I removed my clones from their "Clonebox" 24 hours ago.

They don't seem to be dying quick, but it does look like something is up.

Sorry for taking 3 post to post this, but it will only let me post 4 pics at a time.

The first post has a picture of Exactly when I pulled them out of the clone box, and set them up on auto watering from 3:30pm Yesterday.

the Second post has pictures from 12:38am this morning

The Third post has pictures from 3:10pm this afternoon

What do you guys think?

there dying and probably not going to make it brotha....What was your cloning process ? 7-10 days in a humidome ? did you use a cloning agent clonex etc..) ? cold tempetaures now did you use a heating mat under your dome ?... Giving them a lil air for a few min everyday until the day you pull of the dome to get them aclimated slowly ?...just throwing shit out there bro to see ig you covered everything..

I defineintly would not have a clone on a feeding schedule till she was well rooted.....Only saying that cause I see you got drippers on em..

I'm afraid you will have to start over with your cloning procedures. This typically happens when the water ( or nute solution ) does not maintain capillary action with the open cut. Once this happens, the plant loses rigidity and dies, there is no fix.
To suggest a solution I would need to know more details about your procedure.

14 days in a high humidity box. yes I used a rooting hormone, heat was around 85-93 humidity was 50+

They were all bound together in rockwool during the humid days. Yesterday when I pulled them apart, some roots were coming out of the rockwool on some, on the others i gently pulled to make sure they had rooted. They were plus I could see some roots going into the rockwool when I looked down in the hole their stuck in.

All of them have at least some roots, some of them have roots sticking out of the cubes.

I didn't spray them much yesterday thinking they would try and get water now with their root, and encourage them to try to start growing more at the roots instead of expecting foilage watering. However, I decided at 12 this morning to spray them a little for a few more days.

anything I missed?

Seems like you did everything right. Since they had roots, its a possibility that they were over watered... but im not really sure at all. Sorry about your babes :(

I just ran down and cut off their lights. There is another source of light farther away to get some light, but maybe the heat is making it worse. Their light was about 24 inches above them. I sprayed them again, and will keep doing so for a few days.

Maybe its not too late since not all the leaves are wilting up.

Any more suggestions?

Its real simple ,your trying to make it harder than it is.Only spray your plants three times a day and keep the bottom wet,keep your humidity high by adding a heat mat and keep your temps in the 70s and they will root in under ten days

Sounds exactly like what I am doing, except my temp is higher.

they DID root, that's what has me puzzled

I vote over-watering and high temps and possibly damaged roots when pulling/checking on them.
I would like to see the medium packed tighter around the stem too, making better contact with stem.

"Their light was about 24 inches above them" should be fine assuming your using floros for lighting.

As said before: Water once (only re-water slightly to keep medium moist not soaked). Keep temps in the 70's. Keep cuttings in a humid (80%+) place until roots develop, mist if necessary (not to much). If using a humidity dome to keep humid levels up, make sure you exchange the air a few times a day. (keeps them happy and helps keep mold down.) Give them 18 to 24 hours light that is bright but not intense. (Floros or at the edge of your HID's (diffuse if necessary).) Lastly let them be, don't fuss with them. Give them at least 10days.

I like to use a medium that is somewhat small so I can see the roots coming out the sides. That way I can see when they are ready to come out of the humid area as soon as possible without having to poke around the medium or pulling on the delicate start and her roots.

Follow this and you should have near 100% Some strains are harder than others and some prefer different methods of rooting.

Good luck, have fun
