first time... mini yellow spots?

Hey guys,

just got a clone from a buddy i believe he cut this off a mom 3 weeks ago, handed it to me with little yellow spots on the top leaves, i took some pictures (shitty camera) let me know what u guys think!

he gave me this baby 2 days ago, i re potted it and watered it today. its in a small veg box running at 79*f with 20% humidity on a 75watt hps...


thanks!

also i added a small cup of hot water in the corner of the box to try and raise my humidity level a little

i wish i could get down to 20% humidity but ne ways that looks like it was his mom lol did you top it? but ne ways your ph levels would help n what kinda food you give it.

those spots dont look too bad, i wouldnt be worried about it. did u see any roots when u transplanted it? if so u should be good to go. my first time transplanting was a bitch for me cause i wasnt patient enough

ive managed to raise the humidity to 40% i read somewhere that the plant needs to be in 70-80% range... i did not notice any roots when i transplanted, as i kept some of the old dirt around (hiding the roots i guess) the bottom of the plant when i re potted it... i havent checked the ph level yet next thing i need to do... as for feeding it i havent started giving it nutrients yet (should i?) just water...

New at this, any kind of help is greatly appreciated!!! thanks !

well raising the RH should have helped a bit, Your running pretty hot for 20%RH and drying out the leaves. 40% should be good enough but if you can get it to 50 or 60 that will be better. Or drop your temperature to low 70's. It looks a bit yellow but I dont know how to help you there.

During the cloning process, the cutting uses energy/nutrients from the existing leaves. Yellowing of these leaves is one indication that the cutting has switched from vertical growth to creating a root system. Whether or not the clone needs nutrients should be dictated by the new growth. But remember: only 1/4 strength unless she asks for more

should i start feeding it nutrients? the spot are getting slightly bigger on that one leaf but the new nodes coming in are looking great

If the NEW growth looks great, then just water her one more week. Then, feed her nutrients at 1/4 strength at first. If she does fine with that, then 1/2 strength at next feeding, and so on. Your plant will tell you and you need to listen! The leaf you are watching now will never recover and will probably continue to look badly until it falls off or is plucked off by you..DO NOT base your decisions on the old leaves at this point; continue to monitor the NEW growth

If it has roots start feeding it if it doesn't just water until it does. Your going to need nitrogen some thing with micro nutrients npk 20 20 20 is good and cheap. A small bottle of calmag plus will go a long ways. The yellow spots could be a few things but over all it looks ok. when you get a clone you should always wash it under the tap and rub the bottom of the leaves real lightly and quariantine it for a couple weeks so you dont get mites or other bugs.

it was quarantined and washed before i put it in my veg box.. as for the humidity level, is 45% good enough or too low?

heres how it looks like today

the tip of one of the older new nodes seems to be a tiny bit burned at the tip also now i realize... other ones are fine

It must have at least some roots by now or the fan leaves would be drooped right down, so its probably ready for 1/4 strength nutes, which will help bring back some colour to the leaves. 45% is a bit low but if its made it this far its probably good enough

here are pics from today... its been about a week now since ive started feeding it and it seems to be looking pretty good except for now it looks like there lighter spots on the leaves almost like scratches... i know my last watering the ph was a bit too low with the nutes in it... gonna raise it for the next watering... let me know what you guys think!

hey wanted some feedback asap so gonna bump this! plant is looking bushier today!

From the pictures it looks really healthy, definately a big improvement since last pictures. Do the old leaves seem to be getting worse? are the new leaves healthy? The old leaves wont really get much better even if everything is perfect so unless they start getting alot worse just focus on the new leaves. I think just keep doing what your doing cause it seems to be working. Btw im just starting my first grow so this isnt an expert oppinion

What is the tempeture in the growth chamber? Looks burn to me?

What kindof light are you using? looks really yellow. Its hard to see those pictures very well, I think I see a sortof yellow mottled look on the leaves, might want to get some pictures taken in a more neutral lighting so someone with more experience can identify it for you

From what I can make out you temp is 80 or more on your thermometer in the pic's. Thats at the bottom of the chamber, so you can bet the leaves are seeing higher temps when you chambers closed.
