How old are the right way up cuttings with leaves etc in the cloner? They look like they have plenty left in the tank. There's no reason they shouldn't root eventually, they look healthy enough.
You're overthinking it in my opinion. Be patient, give them more time. So long as they're still alive like they are, they should root eventually.
And imoe, they do start to look like crap right before they get roots. They never stay as nice and green as the day the cuttings are taken.
It's not nitrogen or anything like that, it's overthinking imho.
If anything the nitrogen would help.
You want to take cuttings from a healthy plant, not a deficient one.
Cuttings it's temps, humidity and cleanliness.
I think you're worrying about it too much. Causing you to check them all the time and second guess the process.
There are some steps in your approach I wouldn't worry about tbh, like scraping the stem.
A sharp pair of scissors and a clean cut is all you need.
Doing all this extra stuff with the hopes of it helping can actually make it harder on yourself and your grow.
