That yellowing clone you were asking about initially.

That things looks hungry. Like for some micronutrient like boron or something. Have you got some seaweed or something really mild to spray on there?

A quick search says that stuff contains Calcium Lignosulfonate. Apparently this stuff is derived from wood pulp and is used to increase the absorption of micronutrients. Looking at that bottle, its looks like it contains no nutrients, just the wood pulp stuff. So if you wanted to use this...

Roots is good stuff. It's got nice ingredients like pumice and fancy coir. It will work great for your Veg period, after your seeds are rooted and going in the starter mix. But it's Roots Organics "lightly" amended soil. So it's probably going to run out of steam a few weeks into flower. I...

I used some Coast of Maine "Growers Mix" and some FoxFarm "Happy Frog" in 3 gallon pots to see what my young plants liked best. The Coast of Maine stuff was way too hot and my poor plants were stunted and unhappy with dark purple stems and light colored leaves. The "Happy Frog" plants were...

You can 100% clone or "root" the main stem. Like other dudes mentioned, your cutting is a little small, but it should do fine. Related Story I used to think you could only clone lower branches. After years of cloning branches, all my plants were growing tall and lanky with thin stems and...

I like the idea of a high Potassium and Sulfur formula for a little boost to plant health and stinky-ness near the end. It may not be necessary if you're already feeding with a complete nutrient the whole way through. But if you're just in soil, and your plant has been depleting the dirt for...

If it's going well, Don't mess it up with banana peels!

HIGHLY controversial.

What about Silica for strong branches? I know this is a HIGHLY controversial topic, but some dudes swear by the silica. You can get like a years worth of silica for the same price as 25 stakes, so maybe it's worth a try.

I just looked around. BioBizz also makes "Pre-Mix 3-3-5." An all-in-one dry fertilizer. You could probably do your thing with the "Light Mix," then sprinkle a table spoon (15 milliliters?) or two of the "Pre-Mix" on top every couple of weeks once you start to see buds.

Magnesium deficiency, nitrogen deficiency. It looks like your plants were just hungry! In your shoes, I'd just make this as easy as possible. Start your seeds in small pots (4 liters/1 gallon) of "Light Mix." Then after 2-3 weeks, when your small plant is a little stronger move into bigger...

20L = 5 gallons, for that amount of soil I would use 1/4 cup of d.lime or 1/8 cup of langbeinite or fish bone meal or epsom salt. The issue that you may run into is that a tiny seedling will have way different needs that a full size plant in mid flower. So adding enough Mag to be useful later...

What about adding some magnesium to your soil, before you get started. That way it's already in there when you get to flowering so you don't need to get crazy with sprays. I know in the old days, Epsom Salt was an ingredient in soil mixes. Dolomite lime, langbeinite, bone/shell amendments are...

You can get faster results if you Pre Activate your top dressing by mixing the Dr. Earth with a cup or two of compost/EWC and wet it a few days before you apply it. You can get a more gradual release of the dry fertilizers if you mix them with a half gallon or so of soil and aeration (maybe...

I would start with 2-3 Tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket. Go light at first and observe for a few days. If it doesn't have the effect you want, hit your plants with another dose.

Bros! I am fixated on this idea where I put Biolive in my soil. So there is fish, crab and shrimp stuff in there. Then I brew up some seabird guano and get lots of seafood digesting bacteria and enzymes in the water. Step 3, I water it in and get Super available nutrition for my plants. Last...

Yeah man, maybe just check the BioLive out, if you haven't already purchased the other ones. It's got a few more cool ingredients that the Vegetable, plus the beneficial bacteria and fungus. But I guess the microbes aren't a huge deal if your soil is already chronic and swarming with them.

Probably 4-4-4. But don't forget about Biolive 5-4-2, with beneficial bacteria and mycos already added.

In general, hit the lighter green, hungrier looking plants with a little more nutrients. And the green, happy, well fed looking plants a little less nutrients. More specifically, pluck a leaf one each plant and taste the juice coming out of the petiole. If it has a sour, acidic, battery kinda...
