It puts the dome on the clone or else it gets the taco again.

Yeah. That’s what I’ve noticed. But damn it’s been about 2 weeks. How much longer I gotta wait for these bastards? They have been pulling that shit for a few days now.It puts the dome on the clone or else it gets the taco again.
And they curl upward like fold into themselves.

Yea, humidity. Too much foliage and too little roots most likely.

Fuck these things are taking so long. Guess I gotta wait it out. At least they are still alive after 2 weeks though. Hopefully by this weekend I see roots out the bottom.
Next cloning in just gonna use a bubble cloner and no dome I heard is the best for those ones. Quick roots too.

I've always had problems cloning till I got my ez cloners. super easy and usually takes little over week for nice roots to pop.

I waited three weeks in total and now all of my clones have been turned into begging healthy plants patience is key with clones I found just leave them and check back in a while

Hi Skoal
for what it's worth...I don't bother even looking for roots. I put cuttings into rockwool or peat pucks...whatever's handy. Then by the time they can go domeless, I plant them into a solo cup of coco. Helps keep the rockwool more moisture stable. I run 40+ humidity and can take the dome off in three days.
I say just pretend you saw roots and go ahead and do whatever you were going to do with them.

PS Tacoing is an indication of low humidity but for a clone...if the dome removal doesn't cause wilting...you're ok. Just try to raise RH around them. Pans of water, spray, wet towels...whatever.

Well I transplanted them a few days ago. And one wilted real bad after. But they did have roots. Soil was bone dry.
So I got two clones living in solo cups now.
They chilling in my main tent now. They look a lot better today. But I haven’t taken a pic

Is it bad? Some people suggest it until roots are established, what do you think?

Yes I feel it is bad...which is why I do things the way I do. 2 weeks at 100% humidity is a recipe for stem rot and fungal infections. Plants like to breathe free...not remain stifled in a damn dome.
The plants have to be stressed a bit to motivate them. I just choose to do it early on to get them out of the dome asap.
