First time grower looking for guidance

[Tjmakaveli]

hey everyone. This is my first time doing things outside 100% on my own and would like some input along the way. I have 5 clones in small pots freshly placed outside trying to adapt to the sun. Living in Cali I have a pretty optimum temp but have been bringing them in over night. Fox farm soil mixed with natural and been misting frequently. My baby girls are all wilting but only one plant has started to yellow. Any advice so far?

Post pics and tell us all of your secret.
Like feed schedule, temps, humidity etc.

Leave no stone unturned

I usually start mine in the shade, then minimal sun.
Over about a week they are good to go

 

[Tjmakaveli]

Day 2 outside sunlight 6-12 shade/overnight the remainder adding one hour of sun every few days

 

[charface]

Do they have the root system for this?

My guess is you may have jumped the gun.

Just a guess

 

[Tjmakaveli]

I think your right. I just don’t have any indoor lights so Not quite sure how to get the roots started

They are so small even little cfls would work.
I would find a way

 

[Tjmakaveli]

Thank you!

Slightly better over night. morning sun from 6-11 has them looking better than yesterday . Only misting waster every few hours

You could pick up 100w cfl 6500k. I get them from home depot. There like 7 bucks for a pack of 4. You can keep the lights on them longer and the soft light won't stress them. I would return them outside once they're perked up again. They look good man but are in a sensitive state. How fresh are the cuttings?

 

[Tjmakaveli]

I picked up clones a few days ago. Not sure how old when I grabbed them

 

[Tjmakaveli]

Unfortunately This is the only light I have at the moment. Besides another single led bulb in the room

How are they looking today?

 

[Tjmakaveli]

Perking up a little and showing new growth. The new leaves are bright green and the temp is a little cold but the house won’t get up past about 65 degrees since the heaters broken.

Next time try the bottled water method ..... I'm in Cali as well

Looking much better

Yes .... Basically if you top a plant....and take that top and set the stem inside a water bottle filled with water ....it will root for you ..... I took all my tops and tried it last year .... Every single top rooted for me. I planted one and it did well .... I grow in green houses. I play around indoors during the off season. I was basically just trying it out after hearing about it. Every top I set into a bottle rooted really nice after about 7 to 10 days. I literally just set the cut in a bottle. The tiny hole on the top of the bottle kept the cut from falling in .... I set the bottles on my patio and they all rooted nicely.


GL ....looks like they'll pull through fine. Remember to harden them off like Charface explained above.

My bad I thought you cloned them yourself. They look premature to me as well. I'd bet they didn't have much root if any when you got them.

 

[Tjmakaveli]

Cool cool I’ll have to test it out sometime soon. Also thanks for the feedback guys. Thinking about these give me high blood pressure and grey hairs till I read something reassuring on here.

 

[Tjmakaveli]

Any suggestions as to introducing them to natural light. Like a basic schedule to follow other than morning sun while slowly extending the time exposed?
