Aero Cloner Turned off - Clones salvagable or no?

Hey everyone,

its been a long time since ive posted. I have a 5 gallon diy aero cloner that holds seven clones that i just started running. I did something stupid last night. I went in there, unplugged the pump so i could check for root bumps, and left it off. I go back in this morning and they are droopy, i freak out, and then notice that i forgot to plug it in. I have a mother that i can retake clones off of. The bottom under the neopreme pucks are looking like they dried out for real ...

Should i start over or attempt to get roots off the dried clones? The pump was off about 10-13 hours ... lol.

wsd

thank you!

That depends really, How long have they been going? If its only been a couple days, scrap them and start over.

IVe had this happen before and ironically they rooted FASTER, I think its because the cutting was forced into rooting to survive

Just give them time to perk back up... If they don't improve in a day or two I'd take new ones

has anyone else ran into this problem? do you think if i continue, and the clones survive, that the strength and verocity of the plants will be hindered? should i just retake clones?

Mine looked nearly dead, some of the leaf tips were pretty crispy. They were about 2 or 3 days in, but they rooted quick after i turned it back on.

Shit I had no problems with that, they were just as good as any other plants Ive grown, I even kept one as a mother. Don't sweat it, mist them and if they dont pop back up by tonight then scrap em. Personally when i clone i like to use a little b1 as a mist mixed with a little bit of organic dish soap as a wetting agent.
