Yellow Leaves

[Clamil]

I checked the FAQ, and figured these green crack cuttings I have, were receiving certain nutrients from its mother and grower, that no longer receives that, because of transfer of ownership between clones, but now I only hand fed tap water once a day. The plants fan leaves are yellow and crumbling, they were already that way. Is it ok to cut them? My previous grows I would cut and trim what was dying and leave what is green. This time I am trying to see it as a life form, not just a plant. I am basically amputating its members. Would it be healthier for the plant to keep the dying leaves on there in hopes that they may revive? Anyone test this? Check out the pics, we got the plants like this and the diagnosis about nutrients is the only thing I can come up with, anyone have anything else by what they can see? The cuttings are only a few weeks old and they are rooted well within the rock wool cube in the tray. The FAQ says they are lacking nutrients, problem solved. But my main question is from a vet, can I cut the dying leaves at the base of the main stem and it be ok? or is it healthier to leave them on and for them to die naturally if thats the case.

You need to transplant those..ASAP

 

[stonemalone]

yep those defo need transplanted to bigger pots

 

[nanaimosco]

no kidding, that is abuse.

Cut em if they're dead, they're dead anyway. just make sure you sterilize your scissors before and between each plant

Do they have roots?

 

[max316420]

sorry just reread and see they have roots, you def wanna get them into a bigger medium

 

[amrcngror]

they shoulda been transplanted already to bigger pots, u should get on that immediately!!!....

 

[Clamil]

thanks for the tips, I will get them transplanted to cups asap until we can afford pots, soil, lights, etc.

I hope for your girls sake you are getting lights & stuff & setting it up in a week or so.
Its generally agreed the fewer transplants is better, go buy some cheap potting bags or something and do it once.

Thanks for the help, I bought some red plastic cups and quickly transplanted them that same night. They are already doing better and growing. I cut the yellowing leaves off that were dying and whithering away. Here is a new picture for week 2 of green crack clones.

should get bigger pots and bury each plANT very deep so just the leafs are above the soil..so they look like 2 inch plants in a 10 inch deep pot

yeah sounds like I will transfer them to 5 gallon water jugs or something. Will 1 1000 watt cover a 10x10 room?

 

[DR. RESINTHUMB]

A thousand watt would be ok...but it might be too much light right now....deff transpant them and i would cut the leaves in half instead of fully off always u might stunt growth

 

[Corso312]

1000 watts will cover a 7x7 room...anything bigger and you would need an additional light

 

[max316420]

actually 1000 watts will cover 5x5 effectively

Aww yeah! its so cool how the stem will grow roots!
Has anyone tried rooting hormone before a transplant like that? idk just a thought.
