They can take awhile sometimes. Especially if you conditions aren't 100 percent ideal, some strains take longer than others as well.
Not peat pucks don't have coco coir, they have peat, hence the name. Not my favorite way to clone, rock wool or plugs work way better IMO.
And pulling them out is the worst thing you can do, as long as they're not drooping over, leave em. They're starting to yellow because the plants are starting to suck nutrients out of the leaves, and use them to develop roots.

What did it look like was it all brown and dead? I think that when clone start rooting or have roots that they use up some of the nut in the leafs I cut and look crappy I guess you could say just look for knew growth and check the bottoms for roots. Did you use a heat pad or no?
Here are a couple I just took
Dam Hawk your so fast

Well it looks like coco coir when I tear em apart, I just call em peat pucks cuz I grew up hearing it. They were bought in bulk without a label so they could be peat pucks they could be coco pucks, dunno, also didnt buy them myself, girlfriend got em.
I realize pulling it out is a terrible idea. I was interested to see what was going on in there and I could afford to loose one so I made the sacrifice. They are pretty perky still, just yellowing, soQuote:

youre probly right. Ill wait it out I suppose. Thanks dude.
Yes when I pulled it out it looked kinda shitty. Was kinda brown, kinda chalked it up to be dirt stain at the time.. Didnt look to be concerning though I didnt think.. I Absolutely am using a heatpad.

Make sure that the pucks aren't getting too hot.
