please help! just picked up two clones from my local clinic about a week ago. this is my first time growing so i have no idea what im doing.... maybe my plants are fine but the new leaves are droopy and are clawing. i have two fluorescent tube lights along with 4 cfl's surrounding my girls. temp is about 68, pH is normal, only watered them twice. I havent fed them any fertilizer yet. any advice will help take a look at the pics.

how far are your lights from the plants? maybe the lights are burning the plants? im not really sure whats causing it, just a guess.

as far as the droopy leaves goes it looks like over watering.

over watering and under watering have similar droopy symptoms.

i say under watered because that soil looks dry. and the leaves themselves give off like a sucked in anorexic thirsty look.

just my two pennies

Those tips are not from thristy plants. week old clones don't need allot of water.

I've had a clone for over a month and only watered it 3 times. It's being a pain in the ass. just now starting to grow. One of the others needs water every 3 days or so. Oh and thanks but I'm a noob compaired to some of the guys on this site.

These poor clones had a rough start they where nute burned and had mites to start with and the guy left them in the cloner to long so they were starving when I got them.

If your using mg soil. DON'T over water. Let your soil get good and dry. Mg will work you just have to be carefull.

I agree Stumps. And if you get a batch with no bugs and use it right, I have seen some pretty good results. One thing I was thinking but have never tried is this. MG soil at the start, give it a couple of good flushings before using it. Just thinking it may weaken it a bit so as to not be as stressful on young plants. Just a thought...........

Yo, guys I am here right now and I dont know about the MS I would transplant or just watch the watering. Also maybe raise up that temp little warmer might do them good not much tho.
_You guys rock!
