No problem bud. 200 sounds good. you'll probably get alot more feeback from more experienced growers if you can get those pics (easier to see whats going on with them). Keep us update buddy.

will get pictures soon i promise :P
switched out res i used distilled and tap water to even out ppm because when i put my 1/4 nutes it (ppm) was @ 65 so i added a little tap which made it to even 120. will check in the morning to see how they're doing.... still dont understand how much to really to put in the res.... foxfarm nutes are confusing. so i took some advice and put 1 tsp grow big and 1 tsp big bloom and thats all.... i think there's almost 4 gallons in my res right now so i figured thats not too much nutes and not too less.

sorry guys im going to post pics today... its been a long week. had to throw away 2 plants they had bugs on their roots....i bought 2 really good clones of 909 master kush from the store and instead of having all 4 plants in one 5 gallon tote i made the decision to seperate them in 5 gallon buckets so i can track them individually. question the last 2 plants that had nut burn i flushed them 2wice and put 1/4 nutesd and ppm was at 120 now its 129 does that mean they're not eating??>?> the 2 new clones i put in 5 gallon buckets their ppm is around 400 i added 3tsp of grow big ff and 3 tsp of big bloom ff is that okay>>>>???

so i bought 2 909 master kush clones and dropped them each in their own 5 gallon bucket with nutes not exceeding 400. one is good and the other began to droop now its like wilting and the stem feels lifeless what happened?>>>>??? the other one looks just fine.... and update my last 2 clones which is god bud and skunk haze are doing better. their ppm keeps going up so should i switch out the res and refill with new water and also they look like they have small amber bugs attatched to the roots what are they and how can i get rid of them?>>???? please help my babies are dying

i heard that some clones just die naturally because they're weak.... but then i think since i water them by hand i drowned her but i dont know. i put the clone on top of at least 2-3 inches of clay so she can reach for the water like the others did but i dont know. and even my god bud is looking really good but the ppm doesnt go down it goes up from the original reading so are they just taking water and no nutes and if so why do they look good and whats up with the small amber bugs on the roots what are they and what can i do to get rid of them :(

I dont know about the amber bugs. Will definatly need to see the pics (how are you trying to add the pics, with a link?). <--- We should sort this 1st :)

Starting from putting the clones in...
1, What temperature is the water? I keep it between 18 and 21C max. Low temp tap water will shock the hell out of them and you'll be lucky if they just wilt as they wont take nutes or water.
2, When the ppm goes up a lil, I wouldnt worry. Its probably just the water and nutes stabalizing. (When did you check the nutes after the res change?)
3, Clones can just die sometimes but I would say most deaths are from human error. I normally have around a 98% success rate.

Hope this helps bud.

@ chilledreaper thanks man i do appreciate it.
So my girlfriend almost dies in the hospital with my unborn (34 weeks) son and i just came back after a 5 day absence and asked my friend to take care of them. he does not know anything i just asked him to monitor the ph and ppm and spray them cometimes with water (ph balance of course) wen i came back.... my plants in the 5 gallon tote (skunk haze and god bud) grew really big and the 2 909 mk clones i recently purchased are doing ok and are wilting a little i think its magnesium problem but when i checked their ph it was at 7 (WOW) and the others were about the same so im hoping its just ph problem and im going to change all their rez's tomorrow and i will post pics but im having a hard time to expand them to make them look big like other threads.... chilledreaper will help me with this one ( thanks man alot )

Just happy to know there are growers out there who dont mind helping a newb out :P

Sorry to hear about your girl and son mate. I personally wouldnt prune the roots. I've allways found them to go crazy aslong as you have low ppm.

Hey bro, none of your links are working. For adding pics you can use the "insert image" icon thats right above where you make your posts and next to the globe looking thing. Put your mouse on the icons and it will tell you what they do. There not the big pics but are usually good/big enough to see whats goin on. I have only heard of trimming roots if you have a problem such as root rot. If your roots are nice and white leave em alone :) Hope ya get the pic problem sorted out, Peace and Happy Growing!

I wouldnt cut any roots it will just stress your plants. The only reason you should cut them is if they get tangles when using a tote and growing more than 1 plant.
