Clones yellowing?

I have the dome over them mostly to diffuse light, and a piece of paper set on top of the dome to diffuse further.

They all still look healthy, i wont kill/remove any that are still alive.

The SD that rooted i thought was 100% dead til i looked underneath.

My Gorilla Cookies take FOREVER to root! I'm talking longer than three weeks! Meanwhile, my Girl Scout Crack takes two weeks, and my White Widows spray roots at the very smell of a cloner! WW is the most agressive strain I've ever rooted and cloned!

My point is that it may be the Gorilla genotype or phenotype that takes forever to root. I'd leave them in there till they root or die. As long as there's green, she's either still trying to root, or may be stuck trying to grow, if the lights are too intense.

Ignore what I just said. Its the GSC that's taking forever. :)

SONOFABITCH!!!! so i think i figured out the problem.... tomorrow will be 1 month to the day since i took these cutting. Still no roots save for 1 sour diesel.

I discovered quite by accident lastnight that i have inadvertently been running a 24-0 light cycle. The closet that I use keeps 99.9% of the light inside of it when it's closed up.... I was just never opening it up after dark hours, or what I thought was dark hours.

Well had to walk downstairs and grab something at 2:30 this morning and as I walked by I could see a little pinhole of light..... such a small amount that your eyes have to be fully adjusted to darkness before you could have even seen it.

I must have hit the timer/on switch on the timer and didn't know it. So it's been just been on instead of running off the timer...ugh


I wanted these things already in hydroton vegging out.

So, now that ive corrected the light i guess we will see what happens.

Suprisingly, all the clones in the bubbler are still green and happy looking...

:wall:

A 24 hour light cycle would have still rooted the clones. Lots of people use a 24 he light cycle during cloning.

I'm going to guess that you are providing too much light (meaning too bright) to the clones. They'll just sit there using the light to keep trying to grow, instead of root. I use a single T8 florescent tube for cloning. I'm at about 2000 lumens. What kind of light(s) are you using to clone?

PS:. Opening your closet after lights out won't hurt them a bit, if you were to check on them. You just don't want to interrupt lights out a lot.

Also, your clones just might be too big. You want smaller cutting for cloning. Soft tip cloning is a technique where you take very small cuttings from new growth that hasn't hardened their skin a lot yet. This helps the roots break through the skin more easily. That's just an example of how small your cuttings can be, and going much smaller might be the solution to your issue.

Agree. It seems the cuts that do not want to root were taken from the top of the plant if I remember correctly. It's not only a soft outer skin. But also hormonal distribution.

It's better to take cuttings from the bottom, but any cutting will work. If the nitrogen wasn't flushed from the mama plant, it'll really effect how successful rooting will be.
