Help with my clones! please

let them dry out some, they should recover fine.

dry out some dont they look dry enough, captin kush?

I rooted them in rockwool and I put them in coco with like 50-75 ppm canna nutes, I think is what did it.

but anyway so U guys out there think these can come back for me? I hope so

They look to me like they are too wet, over watered, too humid of an enviroment, etc.

Didnt know they were in coco and havent used the medium so I could very well be mistaken.

The yellowing of leaves means to much humidity. Take the dome off they should recover.

awesome hope they do recover, I think I'm going to cut some more clones any way cuz I am putting these 3 beautiful plants into flowering this week. so might as well take some more clones before I change the lights, then in 40 days they will be half way done flowering and I will put in another four plants vegged for 40 days.

You sure they're yellowing due to too much humidity? I think they yellow due to the fact that they don't have any roots and the clone has to live off of the stored nutrients it has in its leaves.

I water clone which means that I just let the stem of a cutting hang in water until roots pop out. Then I use to pop them in a damp rockwool starter cube but around day 3 or 4, my bottom leaves would start to yellow and some would die and I would have to clip them off.

Now what I do is have the starter cube SOAKING wet and then I would mist the leaves for a day. This worked like a charm.

I started this method because I noticed that my cuttings would stay upright and perky when they would sit in the water waiting for roots to pop out. Even cuttings that would wilt would pop back up to life a day later from having the stem sit in water. The only time the leaves started to yellow on me was when I put them in the starter cube. It dawned on me that the stem wants to be in something really wet.

So the last time I put some rooted clones in starter cubes (which was just a few days ago), I put the stem in a soaking wet cube, misted for a day and voila!, healthy looking clones.

Hope this helps.

so should I chop off a little of the bad leaves?

look at my first post for pics

Only chop the leaf off if the tips are turning brown and it actually looks dead. I usually don't clip the leaf or leaves off until they're pretty much dead. That way, I give the cutting a chance to use all the stored nutrients that's in the leaf.

BTW, your clones don't look that bad right now. You still have a possibility of saving those leaves since you said the cutting has roots and that'll enable the cutting to take in some nutrients.

What I might suggest is to spray the leaves with a 1/4 to 1/2 strength nutrient solution. That way, the cutting will be staying moist and getting food at the same time.

Thanks I will just let them chill for a while without the dome on them see what happens
