Ok so I have 8 clones that I took a week ago and have them in a dome type setting. Question is they all are still green and look healthy but how am I suppose to know if they are still alive or are they dying and just haven't turned color yet? O and I used all proper instructions for this method including using clone powder.

What have you planted them into?
if they look healthy then they probably are, might want to leave them a little longer though.

I use this guide but I put the clones in coco cubes. Around day seven I just pull up the clone/cube and see if there are roots, in not back in they go. It's worked perfectly for me

Green and healthy is a indication of alive, are they in dirt or some type of rooter? wait till roots poke out before planting, I have some strains bust roots in 4 days, I have some og's that take 2 weeks or more. if they aren't wilted and dry, let em go.

Clear is not good. Slide it into an opaque cup. Keep roots out of the light.

I have been cloning in clear plastic cups for years....I have never had any problems

Not saying it cannot be done. I have also...my first grow. Yes, I would think because they soon will be transplanted the net effect would be small BUT it is not recommended as they WILL green and that is not natural for them. So I choose to put my clear cups inside of red ones at a cost of walking around a yard after a party.

I have never had a problem. Saying that I have noticed some greening around the plastic and roots on occasion doesn't really seem to affect them though. Not saying it cant cause problems though

If you have a plant you can't replace just put the clones in a cup of distilled water for 2 weeks on a windowsill with a small wattage cfl on for night, you will get roots, it just takes a bit.
