Hey everyone. I just got a couple chem 91 clones just rooted and potted I have them outside during the day then inside under a 25 watt shoplight ill be doing this for a week until I can get lights and nutes, the bottom leave on one plant is splotching yellow. I don't have a ph kit so I can't ph the water. If anybody has reccomendations on soil or nutes plzzzzz let me know

You're going to want to grab some ph test strips, at least, to test the runoff. Preferably a ppm/ph meter, to help you diagnose issues throughout your grow, and so that you can properly ph your water/nutes before feeding. If the best you can get is strips, that's fine, you can get them for like 4 bucks at wal mart. We need to have some idea of what's going on in the plant's environment. You're definitely going to need more light, though.

I can add this, too, it's not really advice, but I chopped a couple of cuttings off a flowering plants (some trimmings i was going to throw away). Instead I put them in a cup of water, then clonex, then rockwool and put them under some CFLs. They died, they got attacked HARD by spider mites, it was kinda funny to watch because I thought they were dead. I check it yesterday....one of them has roots showing. Needless to say I've cleaned them up and got their environment back to ideal. The morale of the story is this plant is a weed, diagnose their problem, fix it, and they will almost ALWAYS recover.

yeah thanks. I'm getting all my lights on friday along with soil nutes and ph testers. What kind of soil and stuff do you reccomend?

Are those Clones in Coco Coire? I grow in nothing but Coco. I never add anything to it, not even perlite. I use Cyco A&B and Neptunes Organic Seweed Plant food. And that is my complete nutrient line up. All three of these are added at 10ML each to each 1 gallon of tap water. So 10ML/Gallon of these three items in Coco, with a good PH pen and Walla, nice dank buds everytime.

I am a DWC or aeroponic grower personally. Always some form of hydroponic, though. I have heard great things about the Fox Farm line from soil growers, but again, I don't have hands-on experience with soil products, just from what I've read and heard from friends.

Yeah that's what their in:) I'm not sure what soil to get when i shop this weekend for nutes and stuff.. I was thinking ffoe or maybe the coco. I don't have anything until maybe Sunday.. except for sunlight, and a 25 watt shoplight for night time. I have no clue what my ph is I'm using tap water.

if those r fresh rooted and potted im pretty sure u just need to get more nitrogen to the plants. weather the soil u put them in will deliver it or cal mag will for sure.
alot of times when cuttings root u get the slight yellowing to the leaves. but for sure u need a ph meeter.

Just hang in there til sunday, make sure that light is as close as possible, you got some kind of air movement so the plant has some fresh co2 to breath, and to avoid heat stress from the bulb and avoid hotspots. Wind will also strengthen the plant up.
