I just took the led light away am just using a small lamp will that be ok?
Any ambient light place the light higher up if possible maybe 15+ inches until they get back in shape, and root. mist them, spray the substrate. Keep dome closed to build humidity

I have a led one going across the dome.. it’s a long one end to end
Just mentioning it. I've seen people put their clones 18 inches below a 600 watt HID and wonder why they died. I myself don't use a light for clones. I put them where it's warm and away from direct light.

Just keep the rooters wet, not dripping wet but wet and be patient. Good luck.

I’ve had really good luck with Clone King cloners. They don’t use a dome, and they root out in just about any humidity. I have a T5 that is about 5 ft away. I just take the cutting, dip the 45 degree angle in Clonex gel, and plug it in and forget about it. 10 days later, all is rooted out and ready to transplant. I may get 1 or 2 out of 36 that don’t root. It’s an aeroponic cloner. They get transplanted into solo cups for about 2 weeks, and then into 7 gallon pots for a final home. 6B82DD61-DE34-4DE7-9A2E-D4C1531C811B.jpegE276ED08-0AE1-4092-AC4C-B891F4E4199C.jpegCE3B8D14-4425-499B-AEB2-811614919971.jpeg

We use Berger BM7. It likes to crash on the PH, but we know how to counter it now. It’s such a good draining soil tho. We see about a 1/4 pound per plant dry and market ready cured, and about 1.7 lbs per plant wet and fresh frozen for processors

I used to use a DIY aero-cloner for a few years and loved it - I would get pretty much 100% - occasionally I would lose a couple for whatever reason, but not too often.

Then a grow-bro of mine that I trade genetics with told me about using plugs like the ones you are using and I started using them to save expense because for whatever reason I could never seem to get the cloner clean enough to not lose cuttings and would have to buy new each time - $50 each time adds up.

The way he explained it to me was, take some Clonex Rooting Gel and using a cotton swab push some gel down in the holes in the plugs - making sure the holes went most of the way to the bottom - then swab the cuttings with some more of the gel right before pushing them down in the plug.

Take the amount of Clonex Gel you are going to use out of the container, put it in a separate container, and toss any that is left instead of putting it back into the container it came out of so you don't contaminate your jar/package of rooting gel.

After placing them in the plug, he/we use a small plastic dixie drinking cup from a Dollar Store package and fill the cup with water once a day - pushing down on the plug a little to get the air out of it - and then empty the water out of the cup and continue doing that once a day until roots show with low light.

I have found including Fulvic Acid for a week or so in the mother plant's food seems to make roots show up faster in my clones - I read it online somewhere and tried it .. seems to work.

No dome, no spraying - trim any large leaves back a bit - if the bitches want water they can grow roots - I usually get 100%

Hope you don't mind my 2

peace

I went with the clone king also because my funds were low. Plan was to use that until I could afford a ez clone. I like the clone king so much and have nothing but positive things to say about it that I'll be sticking with it until the end. Plus you can buy any replacement part for it on amazon. Sometimes I use no cloning gel. Just cut and place into the cloner with 5.5 p.h.'d tap water and always get roots
