Peoples biggest problem when they start growing is they over do everything. they over water, over fertilize and add a bunch of shit to thier soil that the plant simply dosent need.

why? because they get caught up in these nutrient companies hype. these nute companies will offer you a 50 bottle regiment of crap for 500$ WOW!! amazing results for only 500$.......thats what they will say.....truth is you get your results from perfecting your enviormental conditions not from a nutrient bottle.
fucking a... this guy needs to write a book... hell i gave my first crop next to nothing and they just keep going, didnt ph, didnt nute, didnt do a god damn thing but water every couple of days, kept them under cfl's and now in flower with wrong spectrum of light and way too hot, yup, still alive, and blooming... lol... optimal? far from. its a learning process, you will find your way, and make it yours, like its your bitch. lol. thank god these are not plants that require super optimal environment. they will produce "something" in next to nothing... thing is, if you want the biggest yields healthiest plants, best clone survival rate, massive amounts of dank buds instead of airy bullshit, (note you'll still get high, just use more, and not have enough) if you plan on selling to folks, don't give them bullshit. this is how we get such crap ass weed on the streets, nobody wants a bunch of seeded popcorn bullshit. just keep reading, and improving, before too long you will have something that looks like a laboratory when you walk in... dont get caught up in the money, just invest in the things your plants need when they need it, or try to, if you cant afford it, its whatever the yeild will suffer, but you will not. dont go without eating to feed your plants nutes, or buy a light. just do your thing.

also forgot if u said that clone was femmed, or not. but assuming it is, since its a clone (who the fuck would sell cloned males? lol) anyways, when you start to veg that thing... my advice, whatever it is, dont matter, cut clones (easy way) stick them bitches in a cup of water, wait for a root to show, pop out a little, and plant it in your medium and foliar feed it straight water for a couple weeks, intill it takes off, once sprouts are popping out, you know its rooted. do that for a few more weeks, like two or so, if its in a cup or something should be needing a new home soon, replant. once replanted, get the original clone which we hope is female, and the clones (catch them up to the host) as in , cut that bitch back and clone her till all your clones, and the original are about the same height. then flower all but maybe 1-3 clones. which you can keep as mothers until new clones are as big. note, the larger rooted clonned off plants will grow better, and faster, than the clones, because of there root structure, no worries, put them furthest from the light and it should even out hopefully. if not, whatever, tie her down if your looking for an even canopy.

im just spilling word vomit, i need sleep. love you guys. peace and prosperity be damned my brothers. lol

hey cheta . great work on keeping the clone alive.. did the person state if the clone was from a female? looks good so far but from the beginning of your start to now it seems like your doing what you didn't want to do to begin with, geting caught up in the hype.. nutes and such are not needed for the first few weeks in soil. cloning a clone is how it get generations but a stable mother plant is usually the way to go unless there is no room for a mother. if that's the case here then yes just veg the girl for a few weeks and you will get some nice branches to cut from. hint easy on the nutes. she will let you know when she is hungry, start off with a very light solution or they will burn right on up and probably herm on you due to stress..good luck and KEEP ON GROWIN..

eventually you will fall into your own pattern of watering and feeding, depending on when you have the time to tend for your plant, i wouldn't give it full strength nutes just yet though, maybe half for at least another 2 weeks

Not much to say this time. Just wanted to give some new pics.... oh yeah, two questions!

1) What the heck is this problem on these leaves?
2) Are these close-up spots the beginning of flowers?
