Help with clones

first time taking clones. They all looked ok until yesterday. I cut them and immediately put them in a cup of water. I shaved off a little bit on the stem to help rooting. Dipped in cloning gel, then put into my jiffy pellets. Been 5 or 6 days now. A few of them are very yellow but others are still really green. They got a little dry a couple days ago while I was away on business and my wife forgot to spray them for 24 hours. Anyone have suggestions to help with the yellowing?

You might be over misting them. I spray only on the dome in the morning and before lights out. Also with dipping in clonex and jiffys, 100% rooting rate in 10-14 days.

Think I should try pulling one out to see if it has roots? Isnt 5 days really fast to have roots though? Also what should I do after it has good roots...leave it in that pellet and put the entire pellet in a solo cup full of soil or just pull out the stem/roots and transplant it into soil in the cup? Thanks for your help guys.

Your looking at 10+ days in plugs. Aero cloners root the fastest. I get a golf ball root ball in 5 days.

Just leave them. Yellowing is normal. Quite often my clones will start to look terrible and then they always take off.

You want to let the peat pellet dry out and then re moisten it. That forces the roots to grow and look for water.

You should have some roots popping out in the next week or so
