i used some soil that already has bat guano in it and perlite but i mixed in more perlite and also worm castings and chicken poop. got them under a t5 light right now think it would be ok to put under 400 watt hps????

If you didn't see the roots you've been a bit hasty but having said that they look v. good.

lynamfamily4 · 07-10-2010, 02:43 PM

so you think they will grow?? do you think it's best to leave under current light or switch to the hps????

farmergiles · 07-10-2010, 02:45 PM

Wait until you see a bit of new growth, you might want to see the white roots popping out the air holes at the bottom of the pots, then hit them gently at first with the hps imo.

lynamfamily4 · 07-10-2010, 02:48 PM

the pots are bigger then they look in the photos they are gallon nursery pots. still wait or ???

farmergiles · 07-10-2010, 02:53 PM

They need roots to thrive under hps.
If you havn't seen the roots out of the rockwool then wait a bit otherwise you might fry them.
Also no need to give them too many shocks at once, they tend to get pissed off and sulk.
Contemplate the virtue of patience for a week or so.

They look primo healthy btw

thank you thank you. there mother is outside and is also looking very good. i will update this post. i really appricate your help.

more light = more water loss

no roots = almost no water uptake

they do look nice n green though

bluntedoutski · 07-10-2010, 03:25 PM

dang so i should water top of plants often??i got a humidifier in there with them and do you think i should be doing light in a 12/12 cycle?? or some darkness till get roots??

lynamfamily4 · 07-11-2010, 07:20 AM

HELP THEY LOOK LIKE THERE DYING THERE ALL DOWN AND SOME TURNING YELLOW!!!!

farmergiles · 07-11-2010, 08:45 AM

Don't over water- the roots need oxygen to develop.
Make sure the soil does not dry out or they will die.

Leave the lights on 18-24hrs per day. You want then to veg not flower atm.

Do you know what temperature the cuttings are at?

lynamfamily4 · 07-11-2010, 10:45 AM

i don't know the temp but it is nice and warm and humid in there but not over bearing. a couple of them are starting to look ok but the one in the first picture on the bottom row and second to the right looks all droopy and leaves folded up i don't think it's going to make it. same with couple others the soil still looks nice and wet i will post more pictures later today

lynamfamily4 · 07-11-2010, 10:46 AM

maybe that's why they didn't have any roots in that rockwool cause i kept on soaking it with water?? but i didn't think it was possible to over water in rockwool?

farmergiles · 07-11-2010, 10:58 AM

Rockwool is more forgiving than soil with cuttings.
But if you overwater even in rockwool it will slow root development down. However cuttings will root eventually even if the cubes are standing in water

You don't want the soil to be saturated, just moist all the way through.

They will probably be a bit shocked for a while after potting up, that's normal, hopefully they'll all perk up as long as you don't panic and water them too much.
Even if you lose some, it doesn't cost you too much. It's better to wait to see the roots from the rockwool though, then you know they are ready to pot up.

I usually make a few spare just in case.

bluntedoutski · 07-11-2010, 01:40 PM

hmmm. interesting overnight they drooped and turned yellow bummer man. hopefully they pull through for u but even if u lose a couple there clones so u can get more fairly cheap keep the pics coming
