Winter growing trials and tribulations...

Clones that were destined to be mothers went into flower when moved indoors, despite 24hr lights.
Probably due to too high ph and red shift of the lights.
Starting to come back but needing more sunlight.

They are large enough to flower but I want these to be mothers for
next spring's clones.

I use these for over-wintering cuttings-to-moms and the results are wonderful. Light energy is required.

way too little now. There is also a 75watt bulb out of frame, but I need lots more.
There is equivalent of 100 watts of growing spectrum led bulbs in the fixtures.

and if your nutes are out of whack due to PH, things could get complicated.... I would correct your soil, get a grow light and hang it high up until you see some fresh green stems and shoots again. It might take a while though.

Seems like maybe you took clones too late.... Maybe before the dwindling daylight started would have been best.

Do you have another source for clones?

I can't seem to find any good ones right now, but I have some seeds
I will be planting probably in January.

I know these are good ones, so once I turn them around I can take new clones.
These clones were all started from bagseed, but from my favorites. I have grown them all before.
The seeds are from a commercial place that sends you free seeds for shipping.
