Aero cloner

Got roots on some of the clones In 7 days. Some are starting to get purple stems and leaf stems and they are losing the dark green color. I didn't clip the tips like I use to do on my rapid rooter clones under the dome. Are they just hungry? Seems to effect plants closer to the light(I have them kind of off to the side of my 400t-5) I went ahead and upped ppm by 100 tonight hope to see them perk up by tomorrow if you have any other advice I'm all ears!!

has your mother plant got same purple stems? also whats your temps in the cloner

Temps in a cloner are not really a concern but you say up the nutes? Then they should be in better if they have rooted and are feeding. Also a t5 is way to much light for rooting. A single small cfl is more than enough

I will try to throw up a pic of how far away from the light they are. The light is just partially over the cloner and about a foot off the tops. But it does look like most purpling was closer to the light end of the cloner. I pulled it out a little further last night when I fed them as well.

Now that I look little closer the mother does have purpling stems as well and a little leaf drop/brown spots on the bottom ones. Check out my signature and it's mother three, What does this mean?

I've read can mean a lot of different things an also just be the strain, magnesium deficiency an also the temps are too cold!

After thinking more on it the ones that are more purple are the ones that haven't rooted and the moms large fan leaves stems are purpling not the big stem. This is my first go w/ the aero cloner. Should I of trimmed the fan leaves like I do in my humidity dome? I cut around 12 clones and only these 2-3 are giving me issue. How high should I put the ppm? Tap water is 150.

if they haven't rooted the tap water on its own will be fine, don't need nutrients until they have rooted

Majority(9outta10) have rooted
