Strain: blosser
Lighting: natural / indoors
Grow Media/Soil Mix: miricle gro organic choice and perlite 50/50
Fertilizer: vigoro 24-8-16
Temperature Range: 70-90
Humidity: 60-90
Started From: Seed or Clone unrooted cuttings
Start Date: 5/18/09

Other Details/Images:
first attempt at this, plants are unrooted cuttings from this site. started in a&w root beer bottles cut in half and filled with perlite and soaking in a milk carton cut in half and filled half way up bottles with purified water.
plants are drooping down to the ground and pretty wilted I'm sure some drooping is normal, but do plants need to be supported. also some leaves are turned upside down does it matter?
here is the pics i took some advice would be appreciated

I see lots of potential in these plants Grin
Just keep the water level pretty high in the cans, and change the water every 2 days if possible. Make a humidiy tent/dome If you dont have one yet- and keep the emperature around 65-75, and you should see roots appearing within a week or two, and transplant to soil/hydroponics when roots are 1 inch or so.
good luck-

Your cuttings came in good shape, but you need to restore turgor pressure. The first thing you do, as nitelife mentioned, is get them into a humidity chamber of some sort. Use a large ziplock bag or cut open a soda bottle and mist it. It doesn't matter what you use for that, but get them humidity fast. The other thing you're going to need to do is clip off some lower leaves -- don't do this until they've been in the humidity for a good 2 hours or so. Sterilize a knife and trim the lowest leaf as that should be enough to restore pressure to the plant.

ive put 2 liter bottles around them. all the leaves have fallen off one of them, and there is  browning around the rest of the leaves on the others. also the veins on the leaves look white.

Hmm.. That sucks that 2 of your plants died  Sad
But your remaining plant seems to be doing good- Have you took it out of the perlite yet??
You need to get a soil mix as simple as 50/50 perlite and organic potting soil- as your plant is recovered from shipping shock Wink
Good luck
