Light green / yellow clones

Hello all,

I have a question regarding the included picture in this post.

Long story short, I have a batch of clones that are very... pale green, almost a yellowish color.

We've been alternating between feeding them GH nutes at the recommended rate (seedling/cutting) , and a simple water & superthrive mix for the odd watering periods.

We have transplanted some clones to bigger pots from these keg cups and they were slightly rootbound, and I'm wondering if that's likely the problem here as well.

I've heard of anything from overfeeding to nitro def. for yellowing leaves so I'm a bit confused.

Any ideas?

they are in 16 oz beer cups just transplanted to 1 gal pots with good quality soil.

after feeding with only water and superthrive they are already looking alot greener.

How much are you watering? I just transplanted my clones and overwatered them and they look almost exactly like yours. just a heads up..

googly,

Can I make a recommendation?

1) Overwatering is worse than underwatering.
2) STOP using all of the hormone & chemical derived plant foods. All you should be using right now in your water is fish emulsion (4-1-1).
3) As you have learned the cups need alot of holes, and makes sure they are on the lowest parts on the bottom of the cup to prevent saturation issues.

Good Luck :peace:

so googly, how long did it take for your plants to recover from the over watering? its been almost a week and mine still are pretty droopy and light green/yellow.
