I have successfully cloned 4 cuttings I took. Also I have 2 plants trying toflower and plant 1 in the beginning stages of flower. I have had to split them up due to timers and veg. So my lady that's in flower, her leaves are looking like a potasium thing I think but. Also the top leaves are turned or bending down I think that's weird but,
It wasn't until I took her away from the full spec. Leds. And 6500k cfl setup in the main grow box. That she took I'll. The light I have her under now is, a store bought red\blue spec. Led spotlight, that I Jerry rigged into a grow box out of 2 plastic tub containers stacked on top one another. But it's the same temp as the main box, because I've tapped its walls for air flow between the the two boxes. I'll post pics of her issues and the other changes i have had to make.
Oh also the 2 plants that are trying to flower are down stairs in my shop under 1 single t8 and a 3800 lumn 65watt. Cfl they are on timers for a 12/12 now the main box stays at 20/4 and the flower box is 12/12 now.
So now the other question about the plant in flower. why is 1 main branch of the plant thriving and the 2nd main branch flower looks so piss poor.
For my last question. when or if I should top or fim the clones I want to do it as early as possible and if I even need to their mother was done both she is the tall one next to the cfl downstairs in my shop.

Ok here are the pics finally lol

Everything looks female, possibly PH problems leading to nutrient lockout. Id try a little lime and see if that helps. You should check out spacebuckets. There's a lot of people growing in those little areas.

I've just got a ph test kit this morning and hopefully it tells me something useful. And are the space buckts the hydro buckets or when someone grows inside a bucket?

When someone grows inside of a bucket or a small container, some people use trash cans. Some people use Rubbermaid containers. I have used the 5 gallon buckets to veg in before and they work pretty well actually.

What nutes are you using? How much? How often? Looks like nute burn to me...2cents
Non yet just fix farm ocean forest a few extra cups of purlite and leftover coco chior. I have some fox farm big bloom but it's very low the bottole says you can use it through the plants life but i didn't rhinlnit was big enough for stuff like that So really just superthrive which I've stoped for flowering also a question if you know the 3 clones in regular containers (from the pictures above) the postal hairs are very very thick compared to the little wispy hairs fimming out of the node. I think they are in flower like the very early stages if it.

My wife turned on the timer (which is set for 12\12 ) I haven't been using it. There is just 6 hours of down time for the plants after I'm home from work. So when I go to bed, I turn the lights back on.
If they had a complete light cycle of 12\12.
Will 1 cycle put them in flower I have changed them back to 18/6 but, I aslo want to know: if the female in flower need to stay on a 12\12 time schedule or can the ratio change once it starts to flower?

If you're worried about your clones flowering I would run the lights 24\7 for a week. That will stop it. I run my bloom cycle at 12 /12 all the way thru.Some people mess with it some,I don't. Hope this helps.

Looks like light burn or nitrogen deff
Mix light a Mostly cfl. But I have full spec and 2 red\blue led 1 uvb bulb 12 6500k 1850 lumn bulbs 4 1650 2700k cfls and 1 125 w full spec 2700k flower cfl. So I don't think it's light burn but it was a nitro deff. There is no heat in the box it stays at about 75* all the time. But a soil ph test confirmed to have deff. poblems
