yellowing leaves....??

my plant is nearly 5wks old. some of the lower leaves are yellowing a bit. can i stil take clones from a leaf that is slightly yellow and has burnt leaf tips or will this cause bad growth in the future plant???

What causes the leaves to turn yellow and the stem redish in color. How do we avoid plant from turning yellow??

think its things like overwatering/underwatering. not getin enough nutrients or gettin too much. not sure in my case cos i felt like i doing it by the book. must bedoing something wrong tho!

i suppose i cud cut off the tips, but what about bits of yellow on the leaves wud they effect the future plant??

Wait on cloning until you resolve your current situation..

I ask, would you want to recieve a liver implant from a donor who had hepititus or was an alcholic?

Cloning bad cuttings= Bad plants.

Check your container. Do you need to transplant?

5 weeks? What nutes are you giving? If its in soil you really shouldn't need too many nutes except for the occasional fish emulsion to provide a balanced and non-burning amount of N.

How often do you water? Its better to water every 5-7 days then to water every 2-3 days. Also you should weigh your pot after watering, and before watering, this helps you distinguish if the soi is dry. Also stick your finger a couple inches in the soil.

Good Luck!

thanks for the reply, its in a 5gl pot.i think ur right. im using all mix bio bizz grow which probably has alot of nute in it already, but they stil say to start using 1/4 strength aftr 4/5 wks. it must be too much nutes.if i just flush it well and start using nutes one wk and fertil the following week??? i only water once a wk!
