These clones are about 3 weeks old now and they both have turned kind of a yellowish color. I'm afraid to use Nurts as it might be Nurt burn. Using one 2000 Lumen CFL about 5 IN away from the plants. I flushed both plants out with about a gallon of water and that did not seem to help. However the root system on both seems to be glowing just fine. Could this be not enough Nitrogen? Or are my plants just a bit stressed from being transplanted about 2 weeks ago?

They can start with a light dose of veg nutes..3 weeks is enough for them to start eating...

I think its the drainage. Use better soil when you repot.

when cuts go from green and start to yellow, that means they are rooting. the cuts use the leaves for energy to produce roots.

To an extent, they wont always show yellow though. Also from the picture you have there I dont see too much yellow going on. My guess is its beginning a deficiency. I dont see anything horrible... Sometimes yellow can mean it has not gotten ENOUGH food/nutrients. If you have not fed them yet, I would...

there is no sense in feeding unrooted clones. there are no roots to take in the nutes. if anything, foliar feed. again though, the plant uses the leaves to draw needed nutes from, for root production/plant maintenance.

But by feeding very light doses of nutes, say 25% strength, at the moment there are roots the clone tends to rebound much faster. You could even go below 25%.
You should be able to grow a clone with almost zero leaf yellowing.
I have about 15 clones in Jiffys that are a week old and look as green as the day they were cut. I have about 5 in rockwool that I'm experimenting with to learn rock wool.
All are solid green leaves and all were fed upon transplant with mild nutes.
