Hey all... this is my first post to the growing forums.

Here's my situation.
I got my first seeds from the doc... Misty. The grow was going excellent until my ride broke down. Anyways, my grow is not at my location; it's about 12 miles away. The op is at a relative's house who doesn't know anything about growing; I've asked her not to go into the basement and she doesn't. Anyways, right before my truck took a shit, I cloned the moms, which were starting to get nute burn. I used Alaska Fish Fert 1tsp per quart, but flushed as soon as I saw the signs of fert burn. Two weeks later, I got a new ride but the moms were burned to a crisp. The clones were in totally dry and hard jiffy pellets, but amazingly, roots were coming out everywhere. As for the moms, a few still had good clone sites, so I took those and crossed my fingers.
As for the rooted clones, I put them in some really good soil that I found at the farm market. Don't know the exact analysis, but it looks really rich, smells really organic-y. So I potted the clones, which look to be in great shape with just a minimal amount of yellowing at the tips and gave them a low dose of xplanting solution.
As for the fish fert, even though it's organic, it burned the shit out of my moms. Now I'll be using a dosage of 1/2 tsp per gallon, or I might go with something less-likely to burn them.
But I just want to get a variety of opinions as to when they may need ferting again. I'm still just a newbie to cloning, and now that I've burned up my crop foundation, I'm kinda still paranoid.

1/4 dosage with ferts working upward is how i would go about it....Just because something is organic doesn't mean it isn't strong :) i would let the clones get healthy again tho before i ever gave them ferts

Raise your light as high as you can and stop with the ferts until they recover.

If the soil that you got is "full" of goodness,ya only gotta give them water ;)
I have fucked up so many seedlings by trying to "improve" the rate of growth with ferts,with not a lot of success,plain old water and i am on my way to happy gardening once more. :thumbsup:
