Those are mommas, I don't keep them I just clone from healthy plants and when they outgrow their space, they get flowered
Clone problems, help please :)

I only added the heater because the clones were not doing well. I have roots popping on all of them actually after about 10 days, they just keep yellowing hard.
I'd love to spray twice a day but I'm here every other day unfortunately. I will try just spraying the dome. I've never sprayed before but figured I'd give it a shot cuz of the yellowing. I have also never had to use a heat mat for the dome
@Madagascar I trim off a lot of the leaves, see pics of cloner and dome and they are also in a cloning tray w around 1/2 or so of water in the bottom.
Would cannabalization be a factor here does anyone think? I tried a little foliar feed w low nutes today to see if that may help
@hyroot I tried aloe a few months back with not much success, if you use it, you mind telling me your method? I did a dip and place after sitting in the filet for like 5-10 mins
***Thanks for helping guys!!!!!
First I forgot to mention soak your clones in tap water for a day. The chlorine will heal the cuts to prevent embolism. (Chlorine promotes root growth but kills microbes)
For aloe. When you pull an aloe leaf you have to snip one end. Then stand it upright in a cup or something and let the sap drain for at least an hour.
Then just dip the clone into the gel inside the leaf. Then put it in your rapid rooter or rock wool. Make sure to cut the leaves on the xl ok best to direct all energy to root growth

I like all the tips but still doesn't explain why years of cloning the same way, now all of a sudden in producing these results :/

Genetic or pheno drift. Or clones taken from a stressed or root bound or deficient or droopy or a not happy plant.

It's doing it on all 9 strains I'm running. The green crack and my marionberry 2 are the only ones really resisiting. I've had my Jedi kush for years and it too is showing signs of butt.
It's just so weird. If anything, I have my issues in flower. I'm like a veg guru. Everything I've been trying...doing side my side comparison tests, misting, 2 different cloners, 3 different cloning methods...nothing is helping.
I'm honestly just at a loss and just hoping things don't get worse.
You know the saying, it has to get worse, before it gets better? Well I hope I just went through the worse lol
@hyroot, thanks for the tips and feedback my man! I'm thinking a few weeks back I sprayed organicide as a preventative and followed w need oil.
I'm thinking this stressed or threw off the PH or something and then I took clones from them.
Some mom's had a bit of a reaction but nothing I deemed emergancy so maybe it's just still reacting as a clone. New growth, when they do take, is healthy.

Organicide can mess with ph.

I just use it all the time but never used it combined w neem, don't really know why that wouldnt work together...two mostly made of fish oil and need oil.
I considered it was two thick of a treatment, those two combined and prevented transpiration combined w organicide dripping into soil and effecting ph.
Thoughts?
