First time "Monster cropping" (A clone from a flowering plant) and they are rooting inside of humidity dome in a Rockwell cube, being sprayed to keep moist. The clones are yellowing, what should I do until they root?

Hey ExoticGrower, I have made thousands of clones so you are at the right address :) You should only clone when your plant is in growing stage and not in flowering stage. They can be cloned after being into flowering stage and pushed into growing stage again but that is some pro stuff not everyone can and understand. Why do people do that because they started buying seeds, saw which plants grow fast, flower nicely with good colors and they choose that plant to make lots of clones to sell and grow themselfs. But back to cloning from growing stage. 1. Make sure you got some nice mothers that had a nice grow 2. Only cut of clones from the upper side of your plant, not from below, these are weak and tin stems. 3. Before cutting of clones, make sure you feed your plants with grow nutrients the day before with max 2 days. Why? because your fleshly clones will have some decent nutrients in it. 4. Dip them in special clone powder. 5. Make sure your rookwool is wet with ph 5.8-6 5. Put them in like rockwool, not to deep not to high 6. Cut like 50% away from all the leafs because thoose leafs are heavy 7. Expose them with TL light, i gues LEDS can be done as well but i like TL. With TL you can put it like 5-15CM away from the plants. 8. It is usefull to have a little clone tent for this 9. Keep the wool wet but not to wet 10. You can spray your plants as well with normal ph 5.8 water or some leaf-spray( when you do that, they can stretch but you really want them to root) 11. Wait like 10-16 days and you will have lovely strong clones.

PPS, you should get rit of those clones you made now, nothing good comes from doing that like you did. Make sure you screenshot/save my reaction how to clone :)

PS, When you cutted of some clones from your mothers, they are emotional haha. To make them happy you should spray them with a good leafspray, they will love it and new stems will grow really fast! If you want to, you can cut new clones every week by doing that, just saying how fast it recovers by doing that.

I don't know a whole lot about cloning, tbh, so you should wait for more experienced people to answer (@Hashy @Dissnoff @m0use @HerbalEdu) ... but MY take on it is that what you're seeing is stress from the chop... all of the leaves that are yellowing are the oldest leaves and will likely die off anyway... I've rooted OTHER types of plants and this is what I would consider "normal" ... the rest of the leaves look good and healthy and if this were MY effort, I wouldn't be at all concerned... Now wait for my grommies to chime in! Good luck!

Also I advise doing monstercropping on the pre flowers. With full flowers it might be too much stress and turn hermies. Good luck ;)

Remove the bigger leaves. Usually doing clones we do that because it won't be able to feed those leaves and that way we preserve energy of the plant. Leave only a few small leaves on top so it can suck water through them since it has no roots but it can't be the bigger leaves as they spend too much energy.
