to re clone or not to re clone

hey so i recently started a new mother plan from seed the "Grateful Casey" and my mother plant looks super healthy and beautiful but my cuttings have been strugling a bit. i threw out an entire batch of cuttings because of how yellow they were getting. i was using nutristart+ to soak the rockwool cubes ph'd at between 5.8 and 6.0 a drip of superthrive and clonex . they did root after 2 weeks but looked horrendous so i tossed them

i recently took another set of cuttings and they all rooted beautifly but still have quite a bit stress and yellowing. i transplanted them into rootz organics mix yesterday but im wondering if my yield will be significantly reduced using stressed clones. i know i can get them vegging nicely in about a weeks time but want to make sure they will still output maximum yields here are a few pics.

Did you dome them for a few days after taking cuts?
5.5ph and clonex should do the job !!
i see people using RO water also

I've seen worse, I would keep trying to perfect your cloning technique. Cloning is the hardest, easy thing to do. Practice practice practice.

yeah 4 days under the dome. ive had many perfect cuts previously im only having trouble with this new strain. this is like my 11th run. you think they will turn out fine in the long run....? they arent terrible but ive had much better looking cuts and they have good roots

Alow your plant to grow more durring veg. If needed top and lst for more budsites, thus creating more sites to cut for clones. New strain, grow it out, pick strong sites to clone from.
Also what is the condition of the MOTHER PLANT? NUTES,WATER,AIR,LIGHTS,SOIL

Exactly!

Plus bigger plants = more clones hens better chances to keep the strain and ratios up just in case u fubar some.

Keep your humidity up as well.

environment is dialed in with 90-100% humidity under dome.. 68-78 degrees mother is looking beautiful and healthy no discoloration or disorders present anywhere... shes fed every 3rd day a light dose of cns217 1 part mix with a tiny bit of cal mag in rootz organic soil mix ppm about 550. theres a pic of the mother above^^ the mother is under 125 watt florescent grow bulb as are the transplanted cuttings and the rooting clones are under a 25 watt florescent tube. flower room is 1000 watt hps that room is completely dialed in with tons of air movement, ventilation, and a dope assortment of nutes from house and garden. been running those for over 4 years now..... maybe the grateful casey is just a finnicky strain to clone... so yall think that the plants will be fine after a cpl weeks of veg? i get nervous planting yellow clones but im sure they will look great in a bout a week

yeah i did dome them thanks ecips, not sure whats causing it

As a small part of cutting clones creates stress, Maybe this strain is more sensitive to cloinning making rooting harder. It might feed itself quicker than what you relize. A ppm of 550 wich you stated should be enough for 1week durring the proccess rooting. Whats this (cns217). Make sure that 25w is 6500k. Do you clone str8 in soil? Take the stronger clones from the top. If all else fails setup another run of clones and experiment with them and see wich ones responds better. The ones you have now?, gone head and wait the week out and c if those babes bounce back and create new roots, look for the new growth. I figure you already know this

thanks guys, its been 4 days transplanted and they are quickly springing back to life, roots are allready bursting out of the bottoms of the pots and the color is coming back with new growth showing

fed them a drip of root excel, superthrive and a bit of cal mag....

.... and they're off!! looking great and healthy minus the reminance of yellow on the bottom leaves from the rooting process. i think its time to start a journal on this grateful casey! thanks everybody and tune in to the progress!
