Having a little problem with my clones. I transfered the rooted clones into the hydroton and net pots and put in the bubble buckets. They went from flouresent lights to a 400w hps wich is about 3 feet above them. They have been in there 6 days now and I am seeing roots come through the pots but my plants are starting to droop and yellow in the center a bit. I have seen no new growth besides roots.I am using GH nutes and the lucas formula at 50%. PH is fine and temps are good. Do you think its the hps causing heat stress? What should I do?

it looks like heat stress...raise the light up....just my 2cents
 
Any idea what the water temperature in the buckets is? If I'm reading that temp gauge right it looks like it's 90* F around the buckets, so I'm guessing your water temp is around 80*.

I'm no expert, but it looks like your plant is suffering from the inability to pick up o2 and nutes (similar to too much watering)...this'll happen if you let your res water temp get too high.
 
put an oscillating fan in there to help keep the temps down and to get the stem nice and strong.

turn up the intensity of your air pump(if you can)

lower the water level of the bucket (if it's flooding the netpot)

im also trying to grow and those were the problems i found
 
I don't use ANY nutrients on any clones I have for the first week so they have time to establish a good root system through the hydroton. After that, it's feed away, starting at cutting strength and bumping it up every two or three days.
