problem with leaves on clones

[kgr66]

after a bit of advice on a problem I'm having with my plants. I transplanted some clones into perlite 9 days ago, they were nice and healthy, over the last 9 days they have deteriorated a fair bit. I was expecting the usual bit of shock after a transplant but theyre getting worse. I thought it might be an airflow problem because the room was a bit stuffy so i left the door open and added a fan, but they didnt improve. I waited a couple of days and no improvement so I thought maybe nutrient burn, and flushed the plants. Also tested PH level which was a little high so I reduced that, but no improvement as yet. The strain is heavy duty fruity, plants are approx 7 weeks old, growing under 400 hps in perlite. I've added some pics, taken after I flushed, so you can see the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

What lighting etc are you using..

How close to cuttings is it?

How mature were the cutting's roots?

How old were they when transplanted?

using 400 hps, lights are about 24 inches from the plants, theyre clones approx 7 weeks old from time of cutting when i transplanted them, the roots were all mature and healthy, i'm using the same kind of set up as i usually do, and havent had this kind of problem before, same strain as I have used for the last 3 years, not sure whats going on this time .

looks like nute burn

you got any b vitamin

or seaweed extract

thanks haratio, will that help? How much should i give them of either?

[kgr66]

I've used vinegar to bring the ph levels down but i havent tried anything else, I thought nute burn could be fixed by flushing, which I did in case it was that, but still no improvement. Could it be nute lockout do you think?

is that 1 clone or 10 i cant tell, what medium do u have them in coco, rockwool ect ect,, , id say pot em up in coco, flush with good 5.8 phed water n leave em for a few days to bounce back.....and good airflow

 

sorry seen u poted em up in perlite.....1. perlite could be too wet and or if they all in the same perlite tub roots could be tangaling into eachother as i know when i have had multiple plants in 1 pot it doesnt seem to work out well for me

 

7 weeks from clone thoes plants should be huge bushes ready to flip maybe left em too long before ya potted em up also could be abit of ya problem as when i clone n have leftovers after i have poted up the rest they seem to deteriate aswell

thats two clones, one in front of the other. I've got them in perlite in a tub. Do you mean flush them then dont water them for a couple of days until they bounce back? Thanks for your help, appreciate it.

yer bro id flush em with revelent phed water in perlite think thats up to the 7 mark but make sure as i dont do straight perlite, with very light nutes say 400-500 n even just fresh water, as u have growen this way few times before without problems ( multiple plants in 1 tub ) its prolly not that, so yer give em abit of time they r very hardy n should bounce back

 

and no probs at all anytime:)

thanks, i'll give that a try, never had this problem before so its sort of stumped me.
