Hi, Please help someone. I did my research but we all know book smart dose not compare to know how.

Here is my setup 6 x 2 ( closet )

I made a aeropoinc system with 6 pots. Its a 30 Gallon case but only am using 5 gallons to pump. The system is set to 1 min on and 4 min off.

Lights - 400 watt about 24 inches from the clones - has been running for 24 hours straight. The clones are still small but I'm not sure if its too much light thus far? or the cycle I should do.

Nutrients - I have added a TSP for each gallon of Vita Grow Part A,B, and C. Also I made a spray of Fox Farm grow big and Superthrive ( mixed half cap (Grow big) and about 6 drops (superthrive) into a 750 ML spray bottle. ( spray them like 3 times a day )

Air - I have a 60 air pump with two 12 in. air filters attached. It runs 24/24. I have 2 fans running 30 min. every 1 hour. One by an open window and the other in the closet.

I have had the clones for about 4 days now and they don't seen to be growing or looking any better then when I first got them. Like they are drying and burning ?

I have attached pictures to illustrate my description above


PLEASE HELP !

I thought I read that clones only needed low light. I don't know if that means you can have too much light with that 400 on them or not though

yes

full lighe is way too much

unplug that big bitch and put them under 1-2 cfl

your plants water uptake requirements is determined by the rate of photosynthises, which is determind by light recieved.

right now your clones have almost no ability to carry water upwards, but their foliage is trying to go at 100%

cut light WAY back untill you see roots, you cant always trust new growth to be a sign of rooting
