How did I do Cloning?

I just tried my first attempt at cloning a mommy that I grew. I wanted to keep this strain because it was a very potent and gorgeous strain.

this is what i did:

I took 3-5inch clippings (11 of them) from the one female I had. This female was harvested and put back into veg for 3-4 weeks to grow healthy again before clipping.

clipped the clones at an angle with a razor, dipped in water, dipped in rooting powder. Then I stuck them in soil, watered them and packed the soil down around the cloned stems. Put the 11 clones under florescent lights about 8 niches away from the lights. Lights are goign to be on for 24hrs.

I dont have a humidifier/cover thing to keep them moist, so im going to try and spray them with water a few times a day, and try and keep the soil very moist and packed.

Any thoughts of how I can increase my success at this point?

ok overwatered pal look how drropy they are

cut up some clear juice or pop bottles and put over each one as a dome and mist them rather than water

wen taking the clones next time roughen the sides of wer the roots wil form with rear side of knife to let roots develop better,

shouldnt they be in darkenss at first NO light? and remember th pull test to see if theyv rooted
 
increase your success rates by not spraying them more than maybe once or twice a week not multiple times a day. and yeah dont need to water for awhile because they dont have root systems to drink alot of water so my best advice is leave them alone and pray, some rooting powder or gel would be very beneficial. cloning in soil with no hormones you can expect to lose half of them
 
go to walmart garden center. look for those clear catch trays for pots. trim off the lip... boom you have a dome for the pot.
