Post some pics. You have to give more info than what you gave. What have you done to them recently? what do you feed them? Soil or hydro? How old are they? What kind of system are you running?
Give as much info as you can so someone can help you

That's a sign of poor contact between the rooting medium and the cutting, or a sign that they've rooted. I'm not going to tell you to give the peat, rockwool, etc...a little squeeze, but I am going to tell you to make sure you do it next time. If you do it now, it could disturb any rooting that has already started. They might be showing deficiencies, especially if the mother was borderline decifient. In that case, some growers give them a light foliar feed with a very diluted nute mix.(like 1/8-1/10th strength) I've never done that before, so I am not confident recommending it. You'll have to use this info i gave you, and try to figure out how it apllies to your particular situation. I hope it helps. :)

If they look really bad, you might want to pull one out and see if any roots have started. If not, you have nothing to lose by giving the rest of them a light squeeze to make sure their is good contact with the cutting.

If you're using an easy-cloner, or something like that, sorry, I can't help because I'm not familiar with that method(I use peat pellets).

well they are in a dome. i used clone x they are in rapid rooter i took the clones 5 days ago cut at a 45 degree angle 1 4th in. below third node. the dome has some vent holes in it. and there is plenty of moister in the container. so it is just a standard set up. when the roots come through i will be puting them in a dwc system. i have a cfl light right on top 24/0. the leaves that i cut half way off to allow for more root growth are all yellow and the other ones are turning yellow. once again the are only 5 days old. i will have pic later this afternoon.hope this helps me get help.

when cloning try to have a cut where two nodes are spaced close. put both nodes into rockwool or whatever medium you are using. ive also noticed bigger clones root faster and are healthier. i dont waste my time anymore taking small clones. also, the mother plant has to be a certain age. i take clones just before going 12/12. nice big healthy clones, three or four nodes.

ive always found to clone the middle of the branch gives best success. just be sure to bury a couple nodes instead of one.

keep ph kind of low around 5.5 . i only try for high humidity when clones are first started. after three days or so high humidity isnt good. small growth will start to die. i only use dome for first couple of days. i like to make the plants think they need to start roots for water. if u are constantly spraying with water they are fine without roots. i only spray once a day for first week or two. then once every other day till roots show.
