clones are droopy.

hey i just recently did 50 cuttings and some of them are perky others are droopy like laying on the floor. Will they still grow roots? I did the clonex solution in the water and the whole thing. I did a mix of using oasis cubes and root riot. just curious if this is normal. would suck if not

Do you have a humidity dome over the clones?

They Need lots of humidity

I would recut them, then re-dip them and then give them six hours of darkness. A humidity dome is not needed then. All they need is six hours of darkness after cutting. Then 24 is ok. Fresh material is needed. This method works for me unless the rapid rooters are old then nothing. I am trying rockwool now. Albfuct fact has this advice also.

also a humid dome would perk them up too.

Oh yeah they have a humidity dome, they have a heat pad, I spray everything all the time, everything is PH treated and stuff. They're sort of short like 4 inches I saw A B Funct guide and his were like 9 inches tall so thats why I thought I couldn't use his method I never heard of this 6 hour darkness thing sounds interesting however.

u never heard of 6 hour darkness?
generally ur supposed to do 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness, or u can do 24 hours. this applies to cloning and vegging.
although, ive never heard of 6 hours of darkness right away making a cutting.
i also mist the clones and spray the dome at least twice a day

have u snipped off about 1/3 of the leaves ? so the clones can focus more on rooting ?
