Hi folks, i have some 2 week old cuttings in a prop under a cfl. They are in coco pellets and dont seem to be rooting. some of the lower leaves have turned yellow and some say this means it has rooted and need nutes and some say no. I have been spraying every day and removing the dome a couple of times a day.
What is going wrong??

Assuming youve used a rooting hormone.... It may take another week. Never done in coco pellets but if similar to rockwool as long as they are standing upright and not wilting then they are still alive and doing their thing. Rooting seems to happen all of a sudden, first the bottom part of the stem swells up and then microroots form (invisible to the eye at first) and then booom, ROOTS.

Stay with it, no nutes needed. If you must feed I would go with foliar at 1/10th strenght. And as you know humidity is vital.
I'm using my 50 site DIY cloner, it takes around 3 weeks but after I put them in the cloner, I forget about them and literally 3 weeks later I have clones.. No spraying, feeding and don't even have to check them. Its a clone-o-matic. LOL.

Someof the clones do look a bit droopy but still green. Yeah i did use a rooting hormone and have been misting the dome every day. Is everyday to much?
