Bubbler / Clones...Yellowing & Rust spot Leaves
Well...the first attempt with this bubbler / the clones wouldn't root and acquired a clear to white slime in system, that problem solved. Now on the second attemp, the two clones have rooted, no slime issues, but now the leaves are discoloring and a majority of the pictures posted for these types of problems, just don't quite look like what I am seeing. Here are a couple of pics and also the facts with the grow.
7 gallon system, BUBBLER
RO water is being used Ph @ 6.5-6.7
Schultz Orchid Grow @ 3/4 strength
30ml of Hydrogen Peroxide per gallon (actually used about 20ml per)
to stop the slime problem.
Compact Flouro (x2) at 34watts each.
Temps in mid 70's constant
Hoping to get some help from the pro's as I intend on moving the bubbler into the grow cabinet in about 2 weeks when the soil grown plants finish up. Was hoping to avoid the delay in clone starting by doing it this way.
PLEASE HELP!!!

You need some fertilizer that can be used in water culture. That Schultz is probably lacking in some micro and trace elements. That leaf looks like my clones when they spent energy on making roots, and they always grow normally. In hydro 5.8-6.2 is a better ph range.

1st get rid of the orchid mix for clones...I don't know if if would work for older plants, but I doubt it would do good job..
2nd get superthrive put a 1/2 capful in your res,...$5 at wally's
keep stems out of the water, just letting the bubbles spray on them...
Are you using takeroot...$4 at Wally's
if you do all these things, your setup sounds right, you should do OK
Oh yeah, get miracle grow leaf shine at wally's also $5 to uuse as anti-wilt
no dome required...hope this helps P.S. don't use Hydrogen peroxide.

how wet is that plug you made? It looks more like a mold/fungus to me.
You plug should not hold water at all the clones will rot.
