how to stop clones from turning yellow

well the title explains it all. I want to root despensary grade clones and they cant have any yellowing if im going to vend them. Right now im using one of those 50 slot trays from a hydro store to root them and the clones get yellow on them. i had better luck with DWC and got like no yellow or burn. Why is this? And what can i do to ensure no yellowing with either meathods?

your feedback is much appreciated.:blsmoke:

clones are going to yellow turn yellow from time to time especially the lower leaves. they are food. who cares as long as it roots.

I have cloned in starting soil and still have yellow. I currently run an aero setup. I chop my fan leaves and if those lower fan leaves yellow I don't worry about it. they are feeding the clone until is has it's own roots.

I clone in a DWC tub with very liitle to no yellowing. I dont like trays. Always had problems with them. Maybe adding a small amount of nutes and a rooting agent will help.Have you tried an aero-cloner? Ive seen many people with good results.

ya i knew that the yellowing is normal but to vend they need to be all green for appreance reasons for people will buy them. Thats what an employee told me.

right now im using coco fiber cubes that come in the 50 slot tray things (they arent in any hydro system). But ive done DWC in the past and got great rooting results i cant really remember if i got all green on them but they looked pretty good.

ya wow nice pics i think i might try DWC again its easy to set up and i got results from them. so should i use a cloning solution in the water when i do that and/or maybe some ph down with that? would that make them not yellow?

i took 16 yesterday. put them in aero cloner spring water and clonex. I will check them in 12 days and report back. I get roots in 7 days sometimes but i don't think like that in 12. We will have to see. I don't mist and no humidity dome. Want water grow roots.

I do all my clones in trays with a humidity dome. I moved those into my rdwc buckets on day 12. 14 days later they go to the flower room.

everyone should note the stem size on the clones they are showing with fat roots, this makes a large difference. If you are cutting small clone, they can take longer.

ganjaluva2009- you say that you have no yellowing but we can clearly see that you have been trimming your leaves. There's no need to bullshit people who are just trying to learn and expand their growing knowledge.

Trimming fan leaves isn't to hide any yellow...c'mon man.. we trim the fam leaves so they don't need food and continue to grow. thus providing a food source for the clone to root.
