My girl's are dying :(

I dont understand how you took them out of the 2 inch cubes and put them in 5 inch cubes without ripping the old roots out. If you did that then they are extremly stressed and you should not expect to see any growth for at least 2 weeks.

Just plain ph water and foliage spray them. As long as they dont die your doing good with no visible change for awhile. Roots take longer to get thru 5 inchs then 2 inchs, ya know???

If they dont die they are doing something........just give them some tlc and time!

i never said i took them out of the 2'' rockwool i said i placed the 2'' cube's into 5'' cube's with a 2'' square cut in the 5'' rockwool and they have been in the 5'' cubes since jan 7th its now the 26th and i have been giving them nothing but plain ph'd water for allmost 2 weeks

Oh ok. My bad.

it sounds like you got clones with no roots givin to you. if they didnt have roots showing they should have been in a humidity dome until they did. since you have been using clean phd water i would venture to say the damage your seeing is mostly caused by moisture stress, especially the wilted one.

this is 100% dead on. great advice butt!


butt has been doing his homework. if all 8 of them had roots when you put them into the 5" cubes , then you are way over watering. they should have spit out roots a few days after being put into the bigger ciggerette butt...i mean rockwool cube.

first off , you hurt them by using food for a ph up or down. those dont need much food at all. 1 or 2mls per gallon is plenty for those to feed.

now "flushing" is just what it sounds like. it does not matter how you do it. the object is to "clean" out the medium with water. so in your case there are many ways to do that. just dipping them in an out of plain water will work. (just keep doing it until you feel they are rinsed out good)
running water through them is the most common way. (just place the cube in something with holes in the bottom, an run lots of water through it. it dont matter how much water you use , as long as its enough to rinse it real good. a half gallon or 20 gallons is fine..... (a liter is proly not enough) )


as far as heat goes.... the babies dont need much light at all , so you can put that light at the very top of the tent if it will help. (or even use floros for now)

so all in all i believe you are keeping them way too wet an they are starving for o2. (number 1 factor to good growing is aeration .... to me. number 2 factor is nutrition.)

let them dry out a lot more before giving them more water and them roots will pop right out.
whatever system you put them in , control the moisture yourself for a week or two, till the roots start growin again.

your doin great ! you can ONLY learn from mistakes , an books.... never from perfection.

I didn't see any one touch on this. Sorry if I missed a post.

Softened water is evil. EVIL!

Grab DISTILLED water from the store or find a water source (Neighbor with permission?) that's not softened. Water softeners use SODIUM CHLORIDE to suspend micro nutrients that can cause sediment in pipes and a "Taste". Plants like the taste of metals. They hate sodium chloride.

Good luck! Keep it growin'!

no , its a good thing you brought that up. water softeners will kill most plants. use any water besides that.

thanks for the tips guys here is an update on the lady's week 3 day 6 from clone . sorry for the pics being diff colors i was going thru the settings on the cam trying to find the best one then the batt went dead lol

can anyone give me advice on max temp for white rhino ,my temps were maxing at 29c but for some reason now I am hitting 35-36c should I be worried as this seems too hot,I have industrial pc fans with a cfn of 250+ they are 10 inch fans, is there any way I could attach these to my hoods ,has this been done before or does anyone have any knowledge of this being done....any help is greatly appreciated.

85 or 90f is max for any species.

you just need a good outake at the top of your room to get rid of most of the heat. an then a cold air intake at the bottom. pull cold air from outside if you have to. maybe pull air from crawl space or something.

then place a fan in the canopy , blowing right between the light an the girls. that will take the direct heat an disapate it into the room.

thats the best info i can give.

thanks for the info wyteboi

rockwool sucks my balls

@apbx720 very helpfull

UPDATE

week 6 of flower

very proud of the health! beautiful !!

Looks like you just went through the painful process of cloning for the first time without intention! Clones are delicate and often look way worse before they look better. The key is not to overcompensate - the most common mistake for beginners!

Turned out to look great! Hope you enjoy dat smoke!

thanks guy's i lost 2 they just did not want to live but i cant get over how much i have learnd from my first grow, i was going to chop them at 8 weeks, but im thinking maybe i should go for 10 instead of 8 to get them that bit fatter and to get that frosty look only time will tell

also i know its allmost' impossible to tell from the pics but do you think ill have at least an oz a plant or am i get ahead of myself here

give me a side view of the whole plant and a bic or a hand or something to see how big , then i will give you a very very close guess.

they look very close to an oz from the pics , but those pics wasnt meant for yield guessing.

i only have 5 days left till its 8 weeks i have taken a close up of one of the side buds to show you if they are close to ready or if you think i should go for another 2 weeks the guy i had the clones off said they was 8 week plants but i have seen alot of ppl here going 10 to 11 weeks im worryd incase i chop them to soon as iv had a slowdown with these girls like high temps to nute lockout so could you tell me from the pic if they are readys on the 20th april or would you go even longer i will take more photo's soon with a lighter so you can compare the size

Hey greenlip i would definitely go two more weeks on those white rhinos you want to harvest by trichomes meaning you want harvest when trichs are 50% amber and 50% percent milky im growing a couple whiteberrys (white widow x hashplant) and it is too a 8 week strain or 55 days and im on week 6 today (42 days) im gonna let them go til the 1st week of may either week 9 or 10. Don't harvest cause your buds look good this is when they are going to ripe and swell up don't be to anxious you've made it this far im sure you can manage another 2 weeks her are my ladies at week 6
