Okay, first off. Don't transplant it yet again. Leave it where it is. The more you fuck with it the longer it's going to take to root. Don't feed it any nutrients right now. Cutting have more than enough nutrients stored in them to develop a root system. If your seeing signs of yellowing and deficiency that's a good thing. The plants removes nutrients stored in it's leaves to develop the roots. So in time the cutting will look worse. But this is a good thing. Just leave it be and it should root on it's own.

I agree. I have cloned 4 times using the method the OP is and fucking with them DEFINITELY delays forming of the roots.

IMO with soil-cloning, its best to just set it and forget it. Yours does look good though, and should have no problem surviving if you keep doing the right things. In the next few days I would start giving her more and more fresh air until eventually after about 10 days you can remove the lid altogether and she will boost the transpiration process, and with a few roots developed she will now rely on using them to feed, instead of using the leaves. You can watch the plant transfer it's energy around if you've done it enough times, and can tell when she is ready for a real feeding w/out burning her to death.

Sorry if I rambled and didn't make sense...

Okay well, here's the thing. I've never seen anyone else speak up about this before but I've been noticing a trend for the last 2-3 years. When I force flower a plant, the reduction in light seems to have some sort of reaction with the plants chlorophyll. Every single time I reduce a plant to 12/12, I get what looks like the onset of a Nitrogen deficiency, but it is progressing the exact opposite as a true N deficiency, it starts with the youngest, freshest growth at the tops, main or auxiliary and then works backwards towards the older growth, like the lower fan leaves would be last to turn yellow because of light deprivation. I say that because I also noticed this when I was forced to keep some plants in complete darkness for a few days, and my outdoor crop just exhibited the same signs when we had a 3 weeks of solid clouds... I wouldn't worry man, if it was in trouble it would have already looked like death and/or kicked the bucket.

Once you notice NEW growth is when you can start adding VERY LIGHT amounts of nutrients into the watering regimen, which should be fairly light at first because it won't have developed a root system capable of keeping up with a heavy watering and you could easily drown her with root rot.

Just keep doing what you are doing man, until you see signs of a definite problem just take a :chillpill:

and

, relax and be patient. Cloning that method takes about a month to create any sort of root system.
