Why would you give clones CO2. You mean cuttings?

Why would you give supplemental CO2 to clones?

Nothing to do with c02
When you clone the environment dictates the speed cuts root
Yours turned yellow because it took so long to develop roots and get back to feeding
Those yellowed leaves never recover
The new growth will be lush and green once feeding is resumed

What's your process?

Carbon dioxide poisoning is most commonly caused by working in small, enclosed spaces with poor ventilation. Although cases of carbon dioxide poisoning are rare, they can lead to convulsions, coma, and even death. If you or some clones you know may be experiencing carbon dioxide poisoning, seek immediate medical attention.
We use a co2 generator as an extra heat source in our clone room to help regulate warmer temps. I didnt think the co2 would be so detrimental to the clones but here we are…
I read that too much co2 could cause depleted nutrient levels and cause yellowing… so how can you say co2 doesn’t matter?
Also the clones have been getting plenty of food and they’re fully rooted after about 14 days so it’s not a rooting issue

A small clone isn't utilizing high CO2 levels. You need biomass, lots of light, and a warmer than normal environment. If you don't have ideal conditions you're wasting your time/money.
14 days isn't a crazy long time to root but it's also not fast. 5-8 days is fast, 9-11 days is normal 14 days is on the end of the spectrum before too long/you're doing something wrong

I saw the roots in your other post
The leaves look light shocked
And I am curious as to why the roots don’t seem to be searching?
I’ve never allowed too high of levels of co2 to be an issue as it’s deadly
Are you using a meter ?
How do you know you even need it for clones ?
Got a recent pic of setup and plant?
Otherwise I wouldn’t suspect to much co2

I don't know if that's the cause for your issue but there is science to back up too high of co2 levels causing nutrient issues. Specifically the interaction between carbon and nitrogen making less nitrogen available to the plant. There's some studies out there if you look.

When any thing gets to much CO2 it dies I have seen it happen with unvented gas heaters they lock up an stop growing.
