How bad do these look???

The dome I had orginally put these clones under was awfully short and mashed the tops down a little. This is day 2 from cutting. Do you guys think some of these will survive or should I plan on taking more cuts now that I have a better propogation set up??? Thx for helping a rookie out.

Yes they can survive. Those rooters look too wet. You don't want those constantly dripping wet.

Didn't you already make another post about these clones? You were given multiple solutions in that thread.

You still haven't cleaned that area up.

Give them a couple of days. If they're in a decent environment, they'll probably start perking up a bit.

Cool. I hope so. I put the ones I took the cuts from in the flower room yesterday so they've had 1 dark period. You think I should put them back in the veg side in case I need to take more cuts? Will one dark period have much negative consequence if I were to put them back in veg room?

I just misted and wet the rooters right before the pic. Ive been misting about every 8 hrs but that was the first time I squirted the rooters in 48 hrs. Ive had no water build up in the trays underneath. Does that sound about right? Since the last post I removed the dome that came with it and put a clear tote over them. My question this trip was if the original dome had mashed them to the point to where I should make arrangements to take more cuts. And ya...Still need to clean my room.....sry mom. Lol

I'd just go ahead and put them wherever you are going to keep them until they are rooted.

Cloning is relatively easy with cannabis. IMHO it's one of those things people tend to make needlessly complicated and/or baby cuttings to literal death. That said, I make my own little hydroponic cloners out of plastic coffee containers, cheap neoprene collars in the lid, and a cheap air pump + air stone - because that's the laziest way I've found for me that works near 100% (don't think I've ever had a cutting not root actually) with no real work needed on my part. Don't use a dome or anything that way and don't have to remember to even spray or keep a plug damp.

If it's a cutting I believe you need to keep the humidity at 100% and the way you do this is with a humidity dome so the leaves can absorb water and nutrients through there leaves until they develop roots with the rooting powder/gel

I was talking about possibly moving the moms (not the clones) back into the veg room from the flower room. Leaving them there until I feel like the clones will make it then moving them to the flower room. The next go around I will be cutting clones from these clones. Now I'm kind of considering keeping the ones I took cuts from in veg and keeping them as moms. Sounds like an interesting method you have. I like the idea of lazy/less to do. This is only my second time cloning and the first was 10 years ago so I guess I'm a lil anxious to see some roots coming thru and knowing there gonna make it. Dont want to have to order more seeds.

Oh I think I get what you're saying: You just started 12/12 lighting with the donor plants/moms? If so, I've taken cuttings some weeks into having flipped to 12/12 without issues for the cuttings rooting.

Even if you are a soil grower, making a simple/cheap hydroponic cloner using neoprene collars is great. You don't really even have to wait until they root so much in the cloner; as just wait until you start to see the nodules form where the tissue is starting to turn into roots - and then you can take them out and place into their pot/soil (have it moist but not flooded) and they'll finish rooting just fine without a pause into growing. The cloner just makes the process faster and keeps them as hydrated as they can be without having to worry about dampening off due to the air stone keeping the water oxygenated.

Cool man. I like the sound of the hydroponic cloner. Any time I can shave off the veg cycle is beneficial because Im trying to harvest once a month. So there will be 2 flower rooms with 1 veg room feeding them clones once a month (actually Ill let theveg for whatever half of the flower time comes out be). Gowing in coco/perlite.

day 2? you have to be way way more patient my friend just set and forget for a while i dont even look at the dome for 7 days just mist seal give low light and keep it around 80 degrees i have a 50% success rate thats why i clip 30 at a poip

just curious how many successful harvests under your belt?

You gotta pic of that coffee can? I'm always interested to see other people's inventions.

I don't at this second. But it's simple enough: Something like those Folger's containers + maybe 4 foam collars per lid. Cut out circles for the foam collars. Drill a little hole up top for an airline to go to a little air stone. Wrap it up in poly film or use aluminum ducting tape to lightproof. Fill it up with water about half way and the bursting bubbles keep the rooting end of the cuttings wet.

Edited to add a picture I yoinked from someone else that used some really small foam collars made from foam darts for a nerf gun... Might do that with the next one I make since you can fit so many more into each container that way.

Pretty good idea. I don't do a lot of cuttings at a time so that would prolly work perfect for me. Thanks! :bigjoint:
