Help!New Clones in POWER CLONER turning Yellow

[mnnugpuffr]

I clipped 90 clones 4 days ago and 30% are starting to turn light green. This is my 2nd group of clones and the 1st batch did the same. They turn light green to a pale yellow. Just trying to prevent this from happening again. I'm using a power cloner with power cloner solution. I will take pics later today to submit

DirtBagBrian (b.thc+r&d) recommends 6ml/gallon of Hygrozime, 1/4 strength nute solution and Dip and Grow, 15x dilution for 13 seconds. I used that this last time with just the neoprene collars, no medium, worked fine. He says he has seen the Hygrozyme drive the yellow out of a leaf in a short time. VV

IMHO Its from being in constant water with no roots yet. My clones will yellow up quite a bit too, but they all come through, and once the roots get going the yellowing stops.

agreed. same happens to my clones in starter cubes but a week after transplant to soil they green up real nice.

Don't worry unless it get really bad. The leaves will turn yellow as the clones tell themselves to grow roots they stop supplying as much nutrient to the top of the plant and the use all there nutrients on the roots. Some of the lower leaves will stay yellow sometimes when they are about 70% yellow or more its time to pull them off as they are usless and are just taking up space and nutes.

Thats my experience. Best of Luck
