It probably doesn't have any roots, that's why your not seeing anything new up top. By the water is good, but not right next to it. Too much water sitting causes root rot quickly. Also you said something about cold?

My clones are just going outside. Take them away from the sand. Go to a place with soil, dig a big hole and fill it with a decent potting soil. Thats how youll get the best results. Get away from the sand

Theres no nutrients in sand. It is not getting anything, which is why it has not grown. It gets its nutrients from the soil.

Im sure that would solve the problem. My guess is its getting no nutrients in the sand. For the best results i would put it in soil.

Feed the hell out of the area with soil, beneficial mycrobs, and fish emulsion. You will see results within the week.

im not sure if i can up root it but what if i dug a trench like deal around it filled the trench with soil. would that work? im kinda confused the because theres reeds and trees in the same area. so there has to be some type of natural nutes there right? its not pure sand that its in i dont think. its just primarily sand

roots dont grow very well in compacted earth, they also need oxygen. A wet and compacting media like sand just isnt the best. If you have others going good, then Id just wait and see if she does anything, no worries.

word yeah i doubt that medium hasnbeen tilled or loosened in years. im gna try and save it. my others are all in soil and doing great. jus this little fucker in the sand it troubling me. but is more than likely the reason shes not growin and branches/leaves because the roots cant spread out?? like literally its 2 fan leaves some stem then 2 more fan leaves. theres no side branches stattin or anything. just the 2 nodes and 4 fans

Yes, your problem is the sand. Either move it to soil or just kill it. Its not going to grow.

(: Interesting... I find it interesting that you can't grow cannabis in sand, for obvious reasons, yet you can grow it with some sand in your soil mix. But other plants such as bean and peas will grow and produce in sand.
Maybe its just me... Good topic though...

Well I am excited, I made up my own soil mix. I used a recipe I found some where written by gonna girl I think. And two of my three FEMS have popped up to say hi...

I am curious what and or how y'all clone. I have never had any luck, perhaps I'm taking cutting that are to small or its my rooting compound, I don't know. But my girls are hash plant and I think I'd like to try again.

Thank you... :oops:

Ive had 100% success using a king klone aerocloner. No rooting hormones, just tap water. Takes about 10 days.
