CLONES NEED HELP!!

I started these girls on 7/10 and I only have one really strong one, this is weird to me because they all came from the same gene of seed ( I have 3 bubblegum feminized plants growing ). Anyways I have a heating pad and then a thin piece of plastic over top of the heating pad and then the clones. I have the clones in peat pellets, and when I took the clippings I stuck them immediately in water and then in to the cloning powder, I clipped the leaves and stuck them in the dome. I’m confused because some are doing good and some not as you can see, but the temp is consistent for the most part, I will not keep the heating pad on all of the time I turn it on and off periodically, I also allow them to breath for 10-15 min, lights are off for about 8 hours. I mist the dome , and will not spray them directly unless they are bone dry, idk if that’s okay to do.
Any ideas?

Looks like you're way too humid. Even cuttings need to breath and 10-15 minutes a day isn't enough. Drill a half dozen 1/4" holes around the bottom of your cover, so they're above the cuts when you invert it. Add holes if necessary, as it's always easy to increase humidity. Good luck.

Thing about clones is they thrive in a consistent environment
Opening and closing domes and peaking in on them is not that kind of environment
Leave the dome in place and hands off for a week and you might be pleased
Okay thank you I’m gonna try that I just gotta get a thermometer in there honestly, what do you recommend with the heating pad ?

I’m gonna cut some holes in the sides and then I’m gonna leave the lid on.. I think tha should do it

Next time you take cuttings. Get room temp water. 1 cup. Take your cut around 3-4 nodes below the top you chose.
place inwater cup.
next cut fourth node leaf off completely and peal the nodes skin off where it’s connected to the leaf. Place back in water for 15-30 sec. then take out and put in hormone (don’t need one but if you have it) and place in your medium. In your case those jiffy pods. Then place in your humidity enclosure
Leave alone completely for 3-5 days before doing anything. I don’t freshen the air. Nothing. But I also use 2 litter bottles cut 1/4 bottom off as a dome. 100% works for me when I take 4-5 at a time. Holds humidity longer. I prefer the green ones. But lately since iv been taking cuts constantly. I’m having strong root structure at 5 days after cut.

Heating pad probably not good in the summer,quit spraying the lid and dont spray the plants.Make the clone want to root.After cutting let sit in water 24 hrs,she'll fill up with water.
Your problem was too wet.Always a next time.Get a tray with proper dome and vents.

They all died :(
Don't give up on cloning this is my set-up crude but effective also I cut on a 45 dip in powder and put the top on then just mist them every other day and stick it right in the veg room 100% rootsIMG_20210602_100351773.jpgIMG_20210708_031322688_HDR.jpgIMG_20210630_161038341.jpgIMG_20210702_101735609.jpgIMG_20210630_161046411.jpg

Thank you, do you use a hormone? And also do you use any sort of heating pad ?

Thank you , I love the set up here looks like good results too ! I’m more than positive I’m havigg by a temperature problem I can’t seem to get it just right for them ,, then I think it’s too wet ! If I let them go for 3 days or so what if they start to wilt over from bein so dry? That’s happened to me so then I will spray or put 1/4 inch water in the bottom of the tray but then I result I think I cause mold or something I just can’t get the “watering” cycle for these little ones down.

This is exactly what I do when I do anything 5 or less. (All I can fit in this little cab).
I have roots showing and bound in 5 days. I’d show my last transplants roots. But I just stuck her in her new home. One of these 2 should be popping roots any day. I don’t don’t even touch the dome till after the humidity is starting to go away. Then I spray the hell out the inside again Sometime I forgot I even have them in there. But by far the most successful iv been. Weird

I think I’m gonna try this method ! Do you take the netting off when it has roots?

It's ok to have water in the bottom just a little
