Clones Getting "Speckled"

Hello all...
I took these clones about 2 weeks ago. They are now getting these speckled leaves on almost all of the clones, out of 15, at least 8-10 have them. These are the worst 2, the others aren't nearly as bad, but I assume they eventually will be.
Anyone know whats going on here?
They are in a dome in an organic plug thing, I got the biodome from Parkseed.com and have had great success in the past, this is the first time I've seen this problem. I used dip n' grow, a fresh razor blade, and I used a very VERY mild nute solution in the biodome.

Help please!
Thanks in advance,

Hrm that is kinda weird looking. Maybe the nutes were too much for them, they do look pretty green. Maybe flush them a little with some plain PH'd water then let them dry out a little and see if it helps. =)

Damn man, I'm sorry but you have mites. They are probably in your entire garden by now if you hadn't noticed them on the clones when that severe of infection =( NeemPi its a mix of neem oil and pyrithium oil. Comes in 1 bottle called Neempy GL and douse every plant top to bottom EVERY single leaf underside and topside with a strong solution at least every 3 days to kill all hatch-lings emerging from their eggs before they can mature far enough to lay eggs of their own. Do this for 9 days and thank me later.

Thanks for all the quick replies! I looked and I do not believe I have mites. There are no bugs on the bottom of the leaves, and all the 10 donor plants show no signs and no mites on the leaves. I also have a mama plant, and she is clean also. This is a sealed environment, kept at a constant 70-80 deg. This problem did not show up until about 3 days ago, which was about 10 days inside the dome. Oh yeah, one thing I forgot, which I'm sure doesn't matter, but the clones have a heat mat (specifically for plants) under the dome.
Any other guesses?

Ok, so I just checked again with a flashlight just to MAKE SURE I don't have mites. None. No webs, no mites. Also, it was my understanding mites thrive in hot DRY conditions, which is not the case inside the dome...

looks like nutrients got speckled all over and burned. maybe when you were cloning they dripped or got sprayed some how.

I got my camera out and took some close ups, the other pics were with my phone. After looking at the close up, I suppose it could be nute burn, but idk. I didn't really measure it out, but I used my half strength solution (Fox Farms- grow big and big bloom) and added a minuscule amount in a very large bowl filled with plain water, which I used to soak the plugs. The same water was added in the bottom of the dome reservoir. Nute/water solution was PH balanced @ 6.5.
Here are the close ups, and some others for fun. The plants shown are the donors from which the clones were taken, they are currently being sexed. 2 different strains, Marzar and AK47 x Black Domina.

Thanks again for all the replies, keep 'em coming!

I just checked the PH of the water in the dome reservoir and it looks like it's closer to 5.8-5.9 (it was 6.5 when I started). Could this possibly be the problem? Idk how I will really change the situation though...I can pour the water off, but the plugs have the water in them and if I squeeze them I might damage any tender root development starting. grrrr, any thoughts?

flush out your water with just PH water. this will take care of your excess nutes and your acidic soil*

LOL, I felt funny saying that, but I was too lazy to go get a description.
Here you go...

This little powerhouse from Holland bears almost no resemblance to other seed kits, which tend to produce spindly sprouts with curled-up roots and limp stems. Park's Bio Dome seedlings grow to a uniform height and width, thanks to the spacious distance between each growing cell. And our growing medium -- the Bio Sponge -- encourages root growth downward, NOT in an upward spiral that eventually strangles the plant!
Before and after germination, your seeds receive just as much light, water, heat, and air circulation as they need, thanks to the adjustable vents and bottom-tray watering design of Park's Bio Dome. This environment offers such great growth conditions to the emerging seedlings that Bio Dome plants are usually ready to transplant a bit quicker than other seedlings -- and they suffer virtually no transplant shock in the garden.

I will flush out and see what happens I guess. Thanks for the advice.

I would leave the dome on...if it was a nutrient burn from direct contact (from dripping) the spots would be larger, like the size of a drop of water. that looks to me like regular nutrient burn.
leave the dome on and do the flush and I hope it all works out for you!
