Bad clones?

I have kush clones that are spindly and weak compared to the parent and they are growing like "stems" with one leaf at each node instead of two. Are these worthless.
The rhino clones have definite "tops"

As you can see the "mother" kush was cropped and nicely vigorous. The clones are not. Also as you can see i can definitely tell the difference between the kush clones and the rhino clones.

just wondering if i should bother trying to flower such sparse clones. I've been cropping one and the nodes are getting large but it still looks weird.

You can save those plants. I'd recommend two things. First, PH the water you're giving them appropriately for the soil. One strain may be more resilient than the other to this. Second, when the tips start pointing downwards like that it's often a sign of over watering. So you might want to back off a bit on that. Hope this helps!

Thanks I use Foxfarm Ocean with water at about 6.1 - 6.3 or so.

6.1 to 6.3 is fine. I think 6.3-6.5 would be better. But that's a matter of opinion. How often do you water them? From looking at the pics they look freshly watered. I'd try adding another day in between feeding times for those girls and see if the matter improves. Good luck bud!

I usually wait until I can feel dry about 3" down with my finger, the pot is noticably light and/or a "pre-wilt" look

Ok. Well unless it's a PH issue, then I must admit I too am stumped on this one. I'd flower them regardless.

Ok! but they are neing phased out of my SOG unfortunately. It's very nice looking.

Let us know how they turn out, she might perk back up in flower under a different light.

I keep my ph between 5.5 and 5.8
