One friend said to strip most of the fan leaves...I've lollipopped them good so there's nothing in the shadow zone but otherwise since they're autoflowers I'd rather not hurt them too much.

Never could get behind this thinking. Photosynthesis is the force that drives plant growth, and fan leaves are where the majority of photosynthesis occurs.
Sure you just revealed those couple little buds to more direct light, but at what cost to the rest of your plant? What about the apical flowers development? Don't rob Peter to pay Paul, especially when Paul's a little bitch and Peter is all about those gains.

Yeah I'm not going to do it.

What causes a random bunch of leaves to turn yellow completely and the 95% rest of the plant to stay super green and healthy? They were mostly around the buds, does that make sense?
I ripped them off but you can see where they were:

I don't want to be the only one keeping the thread alive!
How many weeks in?
Just took some clones for the first time a couple days ago and it's starting off well, but what do you guys do as part of daily maintenance? Right now I'm just taking the humidity dome off for a minute, a couple times a day to wipe it and then respray the plants/dome.

No need to wipe the dome dry - just leave uncovered for a few minutes a few times a day, any moisture lost will need to come back through evaporation and/or transpiration and you want to minimize both early on with clones. The fresh air is the daily maintenance along with keeping the rooting medium properly hydrated. A slow, gradual transition to a less humid environment being the end goal. Stop/put the cover back on immediately if any wilting occurs.
Expect roots anywhere between 7-14 days, if not longer if conditions aren't optimal.

Do you monitor pH closely? pH swing would be my guess, that or a nutrient burn from a bloom booster being used. Just speculation.

Can anyone spare a clone or two? Interested in growing in a pot in the backyard.
So just leave the dome off for a few minutes a few times a day and maybe spray the medium a little? Don't spray the plants or the inside of the dome?
And also try to reduce humidity during the 7-14 day rooting period so that humidity is normal by the time they're rooted?
Provided this works out, totally! Heading up to Tahoe/Reno anytime soon? These are super clean too. I took clones two days ago from some that have been outside for a month, no mold and no signs of pests. Really happy with them so far. Strain is purple punch, more on the indica side.

Thank you so much for the offer, but I can't see getting out there anytime soon (expecting a baby any day now). Much appreciated!

I wouldn't spray the medium, just don't let it dry out, (using rockwool or rapid rooters by chance?) Spraying the plants for the first few days is sometimes essential to prevent wilting, but the earlier you can wean them off of spraying the plants themselves, the better - but you have to remember it's essentially a major surgery you are performing on your plants, each one will respond differently and you need to react accordingly. Some people with healthy plants and good conditions make it out to be a breeze while others can't clone a plant to save their lives; it just all depends on your unique set up.
As for reducing humidity, it's not a linear curve. You need to 'test' the clones' ability to withstand a dryer environment (leaving a small crack at the corner of the dome is the preferred method, propping a corner up somehow.) You will need to watch closely and see if they wilt, if so put the dome back on, wait for turgor pressure to come back and try again in a couple days. Only when they can withstand hours with the dome cracked should you proceed to prop it up further. Eventually they will be able to stand freely without the use of the humidity dome as they will be using their newly grown roots to acquire their water.
There is something to be said about 'encouraging' your clones to grow roots by giving them fresh air daily and not letting them become dependent, or 'lazy,' with the humidity dome - roots grow slower when domes are left on constantly, (not to mention it encourages anaerobic growth - all bad.)

Had no idea, super cool! Ne nice to get the little bugger out before summer. Two months makes a huge difference this time of year.
If you're finding you don't have time to get out and pick some up and have a buddy heading up this way, give a shout.
Using the little root riot cubes, says they're made of "sphagnum peat moss".
Right now they look super happy. I'm really surprised. It's like I didn't do anything to them.
I have the top vent closed and the sides cracked about 1/4".
Two were slumped over when I first put them in the cubes, but they propped right back up overnight.
Okay, cheers for the tips. I'll try a little humidity weaning tomorrow, that'll be day 3.
