Clones rooted but wont grow, 20 days old.

So I had 5 clones that I rooted in an aeroponic cloner, the roots were about 2 - 4 inches long before I put them into soil. I put them directly into 5 gallons of FFOF. When I planted them they were green and looking great, for the first week, then they started getting yellow. 2 more weeks went by and growth was very very slow and yellowing continued. They are now about 20 days old and some of them have grown maybe 2 inches or so.Am I wasting my time with these, should I just toss them or do they have a chance?Temps are in the low 80's and I've been watering with ph'd water at about 6.0-6.4 I have other plants in the same tent under the same conditions, soil and water and there doing just fine.

Too late now probably but starting in smaller containers and increasing in size really does work. I used to laugh at that idea but tried it on almost 20 seedlings by starting in small cups and moving up. I am a firm believer now. Thanks, Big Steve.

Back right off with the light. If they are in 5Gal tubs ya wont need to feed em for at least a week. if they are clones you should be fine with a week nute solution (upto half dose or EC 1.0. Ya could try a humidity dome (2l coke bottle with bottom chopped off).

I'd give them a min to build root structure if u put them right into a five and watered all the dirt good they might just be in too much water. I grow Ed rothenthals super bud and put it right into five but only water the middle so the roots aren't just sopped for days until builds more. This strain grows fast and furious it's the only one I do this for as I too believe in the step up of pots in my garden as well.

Ok, so this may be kind of normal? I'm gonna back off on the watering, I've been giving them maybe 4 oz of water every few days.
