My clones are about 6" inches out of the soil. I have them
in a 6" in wide, 7" in tall pot for now. Im trying to find out
How much water I sbould be putting and how much veg nutrients?
One plant looks like its dying, or over watered maybe.. Is there
anyway to bring her back?
 
If you have over watered a baby, you can carefully remove the plant, and let the roots dry out. I have done that with another kind of plant.

Water: water deeply till it runs out the bottom, hopefully you have good drain holes and a saucer under them. Let some stay in the saucer go back in a few minutes and check, if the plant hasn't used it pour it out.
Let the plant dry between waterings, completely. Then repeat.

Nutrients, you can use at a low strength, depending on what soil you are using. If your soil is nuted, don't use any yet. if not use at half the amount they recommend.

What soil are you in? Pictures?
 
when I started I used a moister meeter to help...the needed water depemds on the plant and the enviorment...some just lift the pot up and wait to get it light in wieght...if ya over water just allow the medium to dry completely..in the case of watering..IMO...less is more:D

My first question is what did you plant them in? Be really specific. Not all soil is good for mj and most soils you buy need to be amended with other things to get a good soil mixture with good drainage properties. No amount of watering advise is going to do any good if you are in a bad soil.

It will not let me upload any pictures, but I have them in
Miracle Grow Moisture Control (protects against over and underwatering)
 
In my opinion if I were you, I would get some soil that is made for marijuana, fox farm is one. MG is not good for cannabis.. You will have much more success if you use the right soil. It is all about the roots feeding the plant. I would transplant into better soil asap.

I'm with Rosebud. That is really not a good choice for soil. You do not want anything in your soil that controls the moisture--that is your job. While it may say that protects from over or under watering....it doesn't. I would recommend getting some better soil with no moisture control crystals or time release nutes or anything of that kind.

Pictures need to be resized to be able to post.

:yeahthat: i have found that putting plants directly in the ground in all day DIRECT sunlight make growing outside easy. good soil mixed w/ a quality potting soil is fine. i have used the mir. grow, moisture control (blue bag) with excellent results in the past. water well every few days. much you will learn here. plenty of opinions, most all work. jmo WELCOME!:icon_smile:
