New growth slightly lighter green

Hey all,

ready to bail me out again? :)

Trying to work out why the new growth on my mother plants is a slightly lighter green that the rest of the plant. It's too subtle a difference for my camera to pickup, but it's there for sure. Most obviously after I take a bunch of cuttings because all the new tips are lighter.

I thought i read somewhere that meant I should up the feeding (Dynagro FoliagePro). I've been doing that to no avail. The older leaves just get tip burn, and the new leaves are still a paler shade of green.

Any idea what it is? And should I be concerned.

Any help much appreciated.
 
Cheers, I was hoping that was the case.

I've been trying to dose the nutrients based on how green the leaves are. Guess I'm better just ramping up until I get nute burn and then back-off a bit.

Yeah?
 
I hear a plant makes a better mother if it's not over fed, especially on the nitrogen.
Wow, just as you mentioned that I remembered reading something similar. About how if the mother has too much nitrogen it can slow the cuttings rooting as they have everything they need!

Man, what a doofus.....

Thanks for setting me straight.
