I'm having a problem with my 1st try at cloning.

Some of my clones have gotten a yellowing around the edges, with a brown tint. They are 6 days in.

as you can see below, 1/2 of my clones (the Northern Lights) have the sickness on the leaves. I'm using water PH tested everytime, and peat pills.

If anyone could help me identify the problem, I would appreciate it very much.

Are you using tap water straight from the tap ? this cuases the clones to lock out mg and cal and this is what it looks like to me . i see they are in peat pellets are you ph correcting the water?

No, we use tap water that sits for a couple days, and we use general hydroponics bloom at 1/4 strength. We ph test the water everyday. Today the 4 that look healthy started showing roots, so it seems the water set-up worked fine with them. (you can see pics in the indoor growing forum)

It's the Northern Lights #4 that have the issue, the Northern Lights #2 are healthy. Their not dead, and are sprouting new growth, so I guess im more confused than anything.

Thank you for your advice, and im going to look into cal and mg issues!

was just looking at the pics on ur other thread i wouldnt worry about that at all its just been them pushing roots as i said it will sort itself out as soon as they uptake the required nutes,clones do this a lot and yellowing is common when roots are about to show. sorry i thought you already had roots .all will sort its self out.the postman.
