First time Cloning, Am i doing it right?

This is my first clone-op. I took 5 cuttings from a 2.5 month old female "bagseed" plant. I say bagseed in quotes cause the bag it came from was actually some very dank marijuana and not the brick kind I typically attribute the term bagseed to.

The mother plant was actually about a week and a half into flowering and had some very tiny buds. I hope that's not an issue.

I took the cuttings with clean, sharp scissors I poured rubbing alcohol onto first and then I put the cuttings into a glass of Brita water until I was ready to put them into Jiffy pellets. I didn't know you were supposed to leave the netting on the pellets so I hope it's ok.

I dipped the stems in some Clonex I bought a little packet for about $7 and put into the wet Jiffy pellets and into the Jiffy tray.

I have one 26-watt Daylight CFL illuminating the tray. I think I got them too wet so I took the cover off.

Anyways please check out my setup and lemme know if I'm doing ok.:leaf:

thanks, since theyre very early into flower will they still have a difficult time switching themselves back to veg?

should i go dome or no dome?

and the jiffy pellets look soaked and kinda like a turd, is that bad?

If u have to much light it will not do you good. You said one cfl thats cool. Thats all I use. As for it being in flower, well thats going to be ur wild card. Hopefully it has enough stored nutes to survive on. It most likely will take a lil longer than average clones being it's reverting from flower back to veg and making roots. only time will tell

Dome and keep humidity high. They have NO roots so must feed through there leaves. They also release water through theres leaves and this is why we cut the leafs. To cut perspiration down.

ya i had cut the leaves last night when i made the clones.

the leaves keep drooping one by one though, im kinda worried cause the mother plant also isnt doing well after i took these clones and it'd suck to lose it all
 
Here's an update on the clones.

This one here is showing some roots, is it ready to go into rockwool cubes and in a bucket? It's been 1.5 weeks:

Here is the clone above with the rest of her sisters:

This one I knocked over and tried to save by putting the crumbled Jiffy bits in a Rockwool cube. Will she survive?

Looking good man..The leaves droop because of the shock and no root system everything looks good and the one you put in rockwool should be fine..Good luck
