my cuttings were taken 10 days ago and in the last few days they have been turning more yellow. when i took them from my other plants that are or were 2 wks into flowering i dipped them in clonex for bout 30 sec then put them in the rockwool that was ph,d to 5.5. then all cuttings were placed in my propagator.i mist twice a day with plain water. i use a floro tube light to get them to root and have had a good sucsess rate in the past.

will add a few pics so you can see wot im worryin about.

any hints tips and usefull info will be gladley listen,d to.

No don't cut any leafs off, that's how it makes its food. I'd say cut back on the water don't mist it for a day or 2. I had water issues and so do a lot of other people mist the first 2-3 days but cut back after that.

So... 2 to 3 days spray - 1 to 2 days off- next day give a spray - next day check if they need water - 2 days off - give a spray - you should see roots in a few more days...

When you spray take the dome off for 30 min let them "breath" and soak up the water... you can also blow your breath into the dome as a slight boost. Good Luck to ya.

If they die check to see if they have roots, it could be a lack of N... but i'll stick with the water for now.

I cut my leaves in half it Actually helps with the water uptake or something from what I read I think this is because the roots aren't formed yet?now when you say regular water? Ro/di right? not tap? just checking probably a dumb question but my buddy killed a few of his plants the other day with tap water..

its tap water i use for misting the cuttings.. worked last time with the same strains and had 90% sucsess. maybe im not doing sumthing that i shud be but cant quite put my finger on it.
its a pain in the arse coz i need atleast 10 clones for my next grow.

im greedy lol..

idk that's some off tap water if it kills your plants, like hard water or well water would be bad...

when you cut the leafs on a clone it's not a bad thing but that's if the plant is having a hard time getting water out to them is when you cut them. That's how it helps with the water as you read.

Just cut back on the water an take the dome off to air it out often they are a lot stonger than we give them credit for... they are WEEDS! haha.

Anyone else feel free to chime in...
