my clones are starting to yellow a bit its there third day
sorry to hear that BB

Yellowing on clones is a tough call. I have some yellow clones too (10% of them at least) . I checked the PH. It was fine, so I foliar fed them with a very dilute fish emulsion, and bloom nutes. Still no change. Looks like an Iron deficiency, but I doubt that. I've warmed the clone cab a bit to see if that helps.

The clones I took off the plants with the most flowers, are yellowing the worst, but I have unexplained yellowing on another. My take is the plant has to feed on itself while it establishes a root system, and some plants have a harder time than others.

Hey Benny, hope your clones are picking up better. Not too unusual to get some yellowing. I don't know what light you are under for them but they don't like a lot of light, but clones and with all the new strains tough call. Mine are think a day ahead of yours and still looking really good. But then my strains are more stock seeds if you will, just lots of my own genetics in there. But I always use on thing in mine and I swear by it Super Thrive and plain water. Good Luck and talk sweetly to them....:bigjoint: oh I really am subscribe this.....lol

If the clones are rooted and growing, they may be ready for a nitrogen boost.

Let's see 'em :-|

just gotta wait to see preflowers.. if you see 2 little white hairs popping out at the nodes you know its a female.. if you start seeing like green clusters of what looks like grapes forming you know its a male... pull them imediately... just make sure they are male for sure before you pull them.. but get them out as soon as you know that they are a male..

i checked they werent rooted o well trial and error i still have 11 plants lol
don't give up on them, if they have any green there is a chance......I haven't ever cloned under lights before but I do clone most of the time inside the house. The plants need a good period of darkness for their roots to grow, you just have the light to feed the tops to give them energy. My two cents keep them in a place that gets good light during the day and dark when you go to bed. I think you will find that they will be happy to grow roots more quickly. Thanks for the post today also, that 20 footer was the biggest I ever grew.......lol. :joint::mrgreen:

if you veg out long enough you will see preflowers.. takes a while tho.. if you want to see them sooner switch to an 18/6 cycle.. or wait until the first couple weeks of 12/12 for the plant to show sex...

Looking really good, I posted on the other link a possible solution, first time I have seen anything like that and I can't find it in any of my bug books either but I will keep looking, rainy day so I have time.....lol. Congrats on your grow to date.......keep it up.

Finally found the book I was looking for, I can see two possible answers to the question what is it? From looking at the pics as well as I could see them it is either a Bagworm in the larve stage, not a good thing to have or it is a lacewing in larve stage a beneficial bug, a predator of other bugs. Since you are inside I would remove them immediately. Suggestion would be to take a small scissors and clip the sac from the plant as closely as possible to the leaf. Hope this helps, so you really are in no danger with the plants.

The plants look good!

But it's time to paint that back wall white, and harness the wasted light. Bear flat latex "brilliant white" from home depot has highly reflective properties, and it's cheap. You may have to prime the bare wood first, I recommend kilz (oil) stain killer. Don't huff that primer :lol:

I didn't see anything growing on the leaves, but I'll take another look.

I've vegged some plants 3+ months without sex (showing), so I would just go 12/12 whenever you want to flower.

I updated my grow with lots of new pics this morning :hump:
