Raise your light, clones can't take intense light. You have roots and they're growing new leaf sets, you should be fine. If you raise the light and still notice yellowing, check the ph and give them a little nutes VERY little.
Yes that will work, as bleach kills just about anything lol.
I figured out the light issue (when the little leaves turned crispy) I have some water that I have been feeding with.. ph'd and about 1/8 strength nutes. Temps have been super in the flower cab 77/61 the area were the clone are stays around that top number..
Sounds great if you can tell me how to accurately "set" your pH so specifically by small increments. Please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the nutrients handle buffering of the pH at that stage of flowering. After 900 or so ppm FloraNova Bloom (one part) handles the pH rather well and has no need to adjust it once it reaches that amount.
There are a couple things wrong with that.....
You get a waterproof PH meter with a probe and drop the probe in the res and adjust accordingly. A lot of nutes have PH buffers, however they don't always work as they are not 100% fail safe. PPM/TDS/EC has a lot to do with PH, but the best way I can explain it. Is PH is what allows the nutrients to be soaked into the roots, PPM is more how much nutes, TDS is how dissolved, and EC should be self explanatory at this point. The all work together, but they are different things. Your PPM could be high but your PH all jacked, see my point?
Thanks for the reply Doobieus; I know how to measure it's just how to increment it by such small amounts seems a bit difficult and for the trouble I wouldn't see the nececity. I'm a believer that the plant and the nutrients will handle what it needs and wants and you just provide it for her. You might want her to uptake more PK but what if she doesn't need it then you'll end up with nute burn, know what I mean? Would be awesome if there was (I'm sure there is just very expensive) a way to know how much N or PK she's been up-taking just how we do with ppm in general but more specific. In regards to nutrient pH buffering, FloraNova does a VERY good job at keeping the pH stable and around what she needs, I check it every day and the pH stays at or around 5.4 - 5.9 depending on the day and haven't added any pH down to my reservoir since I went up to 900 ppm. Highly recommend it for hydro grows.
I know lol, I used to sell that stuff =P. Ah my bad, misunderstood your question. I believe that nutrients, heat and many other variables are based on the strain you're growing. My Bubblegum loved heavy feedings and can take hotter temps, my Blueberry didn't like that so much lol. So I concur with the whole what your plant wants thing, because strain is a very important factor.
Thanks for the replies, I do not plan on trying this.. it was just something I came across and thought it might be a good topic of conversation. I have been using the Lucas formula since I started and like they say "If it aint broke..." I have noticed that since I've gone to flower the ph has been pretty close to stable, during veg I had to bring it down between floods..
I'm gonna quote you on that saying
Very well put bro.
Oh stop lying, you know you just like starting shit
lol jk.
Lol not a bro, but thanks man lol.I'm gonna quote you on that saying
Not me.. I'd never..Oh stop lying, you know you just like starting shit
There it is again...lol
Lol you put vag.
Yes this was with a 250, and funny story. This plant was grown in a half gallon pot lol, a little over 3 ft tall in a half gallon pot gotta love it.
Wow. I imagine the root ball was basically the entire pot if it got to 3 feet. I'm using the Waterfarm right now and my girl is turning into a beast...and for my space that's not such a good thing didn't think she would stretch that much during flowering, now I know. Those extra air stones and bigger pumps really make the difference with the WF's.
This was soil lol, half gallon soil pots. The roots were nuts but because they were in a coco/soil mix the roots were still happy. The hydro setup I used was a DWC bucket, with a nice H shaped air stone, and nano chiller with PPM probe meter, Temp probe meter and PH probe meter.
