Will these clones make it?

Been growing few plants currently in veg still for 2 months..

3 have been rooted for over a week and 1 just transplanted today with a few roots...

They don't look healthy so just curious what other people think.

Also been water cloning with a bit of rooting powder. Takes about 2 weeks to show roots.

Does you soil have amendments in it? Your plants look pretty bad, but I have fixed worse. Do you have holes allowing the water to drain when feeding? How much are you feeding because it looks like you are drowning them in water? What PH are you using to water?

Soil contains natural composted materials, its 50/50 soil/perlite..

Containers do contain holes for water to drain.. Clones only recieved water no nutes...

No pH meter either yet haven't Bought one just yet..

I have checked one from removing and the roots have grown heaps and white no damping either.

I would guess off the information I have, this is either a ph problem or there is too many amendments in your soil causing burn. If your soil is weak then it could be that your plants are taking out all the amendments to provide roots for your plant, resulting in an ugly plant. Google foliar feeding clones.

Thanks for the info, I know for sure I need a pH meter, I'll def look into foliar feeding clones....

Here is a pic of the mother I took the clones off...IMG_20160902_131414.jpg

Slight nute burns.

Your mother looks great. Also consider trying something other than cloning into soil, maybe rockwool or rapid rooters. I clone in rockwool, and foliar feed once every 3-5 days, and bottom feed inside the tray about once a week. Messing with soil has to many variables i.e how many nutrients are being used at the moment vs. in rockwool it's zero nutrients, unless I put them in there. So overall I would say more control.

Yeah might try rockwool cubes next, thought I would just give it a go withghe stuff I had and rooting in straight tap water works but just takes time..

Well next on the list will be pH meter and rockwool cubes.

Thanks mate.
