k so just got the clones a week ago and transplanted them the next day, then got a little ahead of myself and watered em without phing the water and i gave them nutrients to soon. so then after reading and talking to some people on this site i transplanted them and fluched them then replanted and watered with ph balanced water, they look better then yesterday but im still worried i may have done to much damage espiesially to a couple fo them. so i need to no should i abandon? start over? i havent watered for 2 days, im so nervous now to "over water" and was going to today but not sure the rite amount. i bought distilled water from the store today, since i here that is good. . the bulb is 400 mh i have a 600 i was gonna use for flowering. just two fans in the closet rite now, room temp stays around 85-88 humidity around 45-50. if there is something else i need for the grow room feel free to let me no. this is my first attempt at anything like this, i am actually helping my unlce who just got his card here in nor cal. any advise is welcome. oo and i have them on 18-6 with light on. and the closet is not sealed, is this a problem? there is also no real exhaust i just kinda open the door during the day when it gets to hot in there. ?

Here is a close up of the clones, Grapefruit Deisel and Grapefruit Kush

Ok so here is the next day when i transplanted the clones to the "bags" the hydro store i went to to get the soil and nuits didnt have any pots in stock so i got the bags for the time being. after this point things start goin south.

so i #ed the plants to help me keep track and here is #2 on day 3 and on day 7

if your having any temp problems, take the ballast outta there.

EDIT: Your temps are a little high. Try to get it around 75.

Chill man everything is good, you probably didn't even need to transplant after flushing. Your plants look fine, just water them with plain water for a couple days and then go back on your nutrient program. As far as over watering goes, feel the soil, is it dry? yes? then water. No? Then wait a day. Your plants will let you know when they are dry, they will start drooping and falling over. Don't let them get to this point. Weed isn't a delicate flower that will die in the face of the slightest problem, its HARD to kill a marijuana plant, yours will be fine don't worry.

edit: Get your temps down too, thats way high.

ok cool thanks for the info, i raised the light up again and am trying to figure how to cool the closet even further, ill post pics tomorrow to see the progress

my favorite solution in cooling a closet? making a hole in the wall and putting either a bathroom exhaust fan or a small duct fan to suck the hot air out, summer is here and this also keeps humidty in check, or hook up a duct fan to your hood and problem solved (unless making holes in walls isnt an option), although 85-88 is just about tops, she should be ok in that temp

thanks for all the advise guys here are some pics from last night, the laddies look alot happier now. im thinkin of getting back on the nutes tomorrow, here is what i have for nutes, i could use some advise on the amounts and any tips for rookies. here r some new pics and the nutes i have.

I would stand pat for another week before adding any more nutes and, when you do, start at 1/4 strength of what's recommended on the bottle. Your plants look solid in the second set of photos -- that's their way of saying "I don't need anything right now...".
