these are my first clones, they all had roots popping out of the rock wool before i put them in my coco/ perlite mix

They've been in the coco for 6 days and i've only been feeding water except 1/8th tsp Superthrive 3 days ago once, mostly because they were looking like this, and was gona let them really dry out

I had my t5's right above them before but thought i burnt them so i moved it way up just not sure whats going on with them

any ideas?

They should recover as long as they are still alive. Give it some time. This happen to me a couple if times long ago when I was just a little laddy. Inexperienced young and confused.

First the mother plant was not good enough, the cuttings need to be green thick stemmed and healthy or your pushing shit up hill from the start. Also next time use much smaller pots, the medium needs to dry some even during cloning, also have temps 80-90, when its colder than that they dont work. Dont use anymore superthrive during cloning.

the burning occurred after i took the cuttings, the mothers are fat, bushy, and loving life so i dont think it could have been that i used Clonex if that helps too

and the red stems has been occurring randomly around the plants i can't seem to figure out what it is cause other than that they seem fine

A number of issues going on here. The umbrella stature suggest overwatering/waterlogged soil. The paleness of the plants suggests lack of nutrients although that could be a leftover symptom after the cloning process. The yellowing tips suggests too much nutrients. I am truly unsure about what to say here, but definitely wait til ur medium dries out a bit.

Hope my ignorant reply helps in some way lol...

it does all opinions help weight the final decision, but yes i'm gona let them dry out and see what i've got goin on, hopefully these pull through cause i really like how the mother is doin and she's already flowering so too late for another clone

Though i wonder if this helps; when i took the cuttings i only used my clippers (cleaned with peroxide), i didn't use a razor blade. I snipped at 45 degrees, sliced the stem down the middle and scrapped the edges not sure if the razor blade would make that much of a difference?

How much roots did they have when you tranfered them into pots? Did you ease them into not having humidity dome or just stick them right under T5's? You said they had roots so the way you cut the clones doesnt mean anything at this point.

i dont remember which ones had the exact amount of roots through the rockwool but if i had to roughly guess it was say 2-4 roots sticking out about 1/4-1/2in on 2-3 different sides of the cube
I then transferred into larger pots with coco and ditched the humidity dome, i think it was pretty dry for a couple days but...i'm realizing now the coco was roots organic and the package said it had worm castings and guano i believe, nute burn?coupled with low humidity?
