should have posted the roots pictures then i would have been able to answer that question right,don't go on what a new rooted clone look's like the top end,they do look a little ruff ,but has long has the roots are good then they will be fine,i once got 2 clone's of a friend and they looked like they was dead,but the roots was still a lovely white color,they had been kept in cubes for about 3 week after rooting so some of the roots was looking bad but 70% was a lovely white with the sprout smell.
These 2 clone's produced 9 gram over 2 lb from the 2,my largest yeild up to that date and still one of my best yeild plant number wise,i planted them in a desperate time when i had to ditch everything i had because of reasons i'm sure ya will understand if you have grown in a illegal situation.Once they hit the medium they took about 7 days to see any difference,and then they showed new growth then they started to grow really strong,from that day on i make sure that i all ways leave my clones till they have a large root mass,i used to plant them has soon has they had a few roots showing.so don't go on how they look if they have a nice set of roots they will do fine.
