exacto knife work? or however its spelt...

that should work nicely, i believe they're razor sharp, never actually used an exacto knife though

for the cloning inside what would you propose for light and time period? .. i was thinking a 23 watt 6500k at a decent ways away from it? Does a clone need to be hotter than a plant normally would need to?

clones should be kept warm, can't tell you the exact temp, but warming mats are often used in cloning
i didn't use therm so they aren't absolutely necessary
for light, i found a 13w about a foot away was plenty of light, 23w should be further away, how much you'll have to guesstimate

Alright, well im going to do it tomorrow afternoon, ill let you guys know how it went. I'm going to try for 3-4 clones, have no choice but to put em outside at 10 days and hopefully the grow nicely in the sun. We'll see when i get home from vacation i guess, but I'm not expecting anything great..as im not here to tend to them

6-7 bud spots, hard to spot em all in the pictures...1 on the left side, a strip of 4 and than main stem on the other side. Im having leaves that are either half yellow, or just lighter coloured. i don't assume it's much to be worried about, but was wondering what you all thought.

i suspect a small nitrogen deficency, but dont know how to organically cure that, or if it even needs tampering with

looks pretty good on the whole, maybe it could use nitrogen, which means feeding a little more
but chances are just as good its something else, maybe not even a problem, watch for progression

i dont water very often at all...could it be as simple as that?

low water shouldn't do that, you'd see some other stress signs, most plants are quite tolerant of low water

she hasn't seemed to respond to water whatsoever. Whether i go 8 days without water or 2. it seems to react and grow the exact same...so i stick to around once a week watering. the new leaves arre yellowish, it seems the older they are the greener

that may be a good thing, if the plant is low on a nutrient, it will suck it out of older growth and use it for the new
that is the usual sign that it's underfed, or possibly another trouble

what do you mean by underfed? all i give is water with no additives. any suggestions? I want to make sure it's in the best possibly condition before i leave it to mother nature.

to be honest ive noticed that the healthy leaves are slightly lighter as they first emerge. as soon as they become established ( only a day or 2) they will match the rest of the plants colour

underfed means plant lacks essential nutrients, doesn't necessarily mean you have to feed every watering
if the soil is rich enough, that provides all the food it needs
however, i think that is unlikely in this case, a soil needs quite a bit of nutrition to feed through flower(by itself)
if it ends up in rich dirt outside, it might be just fine, but that may be tough to call
so if you have rich organic matter to toss in the transplant hole(or pot), that should feed a while, composted manure would be good

brettsog - thx for the tip, now that i've really noticed it imma be following it closely.
growone - would mollasses be any good in this circumstance? ..dont have manure.

molasses isn't a rich feed by itself, very good starting point for a tea
dead fish are prime nutrition for MJ, if there are any in the vicinity

lol theres a pond and i have a fishing rod if that counts hahah.

there you go, there's nutrients around, just have to find where they are

First cloning project..the last one really doesn't count haha. I figure at the least it will give me some better odds of coming home to a plant.

A) what you think of clones n whatnot

B) what would i do with the fish once caught lol...not likely that imma go do it..but i might go fishing sometime this summer.....
