Yellowing clones need help quick!!!

ok i got 10 clones in ro0ckwool and i got 10 in peat pellets but they are all doing the same thing my leaves are going a very pale yellow and its about 4 days into the cloning im not using any chemicals and im using r.o water i need to get these to work if not im gonna lose my L.A confidential strain plz help!!!

When you take a clone it uses it's energy and nutes into creating roots. The main energy it uses is nitrogen so it yellowing is normal letting you kno it working on creating roots.

ok so y r they yellowing out to the point that they completely die and the tips brown up should i cut these leafs off?

It is normal for them to look like death just before they root, (especially when very small clones) it is also normal to lose some till you become totally proficient.

you are supposed to cut the tips off so it uses the energy to root look at the clones bottom leafs you see them cut /


hope this helps.

You need a heating pad and a dome. ( you dont need it.. but it helps alot )

i got my clones to root in 5-6 day's using a heating pad, dome, and tap water.

they are now on their 4th day of veg, no yellowing and they look healthy.

i have a heating pad and a dome around day 5 i took the dome off and the heating pad stayed on all the time i used normal tap water too

i dunno wat happened but there all dead now sucks i used expensive rooting hormone to stim root 100000

ok sorry there dead but for next time heres a link that shows you some basics... if you have any specific questions after reading through then ask away bud

also the guy above who said you can trim some of the big leaves that you leave on your clone is correct it does help...

also re your OP.. i tend to let my babies get a little yellow before adding some nutes at about 1.0 on my e.c so half strength...

check out the nuts calculator ( go to the tabs you can alter at the top and you will find clones )

by the way some of your leaves had dried up and say its getting to hot in your propergator... to combat id advise spraying your leaves with ph'd water

finally you mention your just using tap water ... thats another reason why they wouldnt root quickly... get your water ph'd to 5.8 - 6.2 and youll be fine..

basically montor your propagtor and how your babies react and before you know it youll have your own method for doing it..

mine used to take 2-3 weeks to coe through ..now mine show a root in 3-5 days... meh youll get there man...
