 ph. but other plants show nice green growth and some nute burn i think on some of the lower sets of leaves. and ive deduced that all 9 of these clones (2 different strains) came from the same grower being that all the plants seem to grow and stop togeather. kinda weird. i got some new pictures so here they are. please give me any input as to how i can care for these plants. this is my second grow and i guess growing isnt as easy as i once thought. :confused:

your soil looks really wet. i had some pretty beat up clones going. it took me a couple weeks to get them healthy and on the right track.

cant be the soil just watered them 4 days ago and they get watered about every 6 or 7 days.
should i be giving them superthrive every feeding or half dose at a time? im giving them half dose now at every watering like it says on the bottle. and half dose of grow big 6-4-4-every other feeding.
should i be flushing these guys every other week? they all seem to have growth spurts at the same time. so im wondering what the f>ck is going on.
is there such thing as a root stimulator or some product that helps frail root systems recover? or does superthrive do that?
i cant figureout what to do. i have a manual on herbacious gardening in the garage somwhere. ill find it and repost anything worth reading.
