When do I start nuting my clones? I have some that are about 3 weeks old and they are going downhill. I don't know if I should be nuting them or not. I still have them under the dome and lights too, misting them twice a day. I also have some that are almost a week old.

right now. i think you give them nutrients as soon as you plant them or a couple days later start with half strenth nuts for 2 weeks then full strenth after that i havent cloned yet so its just my thought. but feed them now atlest.

Sure thing bwinn. The first pic is of all of them. I took the big bud clones 3 weeks ago and plugged them into soil. The ones in rock wool are blueberry and were cut 4 days ago.

at three weeks your clones may need to be transplanted to a bigger container Holmes. Check one to see. Regardless you'll want a bigger pot eventually. Also, get your lights closer or get lights w/ better penetration, they are stretching...unless this is your intention...I do it with some strains.

The stretching is because they were cut from the bottom of the mothers and have been lollipopped. They are under a couple of 65w multi-spectrum CFL's right now cause I didn't want to put them under the HPS at this tender age. I've had them out from under their dome today. There has been no signficant growth that I know of or can tell since I cut them. There is some new growth tho. I'll repot them and start giving them some 1/2 strength nutes. thanks for the replies.

Well its a clone not a seed! Clone comes from the mother plant which is being fed at about 1.5 ec so what good is it if a clone is being fed at .5 ec which is what a seed is being feed?
