Clones dying help!!!

[ayeitzzphil96]

My 4 purple kush clones are around 3 weeks old and its been 6 days since ive transplanted them into soil. they have already rejuvenated themselves from the transplant into soil and i am now at a standstill as i dont know what the issue is. they are 10 inches under a 250w hps

They look a little hungry man make sure your soil ph is good and give them a weak dose of nutes

 

[Ibex]

Are you feeding them yet?

 

[RetiredMatthebrute]

i find that when transplanting clones into soil a weak dose of clonex works well, also some superthrive to help them deal with stress.

What soil?

 

[ayeitzzphil96]

I havent fed them anything yet. I have floranova gorw that i plan on using soon. i am using foxfarm oceanforest soil

 

[Greenthumbntraining]

Give them time to recover,I used flora nova 4 my plants,u should b ok

Phil,
The FFOF is a pretty rich organic mix. Often too strong for seedlings...but clones are tougher. I vote no on extra feeding. The soil should be enough.

what soil should i use for seedlings next time around?

 

[JohnDee]

Phil,
At any nursery or garden center, they should have a starter mix. Usually they are peat based and have little or no nutrients. So if you want to customize it...perhaps 1/4 FFOF and 3/4 starter mix would add a tolerable level of nutrients that a seedling could handle. Something like that.

they look hungry, and the containers look too small.

For SOME plants OF is to hot and you get nute burn, yours don't look like that.

I use "Olivia's" as a Foiliar spray for seedlings and clones, it's a very mild food.

When you feed You might also add Epsom salts to increase the MG, I use 1 gram per gallon, some people use a teaspoon.
Its a definitely help my plants!

If you like FF use Happy Frog, it's for babies and clones.
it's not near as packed with Nutes as OF.
I would say go to OF after you transplant out of a cup the first container.
then don't feed for 3-7 days depending on a lot Of variables, size of container, size of plant.
OF May be fine as a feed for a few weeks,
let the plant tell you when to hit it with real strong Nutes.

I watched a buddy Fail for a solid year, because I live a good drive away. I Couldn't offer any assistance.
like I said fail, no buds, but I brought him his soil and my hydro store suggested the pair of soils along with the Three main FF Nutes.

he grew lots of healthy useless ragweed.

I totally agree that, at first glance, they LOOK hungry. Phil, are those 5" square pots? If so, and with FFOF...my gut tells me it's some sort of uptake problem...rather then a simple "need food" issue. But I admit I could be off base. Are they getting a wet dry cycle? You could give a weak feeding as a test.

Good mornin' Phil,
I was pondering your situation and wanted to ask a question. What medium were the clones growing in when you got them? How did the roots look when you transplanted?
