What light schedule are they on? Did you take the clone from a flowering plant? Purple leaves usually indicate a phosphorous deficiency which usually only happens when a plant is in flower and requires more P.

They are outdoors on a natural light cycle. I wanted them to go into veg. Is it too late??

Ok here's the thing, first do you have them growing outside and if so, its not the way to grow a clone during budding season, your going to have to keep them inside under some cool temp. bulbs, florescents are the best lighting that you can use, T8 fluorescent bulbs works real good for growing clones and seedlings, make sure they dont get anymore light than those T8's and keep watering as schedule. visit your local home depot and get the fluorescent that are already wired to plug and find a little space in a closet or under a counter that you can mount the lights. and dont forget plants need air so get a small fan to produce enough air and you need to ventilate the hot air, you might want to keep reading all the forums on this site, you might find something that could help you with the construction of a closet or grow box.

I wanted to keep them outdoors if possible!!! A friend of mine suggested to top them then shine a flashlight at them at night to put them back into veg>>>> Will that work??? Should i get seeds next time for outdoors?? Im having no luck with damn clones...Hehe

Thank you

its flowering season in cali thats the prob theyre on a flowering schedule u might as well roll with it now and nute em up with flowering nutes i like bat guano/fox farm shit

A flourescent has a built in ballast - you can pick up a four footer at home depot for $20. If you don't want that plant to flower you need to bring it indoors and re-veg it on either a 24/0 or 18/6 light schedule - it will take awhile for it to revert back to veg.

i would say get some good nutes to up the phosphorous level. also ive heard a few strains will be purple due to temp

the first pic is the clone mother then the next is two weeks after cutting then five weeks after the next

Did you get nice buds out of them???

Guess Ill just start a new batch indoors to veg, Then transport it outdoors to bud.....
