Rooted clones very pale green!

I have a number of clones that I rooted successfully and planted in Solo cups. They've been in a Solo cups for over a week and their color is a much too pale green. I've been feeding them a week dose the last two waterings of Botanicare grow with a few drops of liquid Karma and a slight amount of Mammoth P. They don't seem to be Greening up at all. Does anyone know what's wrong here? The photo I've attached of course makes it look as though the Clones are good color but they're actually very pale. I really struggled to find some place in my house that would get the light the way it really is.

Could be the mom was fed right after clones were taken. So wasn’t much nutrient left to sustain the foliage. Tiny roots have a tough time uptaking enough to sustain. If you think it won’t burn her, you can up the nute dosage, if you are not at the manufacturer’s recommended quite yet.
 
and the mom if you notice in the photo has very dark dark leaves. I think I've given her too much Cal Mag. When I move these leaves into normal lighting she looks super super dark, and the Clones Look more close to normal.
 
Yes, after the clone establishes roots, you can feed at low dosage. When they get pale like that, I would increase the dosage for that clone.
I don’t use cal-mag as I get plenty of each from tap water and nutrients. Normally you would use cal-mag when if see a deficiency that requires it, or whenever you are growing in Coco coir.
 
But I thought the addition of cal-mag took care of a lack of nitrogen? If not how do I give them more nitrogen? My understanding is cal-mag is higher in nitrogen.
