ive seen it regardless of flowering. ive never flowered before rooting clones. to me its hormonal and/or stress.

IMHO It's PH. I would say they are puckering. I would sweeten the water up a lil to 6.5 and see how they react in say 24-48 hours. Some plants have a sweet tooth. I would stop follar feeding for a while as well. But that's just me.

First I would definitely stop foilar feeding. IMO by nature the roots are designed to uptake nutrients and water, not the leaves.
Second would be to bring your ph down. Try to keep the ph for aero around 5.4-5.6.

Hope this helps you out.
Good luck and happy growing. :hippy:

i have to disagree on the foliar feed thing. leaves do absorb nutes. foliar feeding is a great way to add nutes without overdoing it. even still it can be overdone, so usually once a week (unless you have out of control humidity.) if nothing else i recommend a little rain once in a while. wash those leaves off so they breathe better. i use emerald triangle products which state on the label "CAUTION MORE IS NOT BETTER, DO NOT OVERUSE" so i foliar feed with those products to get the effect without blowing it. good times:jointsmile:
