Purp from a clone Journal (pics)

Tuesday Feb 17th 09

So it looks like some of the larger leaves are beginning to die out. Im assuming this is a natural thing that occurs during the cloning process since MOST of the smaller leaves seem to be taking the change nicely. So far 5/6 clones are doing fine, 1 seems to be dying out but ill let it stay. I trimmed off one of the largest leaves since it was dying out quickly. I cant see any roots yet through the gel, but we'll see.

Anything I can do to perk the little ladies up?

You do have some type of humidity dome covering them right???
they need 100% humidity right now



Just FYI

I personally trim my leaves and they stay perky and healthy


you can see updated pics in my journal if you like;

Id agree trim those big leaves down and dome them for a couple of days until they perk up

DONE AND DONE! thanks! youre awesome!

good job! !

yea man looking good buddie

An Extra Tuesday Update!!!
Im having soo much fun with this all. I went out today and picked up a small ph test kit to prepare for my ladies to be moved when needed.
Also, I have 6 Ladies that need names! Start tossing out good names gents!
ITS GOOOOD!! Ph is approx 6.8!!
Currently Under 4 23w CFLs under my DOME OF ALL DOMES!!! Theyre already lookin up. BTW I Clipped them earlier also.
Humidity at approx 80%

Why cant i edit my first post? Im trying to condense the images to make it more journal-like.

see all the large leaves mate they need choppin in half

found this in faq.... i knew it but did you??

Another way to limit transpiration is to cut about half off of each leaflet. You will still have the same number of leaves on the stem, but the surface area has decreased. This also helps control fungus by preventing the leaves from contacting the dome or the medium

haha yah i knew. BUT THEYREEE SOOO SEXY .

Nah ill trim them asap. Thanks for the tip mate.

More pictures coming today, theyre reallly looking good. 1 Clone i thought was gonna die for sure has bounced back to a nice recovery!

So far so good guys! The dome has helped a ton! Ive decided to keep it on until they are good to be transplanted from the gel to soil. A lot of the leaves are showing high growth and is making me very happy .

I also trimmed the big leaves... . It makes me soo sad to see those beauties get cut down, but its cool, they'll grow back. Its for the greater good, i tell myself.
Just noticed some are yellowing. Allgood?

yellowing means roots.... usually

Looking fantastic, those dying sexies hellllla came back up. Im super stoked!
New plans!
Im going to flower one as soon as i transplant it to soil. If it goes well, and imma record my total weight at the end of each plant.
Ones going to be a mother, the bestest looking baby.
And the other 4, are to be harvested, and feasted upon .

More Pictures of Course in a bit, my connection is fuzzy.

Ok so a couple of days later and my plants are looking different. I cant tell if this is good or bad yet. Sorry I havnt done a post in a couple of days because it was my birthday weekend so i was partying hard .

Anywho, My clones are starting to die off at the end of the leaves and its really getting to me. I transplanted one of the smaller ones to get the hang of how to do it when the bigger ones need it. I moved it into my recently built (last night) closet lined with a curtain of plastic. (the right one )

Heres some pics, and a diagnosis of my plants would be fantastic . thanks.

Monday Feb 23, 09 (again)

I decided to place the one clone i took out and soiled into flowering early, just to see how things work out. This being my first grow, everything is just tests on what i can and cannot do .

the yellowing means it has a magnesium & calcium problem... should have added some dolomite Lime and a bit over water
