Clones turning yellow

[Akumasensei85]

have four trainwreck clones, and they're turning yellow. I'm still trying to determine what I did wrong. Hmmm here is what I have been giving them, 1tsp of grow big, 1 tsp of calmag, 1 tsp of molasses, I even checked the run off it is 6.8. I think it might be the grow big or molasses.:wtf:

Looks normal. The old growth (old leaves) will give-up their stored nutrients to help the new growth. (old leaves are old news)

If the new gorwth starts loking haggard, fill-out the troubleshooting form and provide fresh photo's of 'em. :thumbsup:

How old are the clones?? Newly rooted, or have they been rooted for a while??

Looks like something is a little off.

Thats what I was thinking I put them in dixie cup and they rooted all they to the bottom. But when I put them in the new dirt and fed them there first set of nutes they started to turn yellow. I think its either the 1tsp of grow bloom or the molasses, shit might even be the calmag.

Ah...the old "throw everything under the sink at 'em, and maybe they'll grow" technique. Freshly rooted clones don't need CalMag nor molasses, and should be started on 1/2 strength nutrients.

CalMag and molasses are mainly for flowering, and you need one or the other...not both. By using both, you are waaaay overdosing them with calcium and magnesium. A good way to kill your plants.

I concur. esp when you just repotted in (i assume) new soil.

Gotta trust the pros, well I thank you Mr. Rusty, will a good just plain Phd watering bounce them back? And yes I did re-pot them in new soil.

Yup, a flush would be a good idea. :thumbsup:
Don't keep the soil saturated though. Do a good flush (at least 1 or 2 times the pot volume) then let the soil dry before adding any more water.

RT I have read many of your posts and you are always right on. Flushing is a great way to fix my mistakes, and the most important item in your quote above is "let the soil dry". Should be a Christmas tune, Let it dry, let it dry, let it dry. :D
