how many nodes? the usual "rule of thumb" is start giving nutes at 5 nodes.

I think they have around 4 ... will i be ok to run Coco A + B on half strength every third water?..

One of the clones is tiny compared to the other..all the leaves are close together on the stem and the others are spaced out..

it is the fertilizers NPK ....Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium .... in veg stage, the plants needs more Nitrogen.... means that the NPK should be High in "N" , but 20 - 20 - 20 fertilizr works for me fo da veg! fo da bloom stage, the plants needs more phosphorus! i use 5-30-5 fertilizer which is good!

right.. my plants were heat stressed.. so moved the light and they seem to be okay.. minus the few burnt leaves!!.. i was conisider purchasing some rhizotonic ... is it worthwile considering i have had the clones in one week??... ive heard it is very good.. but i am weary of using too many nutes so i dont burn them!.. do i just add the rhizotonic with my feed chedule every 3rd feed?

thanks
