I got a couple clones a few days ago from a buddy, of course he took the best one & gave me the other 3. It was only about 15min to my house, it was just a little chilly, but they were contained pretty good through the trip. The guy had them under a 1000w hps light, & put them under a 400 or 600w hps at night with the mother, its just the way he has been doing it forever, with great results. Mine are still growing, but extremely slow & not looking so good, yellow leaves / brown spots on the leaves / leaves are curling & looking all funky, just generaly look like trash...I want to just say fuck them clones toss'em & go back to seeds, but the weed is so damn good I'll do just about anything to keep these going the best I can.
Its frustrating because when I asked my buddy what his ph was, he said WTF is ph...I knew right then that I would be able to take those clones & blow his stuff away, even though he has been growing for about 7 years, he just carelessly throws some MG in a pot & tosses in his clone & waters with whatever & whenever, I've shared some of things I have heard & learned here...he just looks at me & shrugs his shoulders turns his head sideways & twitches his eye, he said "its a freakin weed man, if I can do it anybody can, if they made it this far you are good to go"
Well I was wrong as shit, not only can I not make that grow better, I cant even hardly keep the little guys alive, he's going to be pretty disapointed & will probably not have anymore. I'm about to kill an intire generation.

I have been keeping them under a 400w hps light on 24/7 for the first day ot two just like where they came from. I put one out under the 1000w hps with a plant currently "trying" to bud, it started to look a little better, so lastnight I put one more out under the 1000w, we will see when I get home what that one looks like, the guy cut the clones kinda small, thats the only reason I left them on 24/7 for a few days.
I was just wondering if moving them has shocked them, or maybe its the different location they dont like. I've tried the best I can to simulate the situation they came from, same lights, same soil, same light schedule, the only difference is my area is just a little warmer.

If anybody has any advice or can help me out I would certainly appreciated it.
