What am I doing wrong? Having the worst luck cloning. ....pics

Grodan cubes soaked in rapid rooter solution ph 5.6. clonex gel keep n dome. Tried with warming Matt and without it??
light are 2 65 watt cfl and a few 32 watt cfls temp is a little high right now but wasn't last two trials.

More pics don't know why they won't group

Personally I don't use the hood at all. I use a 1:1:1 ratio of 3 part nutes. Every day they receive about an ounce shot glass of 1:1:1 or straight water. Cubes look dry to me. If your growing area has a humidity level of 50-70% that is more than fine for rooting. Strains also play a role. Good Luck

way too much light to try to be rooting clones I use a single 23 watter sometimes 2 depending how many clones I take but never more than 2

just keep them wet and should be good. 10 days + some times

Higher temps will hurt your success rate with clones.

yeah man just wait it can take 2-3 weeks sometimes. i just mist every day for like a week at like 85 degrees or so then i leave my dome off for a few hours after 7-10 days and if they are going to root they usually will not wilt and then i just keep the right amount of moisture in my pucks and wait. less light makes them root better instead of try to grow.

also you could try taking smaller tops to clone with, those are some pretty big clones in a few of them.

How long has it been? Give it time I have seen clones take up to two weeks before they root. Are the cubes dry before you water them? I like to make sure they are almost completely dry before I feed them. . Other than that it looks good to me, just takes t
ime....

flouros should be 1' away and lighting should be 24/7 . take hood off twice a day and mist as little as possible. try to let them droop for a little bit and put hood back on
if they dont perk back up give em a mist
I like to water the cubes by spraying them with the mister and pick it up to feel how heavy it is
be super carful not to tug on the clone it may rip the roots outt

Thanks for all the help

I think they look fine. Clones always look droopy at first. There are a lot of different ways to clone successfully, don't get caught up in people's opinions of "the right way" to do something. I've never used anything but water and a regular fluorescent light and have had 95% success rate on cloning, but do what works for you. I think everything looks good, just more time.

Get a thermometer and try to keep the temp around 78 degrees.

They Been there for 16 days no sign of roots. Mind boggling, when I see videos all the time. Talks bout 95 % success rate ?!?.
really gettin me pissed that I can't get any. FML

Pulled the worst looking one after I let them breath for four hrs. What is this, n why is it happening ?thankz

.................?..........?

Save the headache. Make an aercloner.

Happy Growing

Pic not working but it has a bloated stem with redish brownish color???

It Looks as though its getting ready to root.

I was able to put pic in new tread so plz look

It's starting the root growing process, but you probably fucked it up pulling it out. I know you always hear about people that root in five or six days, but it is kinda strain dependent I think. It can take two weeks or longer to root. Don't know if I would leave dome off for 4 hours. And when they talk about 95% success rate, that has nothing to do with the time it took to grow roots.
