plants 2 days ago but they seem to be
dying fast pics below, any ideas in what im doing wrong?

Yeah you should have used a dome from day 1, they probably wouldnt be dropping like that, just keep the dome on, remove it once a day for fresh air, and make sure the rockwool cubes dont dry out. You want them wet but not soaked , just make sure they arent sitting in any residual water, they should perk up

 

[Doalude]

Are you using a heat mat? Keeping the tray that the rockwool are on warm makes a huge difference I've found. 70-80 degrees is perfect just watch they don't dry out.

your RW cubes look dry. otherwise they look like clones to me.

update whats going on with these?

 

[smppro]

They look like they have perked up to me, just keep doing what you are doing now

They are still standing nice and straight-this is good. keep those cubes wet like the other guy said, I let one of mine dry a bit too much and it looked like some of yours. Need 100% humidity so use a dome and spray often. I like to spray under the leaves about 3-4 times a day for the first week at least.

cool thanks for the input guys

I actually never spray the clones with water, just the dome once or twice a day, mine seem just as happy if not happier, but thats just me. You dont have to have 100% humidity but it definitely doesnt hurt at all

i dont spray or use a dome. but i have a shoebox bubble cloner too. i just fill it with water, add a little h2o2 because the water stays pretty warm, throw in the cuts, and forget about it.

u need to keep your clones with a dome or something because your clones have no root so their feeding throught the leaves and they need to be moist at all times but not drenched and you need to mist them a few times a day but you have to keep them warm and moist and the medium a little damp as well.

no.....if you constantly feed them through thier leaves why would they need to root? i NEVER mist my clones.

this is before i got the neoprenes..i just used milk caps split down the side.

no how the fuck are u gonna feed through the roots and the clones have no roots, before the roots appear they feed through the leaves to develop roots, once the roots form they start to feed through them.

did i say anything about feeding them through thier roots? no, i didnt. because cuttings feed off stored sugars to start growing roots, all they need is water. thats why you only use water untill you see roots.

water gets absorbed through the cut you made on the clone if you made the 45 degree angle cut right.

The 45 degree cut is for more surface area to root and so the plant it was taken from stays healthier.
