My clones are roughly 10 to 11 days old. I've done nothing but miss them. They were bright green up until this morning now they're getting serious yellowing on the tips of their fan leaves. Any guesses on what happened? as of yesterday still no signs of rooting. I have them under little plastic domes and I miss them three or four times a day. Yesterday got very warm which made my humidity rise but everybody was kind of perked up so I didn't do anything about it. It's definitely colder today. But it's not cold cold the mama plants were loving the extra heat and we're praying to the Gods all day including this morning

Are they rooted yet?
Clones usually struggle until the root and start re growing
Once they root start feeding them low strength nutes
Unless you are in Coco, then always feed them

As of yesterday no signs a rooting. I've never had clones do this before or they look really green for so long and then all of a sudden got this yellowing on the tips and almost like a highlighter color something definitely happened I'm just trying to figure out what

Try raising your light (maybe 16" - 18" )
yellowing can sometimes be from too much light, rooting cuts only need low intensity lights.
Is that hot soil they are in ?

either the light or a nutrient deficiency (but I would assume light is more likely)
No soil should be fine like I said I've done this before but this is my first time using an LED instead of a T5 for cuttings. It's just crazy for 10 days it was fine and overnight bam. Lights about 50 Watts I'll raise it I don't think I can do any harm with that
Can clones that have no roots have a nutrient deficiency?

I dont think so but I don't know, sorry. Maybe if the mother you took it from had it already?

Clones don't like to root if it's too cold. Warm them up and hopefully that will work. Totally not necessary, but dipping them in 100% aloe juice/gel has worked shockingly well for me in the past. Also, if you keep having trouble, try cloning in a different media-rapid rooters/root riot cubes work super well.
And for it to happen overnight while the light was off really seems crazy

It was super warm yesterday and like I said everybody seems to be loving it and my humidity was higher than I wanted but because everybody was praying to the gods I decided to let it go overnight it definitely got colder. Would the cold do that to them? Cuz even though the light kind of make sense to have it happen overnight while the light was off seems a little strange

Clones with no roots are eating themselves untill they can absorb nutes from the medium
So of course they can show deficiency

I was unaware of that. Makes sense though. I've never had them do this though before.

too much light forces them to try to grow, using up stored food

you can keep the light on at night to give them warmth too

get an aero cloner
tap water, don't mess with, 7 - 10 days....roots

I just find that odd that after 10 days of no problems it would do it overnight with the light off. That's the only reason why I think the light might not be the issue
Yeah I do want one of those but unfortunately I have to use what I have for the time being
