well the title explains it all. I want to root despensary grade clones and they cant have any yellowing if im going to vend them. Right now im using one of those 50 slot trays from a hydro store to root them and the clones get yellow on them. i had better luck with DWC and got like no yellow or burn. Why is this? And what can i do to ensure no yellowing with either meathods?

your feedback is much appreciated.:blsmoke:
I’m still not seeing any answers

So I use domes time to time but usually and preferably my EZ Cloner or Rain Forest. And I usually try and prefer using aeroponics from cut to harvest and I’ve always had pretty good green clones. Of course a lil yellow here and there but this time I took cuts from plants growing in soil and my plants definitely might have fad too much or too little of a certain nutrient because I was transitioning into flower them had to hold off keep veggin. Also i just cleaned my clone machine with bleach. So idk why the yellowing??

Stop putting tags in the collars! Write that down on paper. Draw up a diagram with the Clone locations. When you put tags in the neoprene pucks, your seperating the collars, allowing light to hot the water. That's a recipe for mold. Light hitting on cuttings is not good as well. Remember, roots dont like light.

Immediately at first sign of yellowing, add 1.5ml/g of boost and 1.5ml/g grow from your nute regimen to cloner.

They are getting too much light, I had the same problem til I learned to basically put them in a shady area and problem solved.
Yup. I’m surprised no one mentioned this earlier in the thread.

I still use t12’s above my trays and cloners to avoid giving too much light because I know what height hang the t12 above because I figured out decades ago that a 2-bulb t12 fixture 16” above the top of cuts works everytime.

But like you, I’ve also had shitloads of success just putting the trays off to the side in a veg room, far away from any intense light.
