Hmmm..well I"m a n00b as well..first welcome to the site..lots of great people and advice.

Now onto your problems...looks like either nute burn or heat burn..do you know what type of lights it was under and or the nutes it was getting before you got it...I take it it had all that damage when you got it? Personally I had a couple of leaves that were burned on one of my two clones...I just snipped it off (no sense in giving energy up to something that's dead :) )..HTH

If you can start a grow journal with as much infor RE: lights, feedings, etc so everyone here can get a better idea of what they're looking at.
 
no it was the best looking clone at the shop, and they were under tube flouresent lights and are now under cfl's heat isnt an issue they have a fan blowing directly on them/the lights.

What's the PH of the nutes solution you are giving them (if any at this point) Can you get a PH runoff measure yet or have you not watered? Again I would wait till someone with a grow or two under their belt helps you out as well...good luck
 
so what happened was I mixed up and nuted it when I first watered it but I flushed all the soil with water ph 6-6.5, however I didn't check the run off ph

whenever you decide to water next I would check the run off PH...I still haven't gotten mine perfect yet and I've had mine about a week thurs. Again good luck...may I also suggest a great video "Jorge Cervalis Ultimate Grow"

Definite nute burn. I dont like FF soils because they have too many nutes for small clones to take in.

Flush it pretty good asap(not till its clear runoff, but much more clear than it is.) just use PH balanced water, your ph is fine right now. then dont water it till it needs it again, usually a day or 2 more than normal depending on where you live and pot size.

If i knew pot size i could give you an idea of how much water you could expect to use. easy rule of thumb is to use as much water as the size of pot 1gal pot-1 gal water flush but it really depends on the nute concentration.

well when you got it did it look like that??? and you have to remember that clones do weird shit..... they have no roots so its a stressfull situation keep them in a humidity dome give them regular water keep the leaves wet and soil moist.......i use clear plastic cup from gas stations with the cap they are great cloning chambers lol

Ideally I would think 6.5...that's what everything should be ideally however I think if your off by .1~.2 either direction you should be good
 
The guy at the cannibus club said ideal nute and water ph is between 6-6.4 for this strain, I could have easily been played cause I'm a noob tho

lol i guess i posted slow, busy with my plants at work and all :P

ya u should have fixed it, but look into LST anyways, youll get more yield. :) happy growing.

Ideal PH for soil is between 5.8 and 6.5 with ~.1 on either side. I usually stay around 6.0-6.4 but diff nutes are absorbed better at diff pH so it is all variable. I run a MMJ center too.

nice, not to pick at every little thing bc its looking great, but try spreading it more. treat it like a woman wanting to sunbathe, lay her out :) In the pic the closest branches could lay toward us. the more u spread it the more cola branches you will get and the more bud :)

Nice fix tho, caught it fast which is the key :) we all have our high moments...Keep us posted
 
Make sure you dont use ff ocen forest only. ive read to mix 50/50 with there lite warrior. Also if your runin a hid make sure that clone is any ware from 12 to 24 inches depending on intesity. I use a simple palm down test at the plant tops and if i feal any bit uncomfortable i move the light up. If the browing is crispy its a burn either nute or lite. Def the flush was what you needed. dont use any nutes until you start noticing a color change on the liter end of the spectrum.
