cloneing problem

I took some clone a good few weeks ago now and the leaves are realy dak green lookrealy healthy but the shoot that come's from the middle of the plant whereyou get your new leaveshas gone dry has a bone.This happened to about six inhall they all was realy dry in the middle where the new leavescome from but two off them in the past week have sprouted a nw set of 4 leaves and look realy healthy.Today i wa gonna bin the ones that havent sprouted new leaves but the root system was unreal it was same shape has pot when i turned it upside down sosomething is defo happening what would you suggest that i do?Stain ak47 grown in soil under 250 hps feed vita link a&b the same feed has i feed my hydophonic plants rest of crop are realy doing well i feed 3/4 ml has recomended on instructions.Plants were put in propagation unit for 2 week b4 roots showed out of 2 ince cubes.

A dome with 95% humidity is needed, plus a constant 78 degrees. Don't let root system get crowded.

nice one for quick responce

humidity is they only way your clones drink. If its not humid, they arnt getting fed. I foliar feed 3/4 times daily. 100% clone rate in rockwool. Never had a clone die yet 'knock on wood'.
Besides the fist plant I cloned. It was a male plant, so once all the cuttings took root. I tossed em. I wanted to make sure I could do it before I mothering my perfect moms.

What do use to foliar feed the clones... a root production solution?

You need a rooting solution to dip your cutting in, these have growth hormones in them and help the clone develop roots faster plus some will actually help pull any airbubbles out of the stem if that so occures.. thats why its important to not let a cutting jus sit in th open. I have always used an old aquarium to help keep humidity up, this time I am just leaving them in the closet and misting with distilled water several times a day. this is what bleezy means by foliar feed, mist yourclones with water, use a spray bottle or wot not. remember the only way they are taking in water is through the leaves right now until they root.

Check out the roots on this clone 10 days old male.
No dome under floro light.....misting 2-3 times every 24 hrs.Relative humidity here in Hawaii around 80% though.

Well when the state you live in is like a big dome for humidty I guess its not necessary lol.

I used a cloneing gel clone x they was under a propagator for two week.This is the 1st time i have had a problem like this i always leave in propagation room never had a problem with clones in the room where i keep mothers.After 2wks i take them out and put them under 600 hps. They seem to have picked up since i put the dome over the top of the clones these clones don't need to feed by spraying they have a lovely root system on them there growing down but not up.But i will try propagator again under 600hps.

Sounds like you have it handled, best of luck, will be looking for progress.
