Cloning Problems - Need HELP!

Hello everyone,

So i took a bunch of clones and placed them into rock-wool cubes, I really didn't use PH'd water but the clones haven't had a problem until weeks later. I would say these clones are going on 2-3 weeks now, this is my first time cloning and I can already say I would do almost everything different if I could do it again. These clones have already suffered some nutrient burn, the problem is I cut off the burn and it seems the leaves are still not happy. I haven't even fed them nutrients for about a week now. What's happening here?

YIKES!!!! Since you are saying you haven't given them nutes in a week, what did you give them before? I am guessing you fried them.

I'm pretty sure it was the frequency at which i was feeding them not the strength, I think i just over did it initially. Do you think I should be feeding them more at this point?

I was using barely a drop of Fox Farm Vegetative and the same for a Rooting Fert which was really low concentration.

Do not feed clones/cuttings. Only water and some clone solution if so inclined. They're toast. Time to start over.

you don't think they can recover?

Highly doubtful. Are there any roots at all? If not then chuck em. It sucks I know, but sometimes you have to cut your losses.

nah they actually have some beast roots down there, this pic is a little older from a clone i threw out after the burn. They were all cloned the same way as well, do you think it would be good to drop em in soil or leave em in just rock-wool?

you have - "root rot" due to over watering and container size, in cloning "dip" clone in to cloning "stuff" and plant/plug. ect next comes watering and over watering is a common mistake many make and also have to agree there is a specific time to start "feeding" them but befoer that make sure you use a good root stimulator that contains Myscrrohia (misspelled -it's a fungus) To add to what the other folk's said !!!

wouldn't the roots be brown if it was root rot?

No - not in early stages

I transplanted them just to see if by chance they pull through, thanks for the advice guys! First time cloning, next time I will not feed them any nutes! I have learned my lesson, I got the idea from some stupid YouTube video because i had zero idea how it was done. I will post back here if they make it because I feel it will be a miracle :/
