do it up. just watch for nutrient burn and dilute the nutes if it happens

They are only in perilite. Will nutes hurt them or help?
Are they yellowing because they are feeding the roots or?

i think your going to be fine. most nutrients have instructions for seedlings and sapplings. just dont over do it.

How old are they? Do they have a healthy root system? if so then you can give them nutes for sure

6days and not sure if the roots are developing yet in Perilite.

no nutes just ph'd water.. you need to get those in a high humidity evironment pronto.

They are in a DIY Humidity/dome
Hum. 95% for first 3 days then 85 for couple now 80%. Temp 25-27*C.
My other clones a few months back did not yellow? Must just be from taking from flowering plants? only 2 weeks into flower.
Or different strain? Harder to clone maybe?

Well i have noticed that when clones yellow early it is usually too hot or you are really over watering them. Al B fuct, an old member here, actually notes that ferts inhibited roots from popping out the bottom of the containers by 2 days. Just a FYI....Good luck and how yellow are they? Pics? JR

your OK, most like to trim those leaves off right after you have cut the clone.
How big are those pots?, Chill on the water some, and with a clean sharp instrument (razor blades are cheap) cut off the leaves that are dieing.
Do you have multiple clones in a one pot?
Some strain can be hard to clone, the real term is cuttings, only potheads use the word clone, like OG kush, it dose not clone easy, you will have a lower survivor rate.
You should read some more on taking cuttings, i like to use bigger healthy cuttings, they root faster and start to grow faster, for me at least......Good luck JR

4" pots heavy misting mostly, twice a day.
Yes there are 2 in each, and I am a pothead...lol.
Looks Like you could be "loving them to death". Are they rooted? I've found that overly happy clones are really not that happy. When I move my cuttings into the flower trays(SOG no veg.)they always look a little yellow and tattered(you would to if I cut your legs off dipped you in a grow new legs acid solution and let nature run it's course....). But I'll be damned if by the end of the second week they are not looking just amazing.
I've had 100% success with the Al B. Fuct "batch of clones in rockwool" method so far. However, I'm still learning and continually think I'm going to lose a few every batch due to yellowing and wilting but i've noticed that the sadest looking ones break roots first and the stronger ones just take there sweet time.
I rarely if ever mist them and do not own a humidity dome.

Yah...that is what I'm hoping...
I have not cut them off but did trim them, so it can do it's thing, and they look allot better now!
The problem was ...I did not trim the tips of the leaves? IMO...I think this may had something to do with the yellowing?

I laughed too when I just looked at the difference...lmao.
This is my " Topped seedling" have a thread looks better now! It came back??? Check it out...

Well I figured out why my clones where yellowing...They where dieing.
Perlite had pinched off stems down inside and was starting to mush up...2 weeks and then I pulled them and tried to re-cut an put them into peat pellets.3 days later 2 are dead and will see if the other 2 make it??? Live and learn...the cuttings I had taken prior where thicker, so they could take the rough rocks, but seems smaller ones cannot handle the rocks to many sharp edges...ie will not be using straight perlite for cuttings anymore
...ie stay off the rocks!
.lol.

Maybe my eyes are fooling me, but those cuttings didn't appear to be standing upright.
