hm.... The only thing is, is that I want to transplant the clones into larger pots which I believe would require me to hold off nutes longer...?
Someone mentioned waiting for the cotyledon leaves to begin yellowing before starting nutes on the seedlings..

Well, if you're going to upcan the clones very soon, then yes, you could definitely hold off on feeding them. The nutrients in the new soil should be sufficient to keep them happy for a while afterwards.

Roger that, Thanks bro.

I've also added a cool white 15w t5 vertically next to the clones

Well the Seedlings seem to be drooping a little... I've read that this is probably due to over/under watering..

Oh and I transplanted the clones into 1 Gallon pots. When transplanting I could see A LOT of roots.. probably a good thing I transplanted.


Here's some pics.. Tell me what you think!

The topped one looks good. I'd say if you are watering more than every 2-3 days at this stage then it is too much. I normally start my nutes a week 4 or 5 and @ 1/4 strength. Then I do nutes only once a week.

Figured it was time for an update...

All 6 are looking relatively well.. The seedlings aren't showing any deficiencies and the clones are responding well to their up-canning.

Pictures 3 and 2 are of the clones.
Picture 1 is the weakest and smallest of the seedlings
Picture 4 is a seedling along with picture 6. Picture 6 is the best looking seedling
Picture 5 is the topping which I did


Tell me what you think! ;)

Great looking stuff so far! I had that same problem on my seedling last grow. I noticed that after I transplanted her and hit her with her first dose of nutes that no more growth had any type of deficiences through out my grow. I will try to find this great article I read on ICMAG. I have seen some good ones here but this really broke down the different problems your plant could be suffering from. If I can't find it I'm sure someone else will be more then happy to help...Where is Xebeche?!? lol

As far as your seedlings go, I didn't start feeding my girl till flower. But the new seedlings my friend and I are working on have already received 2 doses. I believe only 1/4-1/2 strength but that is probably why you see such vigorous growth. You seem to have everything under control man. Just remember to keep things simple and you should see some great results! +rep if I haven't already

thanks bro... was this the link? http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688

I can't seem to find my problem in there.. think I'm gonna hit em with 1/4 nutes tomorrow......... Nevermind on the nutes, I think the transplanting gave them some nute burn from the fox farms happy frog.

here's some pictures..

Some of the yellowing found on the clone tips..
Nice seedling
and The topping growth.

The other seedlings are a bit droopy from over watering.. I believe I need to transplant them too.. I see their roots at the bottom of the solo cups,

Anyone think the yellowing on the tips could be N deficiency?

If they were mine I'd probably be hitting them with a dose of liquid karma and molasses on the next watering. I don't use FF Happy Frog soil, but as far as I can tell, it should have enough nutrients in it for anything that you've recently repotted. However, I could agree with a 1/4 strength dose of the Dynagro nutes as well. I doubt it would hurt them at all.

How are your temps in your cab? And, do you have good air circulation + intake and exhaust?

When you repot the seedlings, take a look at the roots. They should appear clean and white. If that's the case, then I wouldn't worry too much about the appearance of the older leaves. The newer growth will give you a better idea as to the overall health of the plant.
