So Ive already cut 6 clones (2 in RW cubes & 4 in root riot cubes) they are all on day 6 Ive been misting through out the day with a mixture of formulex & superthrive (once a day) & I mist with unPHed tap water (twice a day).
The problem Im having is that no roots have shown in any of the cubes & the clones which are sitting in RW its leaves are turning pale yellow & are begining to crinkle.
Temp in HEATED (on all day) propagator: 25C
Humidity at 95-98rh%
Fluros 15cm away from the highest leaf.


WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

6 days is not a long time. It sounds like you are doing everything right, you just need to give them longer.

Here are some pics of the clones do better examine them. What is the reason for the pale leaves? Is it a deficiency problem?

The yellowing is perfectly normal. The leaves are the clone's only source of nutrition until it has rooted, so it draws what it needs from them in the meantime.

yeah the yellowing tip is a desired sign... that means they have taken root, slow down on your watering now ... mist once daily, very easy to suffocate

What everyone else above me said. Those clones actually look very healthy and strong. Nice work. Expect roots right around day 10-14 for most strains.

Mist your propagator lid once a day i have just gone through the exact same problems that you are going through it's a bitch the tap water is normaly around 7ph so i did a mixture of 5.5 with nothing in at all for spraying the lid.I then made a second mixture for the plants them selfs i diped the cubes in squeezing out the excess water but leave them wet the mixture was the same has yours but i just used multithrive now the yellowing seems to becomeing under control i was into my 13th day and still no sign of any roots then i looked the other day this was about 2 week after clones were took and the first signs of roots on some.I always take more than i will need just incase i lose any after about 2 week i give them a gentle tug and if they feel firm you can take it they have rooted just afew had roots showing so i put the lot in hydrophonic system and the others into soil i think that putting clones into soil realy speeds thing up root wise.I have had plants showing just small root just showing put in soil and aweek later put in a bigger pot and they have proper root system.
