Too green and shriveling?

sportsballer · #1 (**permalink**) 01-29-2009, 06:31 PM

Clones are about 8 inches tall and some leaves are turning a very dark green, almost too dark it seems like, some leaves are shriveling up because it seems like they are getting too green. What could be the problem with this scenerio?

PS, they were transplanted into hydroton from soil on monday. watering 5 times a day for 30 min. nutes were applied monday as well, 1/4 of the reg amount.

I'm gonna assume you are using an ebb and flow system and you aren't overwatering. When leaves get too green, its usually too much nitrogen. Since you are using mild strength nutes, give it a few days and see if you have any change (slowing) of growth. If so, flush them out and start over with 1/4 strength nutes. Make sure your Ph is correct also.

its a top feed, not ebb and flow. its hanging from net pots, into the resvoir itself. kinda like aeroponics.
