ok so today was day 62 and day 6 of flower...but i only ended up with only 1 female...soo i was goin to just finish this grow up and start over...than i decided since i had some cash i would go to my local hydro store and get some cloneing gel and clone the only female and flower her...
well i was end there i decided to get an mh bulb...and i was talkin with the cleark and he said he would keep mothers in a dwc system...i didnt tell him wat i was doint just tellin him i wanted to take clones off a plant thats on 12/12 and switch it to 18/6...and he tlod me to just reveg the entire plnat soo i took it out of its ebb and flow and place its in a dwc bucket and air stone...and put it under the 400 watt mh...
i want to clone her asap...but i want to make sure shes good an hlethy first...shes kinda droopie....idk if its from the shock from switching the light one her or all the water in the dwc....or a combation of both...thats wat i need advice on....and could yall help me out on this dwc stuff...this is my first time using it...it seems pretty easy...just use less water and an air pump...is there anything else i need to know???i got a 5 gal bucket and i put 3 gals in it...i intend on leavin my mother in the dwc and only put my preflowers in the ebb and flow....well tell me wat u think ideas anything is needed....

I think your suspicions are right about the transplant shock. You should probably just keep an eye on her and i'm sure she'll perk back up in a day or two once she adjusts to the new light cycle & home. Then clone baby clone!

hrmm....maybe think about just keeping this 'ol girl for a mommy and make a small army of clones :))))

I saw that your temp is 85F. Its could ba sagging due to that much heat especially if you res water is that warm. You want in down in the 70's

yea...it has always been constant around 85....but i only i have duct booster cooling the light...the booster is pulling cold air from the crawl space under my house through a duct to the cool tube...i have another duct booster i could put on the light pushing more air...i intend on doin it this way until i get a carbon filter and a 440 cfm 6" inline fan...
i have another cool tube i will put in in a closet adjacent to mine in the next room...that i will put the 400 watt hps in and flower my clones in the ebb and flow...but im keepin it small see all the weeds for me...but i want a constant flow...soo im goin to have 4 plants flowering and when those plants are 4 weeks into flower i will take 6 or 7 clones from my mother and root them and keep the 4 best ones and place them under my 400 watt mh that mother is under..i was told to always root clnes under cfls...but i want to root them under the mh...i have a 6 socket cfl home made reflecter....that i used to veg the first 5 plants and this mother was the only female i had... i have 2 clamp shop ligh things u can get at lowes that ive used to sprout seeds and i used them to kinda root clones that i took of the 5...i threw them away...because i had no veg room at the time...i didnt use cloning gel on those clones i just cut and put them in rapid rooters....and they busterd a couple of roots before i trashed them....

yeah probably just shock. though it does look like it has too much heat on it. how close is that light? a good 24 inches from the top of the plant is a good distance. it may seem high above it, but the buds really like it. looks good though it should pull through they really are weeds, they can survive a lot.

Feed her some Thrive Alive B-1 and it will help. That stuff is good for rooting, transplanting, and overall growth. You can use it from veg until flush. It is especially good for helping plants in shock

if you clone her you might run into some difficulty, i hope you don't, but i would suggest that you use some b'cuzz to help with the rooting

you need to check your res temp, thats more than likely what is causing the drooping like that, also make sure you have plenty of air bubbles, maybe upgrade your air pump

yea when clones all the plants before i found out they were males...this was the only plant i couldnt get a clone to live....but i wasnt using cloning gel or water or nothin...just cut and stick...right into the rapid rooter cube...and they all rooted in about 14 days....but they always died when they came off this plant...wats funny this was my smallest always droopy plant.....like its always drooped for some reason...

man, you need to wait at least a couple weeks before trying to clone that mother cuz if it was into flowering by a whole week (and also was so mature before flowering), it may still be in a confused state and if you take clones now it will further stress the plant causing hermies.. I would get the plant back on full veg for another week or two, make sure it is vegging well (plant grows another couple inches) and THEN take a couple clones.. give the clones at least a couple nodes depth so they will survive.. how far from the 400w mh is the top of the plant? that closet seems small.. keeping it at 77 degrees is a little rough for the plant.. I would try to drop the temp down to like 70-72 if you can.. drooping leaves is usually a tell-tale for over-watering .. adjust your feeding schedule and drop the ph.. the mother looks like she turned the corner for the better though (just be hopeful she didnt go hermie . sometimes switching from veg to flower and back to veg again causes hermie which is a dead end)... good luck!

Click to expand...

What differences do you notice from dropping from 77 degrees to 72?

Anytime other than winter and my room gets to 75-85. I have had no problem.

Once a fan got kicked off by accident and the 1000w HPS shot the room up to 101 degrees. The plants were so drooped over that I thought it was the end. I gave them water and vented the room. Within an hour they perked back up and I couldn't tell it ever happened.

Cannabis is a vigorous plant. It should be able to thrive in 77 degrees right? I've never had a problem with mid to high 70's.
