Should my Aero-clones look like this??

Hey everyone, I hope someone can help. These clones are about 2 weeks old. PH 5.6-5.9. Temps are normal. I gave them just a couple of drops of some B-52 in the res. a couple of days ago when they started to look bad. The healthy looking ones are NL and the less healthy looking ones are Sweet Nightmare. Is it normal for clones to do this...or do I need to do something before I loose them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah keep them low but don't starve them!! These looked like my clones when I didn't feed them. That brown rust stuff on the leaves tells you that they need MG. Feed them at a quarter strength nutes (or a little lower even) and they will start to grow again and be happy. This happened to me 2 times before I realized what was up. Don't let them get yellow either. Feed Feed Feed.

Thanks edux...yeah I know ...its a fine line(or hard to see line) between to feed or not to feed. I gave them some nutes the other day only around 100ppm over my tap. They were very pale in color...thats why I added nutes. It seems to have helped, but as you can see....not enough. I'll probably add some good ole magical when I get home. I knew I shouldn't have done 2 strains at the same time...since the NL are doing fine.

your roots dont look all that healthy. Make sure no light is getting in the res. Right now, is the time where the roots can get hurt from light. Also, make sure the pH of the water is stable. if the water in the res gets warm, pH will rise/drop

from what i can see thay look good... if the grean was fading and came back after the nutes were put in it was prob a nitrgin deficency... i will always before clipping clones starve my mother of nutes this is to make the clones more ready for stight water.... if the mother was heavily feaded the clones will want to be also.. but as everyone know heavy feading will kill you little girls.. keap um goin they look ok...

I raised the ppm last night to 300. The ph was way low too....I forgot I had droped my meter on the floor before I went out of town and it was out of whack. The ph was 4.3!!!

Glad you figured out the pH problem. Something to keep in mind when mixing strains - not all strains require the same amount of nutrients in the same proportions. So one strain may be thriving and the other struggling - under the exact same conditions.
