I trimmed them back yesterday afternoon and switched over to sterile. There still looking a little sad this morning lol. I also switched over to my fluorescent light thinking maybe the LED was too much.It's a rooting solution with IBA-K and NAA. Plant growth regulators. They've received a lot of bad rep because of misuse on the illegal market.
There's a lot of different safe PGR's if used correctly. KLN is strictly for rooting clones. I would switch to chlorine. Here's a dilution calculator Chlorine dilution calculator
Cut a couple bottom branches from your flowering plants and add them to that cloner in case you lose those. Keep it a low light environment. I use a 2 lamp fluorescent a good foot above them. Clones root when they start running out of N (it's mobile) and feel the end approaching. When I trim my girls in week 2-3 of flower I'll leave the extras in a solo cup. They usually root faster than the ones taken from the plant and put directly in the cloner.I trimmed them back yesterday afternoon and switched over to sterile.

my grow cabinet looks a lot better than my clones.

I don’t think rooting hormones (NAA and IBA) are counted as PGRs. In any case they won’t persist once the clone is set to grow.It's a rooting solution with IBA-K and NAA. Plant growth regulators. They've received a lot of bad rep because of misuse on the illegal market.

cool I'll take a bunch more cuts. I didn't know you could take clones at three weeks into flower, I thought two weeks was the cutoff. I had my led dialed back to 14 watts and I think that was still too much. The light I switched to is a two light 24" florescent. I'll see if I can raise it a bit higher, it's almost exactly the same width as the area for my clones.Cut a couple bottom branches from your flowering plants and add them to that cloner in case you lose those.

Sounds like the same light I use for mine 2' HO. I keep them a good foot or more away.cool I'll take a bunch more cuts.

I can only get the transformer up as high as the blue lines so the lights themselves are about 8" off topsSounds like the same light I use for mine 2' HO. I keep them a good foot or more away.
Take the stuff out from under it and lower the shelf?I can only get the transformer up as high as the blue lines so the lights themselves are about 8" off tops
I'm going to have to get the hammer out. This will be fun, I think those cross pieces are holding it all together.

That might be my only option, it's all floppy without the cross pieces holding it together.Take the stuff out from under it and lower the shelf?
I'd try a fluorescent that far away. I think you'll be good.I can only get the transformer up as high as the blue lines so the lights themselves are about 8" off tops

Cool I'll leave it as-is. The last pic I posted of the clones was under the fluorescent light. I was just worried that it was too close.I'd try a fluorescent that far away. I think you'll be good.
Once these clones either live or die I'd like to redo that corner so it's a better location for cloning, maybe aluminium shelving or something like that. That wood is so old and bowed, nothing sits flat on it.@raratt & @curious2garden have great suggestions.
If the shelf is necessary for stability & you decide to remove it simply add a 1"x2" piece for furring both fore & aft sans the shelf.
2-3 weeks in I see. I'd pinch off the flower.I took three more clones yesterday... they're very flowery.

Three weeks to the day.2-3 weeks in I see. I'd pinch off the flower.
PS On the other clones check their stems. You can see if they've gone to mush, if the stems go to mush toss them or trim the stems back to healthy if you have enough length.
Well you have extras in the cloner now hopefully they will get the hint and root.Three weeks to the day.
I pinched off the flowers. None of the other plants seem mushy and there's no odor. The leaves are crispy now.
part of me is thinking I should probably hedge my bets and pick up a few more seeds. I always seem to struggle with things that seem so simple.Well you have extras in the cloner now hopefully they will get the hint and root.
Looks like you have a little black spot or other fungus damage on those leaves. That can really mess with cloning results. I would dip/spray them with an anti-fungal before putting them in the cloner next time. You may want to hit 'em with it now. Cloning can be difficult to get right, but once you have it dialed in for your specific environment, you're golden. Keep at it, young lady.Think they’re dead? Tomorrow will be two weeks since they’ve been cut and no sign of roots. I can’t win with clones lol.

I sprayed them with regalia this morning. I completely forgot, @manfredo also suggested dipping clones. I think I want to just play around with clones that aren't in flower and see if I can figure this out. I also want a better area that isn't up so high that I need a ladder.Looks like you have a little black spot or other fungus damage on those leaves. That can really mess with cloning results.
