Giving nutes to clones

Hey everyone I got another question to pester with, the question is how much nutes do you give clones? I have clones in different stages from 6 days to 11 days. They all look well, I mean there alive, so like what kind of nute regime should I start with? My last set turned yellow on me even though they rooted. Here's some pic's,

The mother plant is dying I don't think it's gonna make it so I need these to. Any ideas?
 
Plain water, lots of humidity. When fully rooted after 35 days ok for light npk.
Did notice lower ph water ie 6.2 clones did better. PH of 7.4 had low survival rate and not many roots after 21 days.

Thanks bro gonna give just distilled water for 3 more weeks.
 
Fangule,
I agree that it makes no sense to feed a clone if it doesn't have roots...though there is an apposing argument that a very light feeding after a couple weeks helps to stimulate root growth. Your choice.

One reason I prefer the little peat pucks for cloning is that I can then actually see the roots sticking out the bottom...so I then know they can absorb nutrients and water.

If your clones are yellowing and you want to feed, but not sure if they have roots yet....it is safe to foliar feed some nitrogen to help them keep going.

When my clones root they go into MiracleGro Potting Mix. MG PM is pre-loaded with enough organic nutes to feed a plant for 3 months. They don't need feeding early. I drizzle an ounce or 2 of water on them every day. BigSteve.

Thanks for the heads up. I think next time I'll use clear beer solo cups so i can confirm roots. Again thanks JD
 
1) Creepy Avatar, 2) Don't use clear solo cups, roots shouldn't be exposed to light, 3) You can foliar feed; which means mixing solution into water and spraying it on the leaves; read up on it, 4) yellowing is a sign of rooting; it takes about two weeks for clones to root, 5) keep high humidity and don't let them get cold; thats why folks use heat mats and hum. domes......

I'm using Vigoro Organic potting soil and unfortunately the MG food and bloom. I know I know, nobody recommends that crap but it's what I got. Trust me I'll amend some soil next time so I just water, no worries. Thanks for the input I appreciate it.

Yeah I know that's why i am going to put the clear cup with clone into a regular colored cup. I've been spraying with spring water and with a real light MG/spring water. I keep the temps between 72-77 F. I mist constanly, well when I see no moisture in the environment. Thanks a bunch Bro this realy helps me alot.
 
I give my unrooted clones a spraying of 3ml/l thrive alive once a week until they are rooted, usually about 2ish weeks.

Once they root I will feed them around 1.0-1.2ec of my normal nute regime and add in a root booster.
