You are going to stretch your babies to death, they spacing should be 2-4in max.

im just now seeing this thread. Give us a chance. We are light on members atm, but hoping that'll change. How much spacing do you have on the clone between nodes? My recommendation would be to watch it's growth carefully. What we aim for is a short, tight space between the nodes of the plant. this is accomplished by having adequate light (among other factors). When im starting to veg my plants I'll put the floros just a few inches away and they grow nicely. If you show a picture of it we can help you a bit more perhaps.

also, considering that you just asked a single question and it was answered correctly, there was not much more else to say. If you wanted to know more, why don't you ask more questions?

In the newer growth or older? N Def's start with the older growth and move upwards. Micro Def's (like iron, sulfur, and copper) begin in the newer growth and work downwards.
Provided it's not due to a PH lockout the only way to fix it is with a feeding. Fox Farms Grow Big contains all the macro and micro's you would need, or if you don't have access to that feeding it some type of veg nute that contains macro and micro nutes is the way to go.

Its in the begging stages i guess its called the veg stage, i got this clone from the clinic 2 weeks ago and it was still a lil baby maybe 3 or 4 lil leafs, I thought Feed With HIgh Nitrogen is needed for this stage and any other will damage it,
Which is true?

Well feed with high N is true to a point. You want your veg ferts to have more N then P or K, but small seedlings and clones need lighter doses of the solution at first. After a light dose or two you should work the strength up to heavier doses.
However, feeding your plant a solution that has another nutrients along with the N is not a bad thing.The Grow Big I mentioned has an NPK of 6-4-4, it's all I ever use in the veg state. It also contains micro nutrients such as sulfur and iron. You can use Grow Big all the way up until about the second week of flowering if you want.
Anyways, feeding your plants won't damage them. It's all in how much and when you feed your plant that determines that.

For a soil based plant, it's probably a bad thing to feed
three days after transplant, eh?
It's an already established plant.

dunno, it's possible it would be ok. But there are other ways that don't involve pesticides to get rid of insects.
What kind of bug problem is it?

get a sticky fly paper. It will catch them if you can keep it off your fingers/plants. Also the pest issue can be a big problem if not corrected ASAP if not prevented from the begining.Alot of people cover the top 1'' of soil with course sand to deter pests. Try and avoid pest sprays/products if possible but if necessary use something organic recomended here and ask us advice before you use it for proper application/techniques. Stretching should kinda be avoided and as mentioned above flouro's should be very close.( i do 2-3'' from the desired area) Once you straighten out the lighting you should see improvements, if you can get those bugs at bay.
--------------------
All of the statements and posts I make or have made are fake. I just found all the pictures and copied and pasted them here. I am in no way associated with any of the materials discussed here. I'm just bored, and lame.
