Hello guys, i have recently got some blue cheese cuttings they got off to a bad start because i did not have propogator i have transfered them over to the nft today nearly all of them had about 6 roots coming out a one or two were starting to go brown thats why we put them in , we have 17 , they are on the nft with a light feed gong through them with some root stimulator they have been in for a couple of hours now but i am worried that the leafs are burnt ? we have one 600W over it about 2-3 above them, any help is much apreciated :sad::dunce: oh and by the way they are 2 weeks old on the 3/3/11IMG_0009.jpgIMG_0006.jpgIMG_0008.jpgIMG_0007.jpg

They look thirsty first off!
Other then that, some nitrogen based nutes will get them nice and green again.
Most scraggly clones will grow up and will produce good harvests after their root systems are fully developed. Patience is key.

thaks alot for the quick reply yeah today we recently put them on the nft and we mixed up CANNA aqua vega A + B Rhizotec and catlysm or something not too sure what the name is , you think this will do them alot off good ? and when would u say is the best time to put on the rest of the light we have 4 600W but the one seems to burn it so how old do they have to be before they can handle the light? thanks alot mate great help!

Let them grow a solid root system first off man. Patience. If its not happy under the bush.. it won't be on top either:]
Canna has some good nutes, but start them off at 1/4 the recommended dose as directed to on the back label. NFT will require you to feed well, but you're in the beginning stages and tbh, they look a little nute burned already by the looks of the tips of the leaves. After new growth forms on top, slowly bump the ammount of nutes used from 1/4 to 1/2 to full over the coure of a week or two. Don't push them too hard this early on.



Edit: Lay off those other HPS lamps for now. Leave the one about 2ft above them until they perk back up.

No doubt man.
You should see improvement by tomorrow forsure.. if not, don't panic. They're probably focusing on putting energy into producing a stronger root system. Once they've achieved that, new growth above will flourish like crazy. Follow those charts like a bible and good luck with it. Pay strong attn to detail at this point in their life. Hopefully all new growth from here on out is greeeeeen:]
