[H R puffinstuff]

i have 2 mother plants in 50/50 perlite and potting mix,they are about 7 weeks.recently (2wks ago)cut it back and cut 25% off roots and repotted. Mum 1 leaf tips curling up,giving it plain water 2 times per wk without nutes as potting mix was added after cutting.is it something i'm doing or not doing thats causing the leaf curl.

Mum 2 a very dusty speckled look to the leaves and getting worse.What do i need to do to get them back on track ?this is my first attemptat keeping a mum so any advice would be apprecited.thanks all.HR

the most common defect is nitrogen burn or overwatering so get some nitrogin into it and only water when surface is dry!

dont spose youve got some mites mate?...if not, try a bit of foliar feed. if that picks them up, feed em. tip for mums, instead of root trimming, put 2-3" of clay balls in the bottom of the pot. every couple of weeks, you tip the plant out of the pot about 1/2" and put it back in again...it works. other than that, keep em growing healthy and change them soon as you see any changes you dont like (pre flowering, etc...). too easy

Have you checked the PH level of your new soil mix? Also, unless you have somewhere else to get your clones you should try taking a few from them.

What type of lighting are you using? .. and in how big of an area?
