How to NUTE clones

I have 11 small clones under a humidity dome in grow sponges. Along with 4 flaurescent lights (60w). They've been there about 9 days and still showing no roots.

How do i apply nutes to these little guys properly? I have some Age Old Bloom (5-10-5) which i foliar fed to one of the clones. With positive results.
I heard Phosphurs promotes the root growth so, Is it a good idea to foliar feed a batch of young clones at this point?
The newer leaves are turning a lighter greenish yellow and larger leaves are showing yellows tips. Is this a sign of nute hunger?

Always at 80-88 degrees with 80-90% humidity under the dome. 24/7 light cycle. Any tips appreciated :) :weed:

For Gods sake man don't give them nutes, you'll kill them!! They won't need nutes for sometime yet. Just make sure they have good temps and adaquate humidity to help them get those roots growing. Once the roots have come in and you transplant them THEN you can start giving them nutes.

i wouldnt recommend feeding them. Some plants take well but most dont. the yellowing leaves at the bottom is a normal thing. Plant cant support all of the leaves so it kills the bottom few. Sometimes it helps to clip the leaves about half way down the leaf. Reduces the size of leaves so u can have more smaller ones that will eventually get bigger once u start vegging.

you dont wanna add any nutes untill they are fully rooted an then u only give them just a tiny bit

but if its real humid in the humidity dome it will take them longer to root

so ur saying by using olivas cloning solution in my power cloner will kill them? my ppm is 300 ph6.8, i also sprayed them with organicide and a light blast off mix, will be using water from here on my mistake i know that i should not have added the solution so early idk any tips? good thread btw and my 2 cents is thinking thier 2 hot i run my clones 24 hour light around 70 2 84 deegrees and i like 2 mist them when they look dry and sorda wilty, no humidity dome either, keep light close enough so they feel warm never 2 hot, btw is it okay 2 use h2o2 on clones??

How do you figure? You NEED high humidity for clones to be able to grow roots. Until they grow roots, the only way for them to take in water is through the leaves, thus you need high humidity.

Reefermaster - you are talking about cloning gels, which is fine to produce clones. I believe the OP was asking about a normal regime of nutrients, which for unrooted clones is a no-no.

i agree thank u. im using olivas liquid solution not gel, i heard this stuff woks really well, ive had major results using a home made dwc cloner with air pump super oxygenated, water is the magic 2 growing u just need 2 use it correctly and not 2 much, ive killed clones by spraying them with nutrient solution b4, they are so sensitve , i hope i dont fuck these up ppm 300 okay?

If you feel you REALLY NEED (sigh.......if you feel you must.......) to "feed" your babies just foliar feed with a little superthrive. wont burn/"OD" your cuttings and ive noticed that the leaves hold up better W/ super thrive (greener, healthier, vigorous growth.......) just my .02 .

super thrive is strong any b1 and hormones will work but its not really nessecery, does any one use a power cloner (mist roots) i have it on a 1 on 4 off, if i made it come on for one minute and 20 off would they root faster? i think they stay 2 wet idk pls im not aererating this time already see root nodes on some of them ph is now 7.2 should i worry?
