So I planted these clones 1 week ago and the past 2/3 days my leaves have been going to shit? And I have no idea what’s going on? Here’s some photos of the plants if any one can identify why this is happening I’d appreciate it!
Not positive and I’m sure you’ll get the right answer but my first guess would be overwatering, small plant in to large of a container and it looks like you watered it until you got runoff. At that stage 1 cup of water around the base of the stalk should be enough water for 24 hours
I watered last 250ml per plant with cal mag mixed in. I’ll wait 4-5 days before I water again and see how they are looking
I’m thinking I might have put way to many nutrients in for the first watering after I planted them into there pots. I used the full dosage of nutrients (5 different things In the floraseries nutrients) in a 1 gallon bucket but literally only added about a cup, cup and half to each plants. Or another thing is maybe my leds are to powerful and it could be light burn? Right now I have both veg and bloom lighting on. Maybe I should try just using veg for a week
Clones take a while to get settled in once up-potted. And I agree, they are overfed. Typically at that stage, you need to give 1/4 of mfg.'s dose until she starts to respond and start growing again.
I would just water for now.

Sounds good I’ll just water a few times and see how they do. Thanks!
I think they are over watered also. Wait till they dry out and dont give them as much water next time.

letting them dry out a little helps the roots reach farther for water strengthening the root system. obviously there is a fine line but i use pots that have a tray at the bottom that allows water to filyer through the soil and if there is runoff it sits in bottom tray and as the water is used in the soil it pulls more water into the soil. But i am no expert but this has worked for me to avoid over watering.

I would use just water until I see her healthy.
Welcome to the community!
It depends on how big the plant is and how much water it can drink. If she drinks 1 gal (for example) and you give her 1.5 leaving run off in the tray, you will see the additional absorbed, however, her roots will be sitting in excessive moisture after she has taken up the gallon.
You should only water enough until it begins dripping out the bottom of the pot. However, you can still over water this way if the pot is too large for the plant.

I agree. One thing I hate about theses forums is after you text you think damn I should have put this or that… I never water from the tray. Once it even starts to drip it is enough water.
