don't assume I kno what I'm on about.. I just make it sound good hahah
errr, I've seen that before some years back.. I wouldn't say its nutrient straight away I'd say temperature. But we can diagnose;

What is the concentration of your nutrient feed in the system? Is it a full dose as prescribed on the container?

What is the distance of your light from the tops of the plants?

If I remember, the very last time I saw light green curling leaves similar to that, but worse, was when I drowned the roots using NFT. Is your NFT system duct taped to the max not allowing oxygen to the cubes?

Could be lacking in nitrogen? errrrr... Describe what you have done up to this stage, then we can all offer assistance!

i would re-pot them, my plants did that before and would grow at all until i re-potted them, they stayed alive for two weeks, completely motionless, haha i never realized how weird that is, maybe it was like suspended animation or sumthing, maybe not, maybe im an ideot....

Hi Spirit level.

My nutes r (18-20 cf) No not duct taped it either i have 2 air stones in the res so think the oxygen shoud be ok.I noticed today the ph is (5.76)I was going to put ph up in to correct it to about (6.0) but will be changing the water on sunday so dont really want to add more chemicals.

These are the 36 cheese that ended in the bin. They were light green, almost yellow. Just didn't look healthy and I'm no hydro buff. I don't think I did enough research. I'm going to start again with hydro I think. 5 cheese on a smaller tray which also got fooked!!

ok so you aint the only one! lol
you should always run the system for three days or so on water only b4 taking cuttings, this will leech out the nitrogen from the mother and help the clones root quicker and with less stress, this withstanding, they will proberbly root okay, where and how are ya going to clone them? cloner or propagator?
good luck!
