OK I am having a problem with some of my clones. On some I had yellowing, leaves and branches growing scrunched and a few brown crispy spots. Some hade only one sign, some had a few and others are totally fine. I have many variables such as adding very lite nutes as recommended by the product, moving them under the 400MH, and losing a timer so not having nighttime heat stability that they were used too. With so many variables I didn't know what was going on. So I set it up like a lab experiment and charted all my information and made some connections and identified clusters. I noticed that my early clones were more affected and the occurances became less as I cloned more. I did some research and found that when left in rockwool cubes then planted strait into soil there were a few unconsistant variables. So I would periodically gently pull them out and check for nubs. The two clones that are the worst were the first to grow roots, but in the etra day it took to get everything ready they grew into the cube. So I pulled the cubes apart carefully around the roots then planted them. So I have come to the concusion that most of my clone problem is the result of stress to the roots system. The yellowing on some is consistent with nute def from directing energy towards rooting. And the two that have slight burns are probaly the result of the root systems of a few not being quite ready when I started with the recommended very light nutes. I don't think the nutes caused the contorting because most of the plants new growth appears to be growing properly, and the ones that have contorted new growth are a little newer. So all I can really do is wait and see if my theory holds true. Luckily I have enough healthy clones to keep my strains alive, and a few clones just now rooting to watch and observe.

But hey this is my first grow and I'd rather play now so I know for later. As time goes on I'll have more oppertunities to experiment once I have my bonsai moms going that I'll have to take clippings I don't need off anyways.

Any theories, thoughs, questions or suggestions, feel free to shoot, cause I'm here to learn.
