I am curious whether overfeeding a mother can lead to clones taking longer to root.
I've got a plant that was overfed and I've been watering it with ph'd RO water for like a month, it hasn't started to yellow or look unhealthy at all yet, but when I water I am not doing the usual 20% drainage, much less than that, so I think that the plant is still uptaking nutrients dissolving in the water.....
anyway, I took some clones from that plant and after 10 days in rapid rooters there are still no signs of roots. Just today one of the clones' leaves started looking a tiny bit yellow but otherwise they are perky and healthy.
I've got them on a heat mat, used a dome the first few days, warm enough in the room, not keeping them too wet, etc, but this same strain usually roots for me in like 6-7 days.
Is it possible/likely that the clones just had too many nutrients stored up and it's taking longer to go through them before the plant wants to make roots?
