Should I try again?

[Gquebed]

My first attempt at clones... with a bubble cloner. They've been going 12 days now, with an ambient temp of 77f, water temp at 74/75f, humidity at the tops 40%. Those vitals have been constant the whole time. The 4' T% light is about 26" inches above and only has two bulbs going.

The white nubs started showing at gay 8. Not much has changed since.

The water has been changed twice. First batch was 50/50 mix of tap water and RO, then the next was just tap water and the last change was to tap water pH'd to 6.0, which took a lot of pH down. I thought since the nubs were starting the water should be pH'd to 6.0 for the roots, but....

Anyway...how bad do they look? Should I start again and cut another batch?

At gay 8? Lol. Sometimes they take up to 3 weeks. They look ok. Good luck!!

Their ready to go, do not sweat it, once the nubs are there long roots reaching into the water is close. I have taken 3 weeks for nubs.I have had clones with long
Roots in 12 days. I just use plain water until the roots start. Then I add some food
To grow more leaf and they always explode.

Well... i look at the poor things and wonder if they can survive however long it takes to get the roots long enough to putnin soil...lol

i buy ro water for my bubble cloner and i change the water every 2 weeks when in use I've never had an issue for food and I've never had problems with old water i just ignore it lol

No ..in my opinion, just keep to your ro water instead of the tap water, keep it steady in temps which you have done, but messed up in the water selection,
I always stick to my ro, with 0.00 ppm and a neutral ph, and change only every 5 days

Tap water is better than ro for cloning. Ro water is more susceptible to have slime growing. Tap water doesn't. Your temps are too high. Throw some frozen water bottles in there. Foliar feed too.

Can i use my two part veg mix.... at say a 1/3 strength. Or is there something special i need for foliar feeding?

You should cut those leaves in half, the plant needs to focus energy on the roots. Also humidity should be 90-100 percent during the first couple days of rooting.

So i finally planted the clones.... 10 of them...

The roots were varied in size.....anywhere from 3" to 1/2" in length.

Wondering if thise 1/2" ones have a chance at surviving... what canbi do to help them along?
