Due to an unfortunate series of circumstances, my aero system has not been able to be completed. Therefore, my clones have been sitting in my aero cloner for over a month now with nothing but clonex solution. I have weakened the strength of the solution to about 300-350 ppm and keep the pH between 5.8-6.2. Some of the clones still have not developed roots even after 5 weeks in the cloner, while others have long roots now for several weeks. The only reason I am still using the clonex is for the benefit of the clones that haven't developed roots yet, and also because I didn't want the others that have rooted to explode with growth while still in the cloner. The plants are growing and seem to be doing all right, but they appear to be mutating. They don't even really resemble MJ plants anymore, they look more like houseplants i.e. they have 2-3 leaves instead of 5, and the leaves are short and round with very little ribbing(or whatever it's called). Some leaves are crumpled or grow with tips that turn at a 90 degree angle.
Is this phenomenon being caused by the clonex hormone?
Have I irreparably mutated/damaged the plants by keeping them in the clonex for so long?
Should I switch over to normal nutrients?
Might anyone have any ideas why most clones would root in 2-3 weeks but some still not sprouting after 5 weeks (I do see root bumps)?
