i have several headband and kush cuttings that i'm trying to root. they seem to be turning a bit yellow and i'm wondering what i've done wrong. they are in an aeroponic cloner with 5.8 pH water and a few drops of superthrive. that's it. the water was RO water as well. anyone know if there is anything i can do to fix this? thanks.

tell us how you are treating them... lights, temps, nutes if any (there shouldnt be any) etc etc...

they look like they have too much vegetation for clones and that could be a problem. but lets wait for the big guns to give some advice

How old is the mother and what nutr were you feeding her.I would use spring water for it has a little bit of minerals in it that the plant can use.How big of a cloner are they in?Try a very lite nutr mix,like about 100 to 200 ppm's of nutr.What's the water temps? I set my bubble cloner on a heating pad on low 24/7 till I tran plant them in there new home.They root faster with water temps around 80 give or take alittle.
Give the heating pad a try you will like it.Peace

the mothers were 2 to 3 months old and very healthy. i'm unsure of the water temps but my room is at about 75 to 80 degrees. the only nutes are the few drops of superthrive that i put into the plain R/O water. i've used that mix, but stronger with a little rhyzotonic, before and never had a problem, rather it produced nice roots in the past. i have two cloners, both about 20 by 10 inches. the plants sit in there own space of about 2.5 sq. inches. the stalks and leaves are close together but not jammed in. i trimmed the leaves of all my cuttings the same way i've always done in the past, again, with great results. honestly the only difference is the removal of nutes but i did a plain water rooting before and it worked well and several recommended just plain water in other posts.

Try bottom heat. I bet you it will work a charm.
