So sorry for your loss...you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Are you able to determine what went wrong? maybe try getting seeds from online and try again? i remember you saying you were given clones from a friend...do you not trust getting seeds online, or just dont want to bother with that?
hey gweese, ya ur pretty much correct.. i got clones from a friend.. and no im not really comfortable having seeds shipped to my house... but, my roommate will be in amsterdam in a few days and is goign to bring some seeds home. (sweet!) but i'm also gettin more clones from my friend gweenthumb...
as far as what went wrong, i think it was a combination of many, many things, however thigns started out in a bad way. lemme explain. when i first got my 6 little girls, the night i put the clones in rockwool they were looking kinda.. wilt-ey.. but thats to be expected having been just cut off the plant. but, the next morning i arose to find them looking quite happy, lively, spritely.. lol.. so i did something *brilliant* and lowered my 400w grow light to about 18 inches. BAD IDEA. i came back a few hours later, the temp was like 88 degrees, and the babies were screaming bloody murder at me [ in the sense that they were wilting all over the place]. i strongly believe it was this initial fuck-up that damned their future.
but, here's something kinda.. well i dunno what to think abou tit. i turned the light off but left them in their baskets -- they have actually started to look BETTER without having been given any light at all over the last 4-5 days. i turned the pumps off too, so the only way they've survived this long is by drinking right out of the reservoir. im really surprised with no light that they havent started looking worse.... *light bulb above head just now* -- idea: i wonder if this means that the light was too hot the whole time?
