I have 24 clones on the go right now. First time using a cloning machine. Water t 5.6 and their in their second week. Roots are showing on the majority of them but they are starting to look really rough. They started yellowing 5 days ago. I started to spray them with optic foliar overgrow nutrient spray. Not much change. So 2 days ago I added a slight nutrient solution at 140 ppm. Still no sign of recovery. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I think ive got the same cloner!.lol
I tend to pot them soon after showing a root system. A very little veg nute in the reservoir works well when you see the nubs starting to form.

Ok. I'll add a 2ml per gallon grow formula to the res and hopefully plant in 2 days. Ir just plant what I've got and feed after? Thanks for the input. Do you have good success with yours?

yea, 100% so far with it on Cannabis. About 70% success rate on other plants.
I plant into solo cups and then later into pots.

Id plant and feed if it was me. But whatever you feel comfortable doing. They do look hungry.

Im trying cloning straight into jiffy's atm.

2 ml/gal is a bit potent for cuttings or seedlings.

Try adding Mykos or Great White instead. Those hydrocloners are slow and stem rot is a real possibility.

Better to take the cutting, dip in clonex and then In WP mycchoriza directly into soil.

I can see roots in just a few days on some cuts. I wouldn't call that slow is all. Granted im only new to cloning but I thought that was pretty damn quick.

I went with a little over 1ml per. Giving me 205ppm. I had given them a 150ppm mix of bloom nutrients as a buddy had suggested the higher potassium and phosphorus levels would be of greater use to them at this point. I'll give them 24hrs in the machine then I'll transplant and feed them from the res till they either die or pull through.

Why wouldn't you just leave them in the cloning machine?

Just curious because I often use my bubble cloner just to hold cuttings till I can put them in Rapid rooters
