I cut these clones on the 1st Oct and used clonex rooting gel, Im concenerd cause I am not seeing any roots developing and many of the bottom leaves are turning yellow,

I have had them under fluro lights, misting generally 3 times a day or when the dome lid gets dry, I only open the lid once a morning, I have not given them any nutes at all just plain water....

i would trim some of them leaves down so the clones can focas more on rooting rather than leaf growing.. but i am having the same problem with my clones they dont wanna root using Olivias cloning gel, i find that the powder i have works a helluva lot better

Three times a day is probably a bit much. Clones should be moist. The medium those are in look soaked. Also need to put them in an airtight cloning bin. and keep the bin lid moist rather than too much on the leaves.

They are in an airtight dom, I needed to remove lid so I could take the pic, also the medium was only watered once when they were first cut. :(

There should be enough 'moisture' in there to last a while. Primarily its the humidity you want in there, sometimes dowsing clones with mist spray can have an adverse affect on root formation. The other thing is those rockwool blocks are larger than the usual small cubes usually used to root clones in, so the 7 to 14 day rule of thumb for the smaller cubes are not applicable here. Give it another week or so.

yeah of that bunch half of them survived, I have a new bunch of cones under the dome, this time Im only misting morning and night and I have a heat mat underneath them, I have also poured extra water in the bottom of the tray to help it stay humid in there, the rookwool is practically dry, how much should the rock wool be wet? Like in mills
