Problems with my Clones

I purchased some clones about a week ago, and they looked healthy when I got them. I immediately transplanted them into 2 Gallon pots with Fox Farms Ocean Forest, and I have been watering with Purified PH'ed water, but yet I am having some problems. Would you guys say this is a Nutrient problem, or heat stress or what? I have the whole Fox Farms Nutrients line, what would you guys recommend doing?

Whats funny is I have treated my seedlings all the same, and all of them are healthy and thriving, its just these clones are acting up. If you guys think I should use Nutrients, which Fox Farms Nutrients to use, and how much of the usage 1/4 or 1/2?

Thanks

Can anyone help me out? Its about time to water here, and I need to know what to do to correct my problem.

I'll tell ya what i do, sometimes that happens to me and you will clear it up by doin a light flush. Can't really tell you why this happens but i have it happen once and a while and after the flush they ALWAYS resume lush growth. It's like there are air pockets in the soil that is fucking with the plants but honestly I don't know what causes it

Thanks max316420, I didn't read your post in time though. It was time to water the plants and I was waiting all day for an answer lol. I ended up feeding them Fox Farms Grow Big (6-4-4) at the seedling rate of 1/2 Teaspoon per Gallon. We will see where it goes from here, but if it doesn't fix itself, i'll flush like you said. Thanks again.

There are a lot of ways to skin a cat and get the same pelt. IBut myself, I never plant my clones or seedlings in such large pots. When plants are this small, it takes way to long for them to drink up the water and nutrients fed to them in such large pots. I always plant my seedlings and clones into 16 ounce platic beer cups. I leave them in these until they get to be drinking down the water with in the medium in less then 36-48 hours, or so.
Anyway, I get faster and better growth from seedling or clones in smaller containers.

I think the roots of your clones are starving for air.

That would probably be why all my seedlings are doing perfect because they are all in red solo cups. They have been growing really fast, and seem to like the fertilizer I gave them.

Since you just watered then you could still do a "light" flush, the grow big is some good stuff that's the veg food that I use but I would go ahead and still do the flush.

And I agree with what LDB said about the pots. It's good to get a healthy rootball before putting them in their final resting place

I put the clones directly in the new pots which are 2 gallon, right when I got them home. So would you guys recommend putting them into solo cups as well, or is it too late? Will the roots still make their way to the bottom and branch out?

I'll take your advice for next time though.

It is never to late. But it also depends on how you handle the plants. If you are careful and light of touch, you could get them into smaller pots with out them even knowing it happened.

I once put some clones into some Nutrient hot soil. after 3-4 weeks of fighting this crap soil I carefully extracted the roots and soil from the containers. had the faucet already running at about 65 degrees and oh so carefully rinsed what soil I could from the roots, I then fluffed them out as best as I could in some Coco in plastic beer cups. I hand watered them when ever the cups felt like almost nothing in weight. The plants all shot off like rockets. They Showed NO sign of shock even after I had flushed water over the roots to remove what soil I could. I did my best to make sure no roots broke. But it was impossible to do. But even though I broke a some of the roots, it was not enough to shock the plant.
So, can you repot the plants into smaller pots? Hmm, I do not know. I am pretty sure I could. I would allow the pot to dry out, then turn it upside down and give it a few good raps. being ready with one hand to catch the plant and soil in you palm, with the stock between your fingers. If you have to, when the pot and the soil come a part drop the dam pot. Because you want that soil and stock to stay WHOLE. Or at least as best as possible. Then slowly remove a little of the soil all around the soil cluster with just a light movement of the end of your fingers. Slow down or stop in the area's you find roots. Have patients, go slow. Get the roots to 1/4 the size of the beer cup. Or larger if you have to. Not every root ball or plant will be the same. be flexible. If you need a little bigger pot for one, then do it. Do what you can to get soil around the roots and LIGHTLY packed. Give it some water and sit back and PRAY!

This is just one way to go about this. You could just leave them as they are and keep going. They do not look that bad. But I get into so much trouble when I plant into to such big of a pot to start out with.

is this outdoor? could they be acting funny because of the light change?
