As long as they are not wilted, you should be good - its just a waiting game now. I think my longest one took nearly three weeks to show roots. Don't open them up, just look every day to see if roots are coming out of the plug. And keep water in there.
Thank you, I appreciate the reassurance. A couple days ago back before the site came online again I recut and regel'd a few of them (ones that I suspected that could do with it) but not all of them, and they're all still doing fine. No death or drooping or anything, one of them is starting to have its lower big fan leaves turn a little yellow and I've heard that's a good sign, but all in all they're about a week old now aside from the kings kush cuts, all still looking great, just gonna leave em be as I've already flipped my main crop a week ago and have about 9 blue dreams sprouted just incase the clones don't take off, if they do well then cool lol I'm gonna be picking up some rapid Rooters and a second brand of clone gel to see if I get better or different results *edit* also gonna pick up a few new strains (seeds) to introduce to the garden, in hopes of finding a good cloner strain that yields well and blah blah blah the all around good one, looking at great white shark by GHS, White Siberian by Dinafem, holy grail kush by DNA

I have noticed that with the last few I've seen the new growth tips start to yellow just a little right before they showed roots. That may be something to look for.

So after that lengthy server hiatus, I've got some updates. They've mostly all rooted, some to varying degrees. The first picture is of one of my cuttings with roots pushing out of the rockwool, I was gonna ask approximately how many roots should be sticking out before it gets planted, but I planted that one anyway (because the server was still down). That cutting that is in the first picture (with those 3 roots out of the rockwool) was one of the cuts that I didn't really care about, it wasn't cut on a node, didn't have a node under the rockwool, it was just a stem cut at the 45° angle, I had a couple cuttings that I just "Yolo cut" like that and it seems the "Yolo cuts" rooted faster than the big thick ones that I purposely cut on a node and put the node in the rockwool, that kinda surprised me that the "Yolo cuts" would end up rooting faster. The second picture is of one of those thick cuts from a branch tip, that I cut on a node, that's taking a little longer to push through the rockwool (there's no roots out yet) but seems to have a much more dense root structure in the plug. The third picture is of my entire little "nursery" all put together, with that one clone that I planted off in the back. A little over 2 weeks ago I flipped my main crop so I was kinda getting worried about not having a vegging crop while the main was flowering, so as a last ditch effort to have a vegging crop with the main I went and planted 8 blue dreams just incase the clones didn't root, well now 7 of my 9 clones have rooted (2 haven't, the kings kush that I cut last) and I've still gotta make room for 4 of a buddies clones that he's gifting me, so I've kinda inadvertently exploded the plant count. The only remaining questions I might have would be "approximately how many roots should be visible before planting?" and "When could I cut off those dead leaves that the clones were pulling nutrients from?" The clones that are still under the dome (and close to having their roots visible) still have their dead/dying leaves on them (some all brown/wilted/crispy) but I didn't wanna cut them off if I didn't have to yet. But anyways, I really do appreciate you guys taking time out of your days' to teach me, I really don't have anyone else to converse with so easily or anyone that's ever used rockwool in the first place, so I'm really thankful for your help. If I knew how to +rep or if that's even possible here, you would all most certainly deserve it *edit* fuckin hell I still can't send pictures, but I think I've given a good enough explanation that maybe you won't need the pictures

Congrats! man really, been thinking about you every time I looked at the clone box. Hoping you got on track.

Awesome Bro. The waiting is a bitch isn't it? I just planted the one I was referring to in a one of my earlier posts - the one I said I left too many leaves on. It finally started showing some roots and I planted it in my Dutch Bucket I made. Gonna be growing it in pure perlite.

I got a slew of plants in veg right now, I don't know what I'm going to do with them all.... I kinda got carried away with this whole cloning thing.

Lol yeah the waiting is kind of a bitch, I got a little worried/impatient that I wouldn't have a crop vegging while I was flowering the main so I planted 8 blue dreams, they all sprouted and were at their first set of true leaves when the clones started taking off. Now I've got 8 blue dreams, 6 critical cheese (just planted another clone a couple hours ago, waiting on the roots to pop for the other 4) 1 cotton candy cane clone that's in the middle of rooting and 2 kings kush clones that are just starting to take, with another 4 no name clones gonna be coming from a buddy and somehow I've gotta fit all of that inside a 4x4 tent that only has 4 flowering plants in it right now, so all in all the plant count will be around 25 and I've gotta spread that between a closet and the 4x4 lol. So I definitely know how it feels to have an overstocked plant count and wondering what to do about it lol. One quick question though before I thank you very much for the help, when should I remove the leaves that the clones were pulling nutrients from? Some of the clones that are still under the dome have a couple leaves looking like their completely drained of their energy, but when I transplanted that first clone, it continued to draw out nutrients from a couple leaves while in the soil so on one hand I'd like to remove the dead leaves, yet don't want to if they're gonna continue to use them when they're transplanted

16sq ft of floor space.
25sq ft minimum needed.
24-28sq ft vertical (estimated.)

Thinking you may run into some issues. If you were to SoG with maximum 9"x9" sq pots you could fit 24 in there with 0 veg on them and finish about 30" high with fans over edges of pots.

Once they are planted, I would trim any leaves that are unsightly/dying/shriveled, etc., within a day or two - those roots will grow mad fast once they get going. Under the dome, I'd trim off any leaf that's clearly dead and dried out.

Yeah I know there's gonna be no way to fit them all in at the same time lol, the blue dreams are regular (not fem) so I'm counting on 4 or so to be male and cut down (taking ones pollen), I'm gonna return buddy the favour and gift him 4 of my clones in return for his 4 so that'll bring it down to 4 blue dreams, 4 gifted clones, 2 critical cheese, 2 kings kush and the cotton candy cane, (not counting the 4 flowering) so I'll probably just divide the vegging plants from there and split them between the veg closet and tent

Feeding time will be interesting to say the least. ;-)
