So I picked up some clones yesterday. I wanted 36. He said he had 50 in a tray he didnt need. Got there and it ended up being 98 in a tray for the price of 36. W00t.
But the D-Bag said they were rooted. They arent. At least not out the sides or bottom of the cubes.
I cut up the cubes and split the 98 into 2 trays with lids.
They look really healthy and a soft tug on the stem tells me they are partially rooted. I only had a couple come out which I threw away.
He said they were cut 8 days ago. After a 2 hour drive I wasnt going to just leave without any.

Sooo. Im no clone guy. What the hell do I do with these things to keep them alive until they pop roots.

1" rockwool is what they are in.
I sprayed them with a light Superthrive mix last night and today. The cubes are still wet so I havent watered again.
They are sitting in a room thats 70-75 always.
It has some florecent in there. about 300watts but not directly on them. Set for 20/4 right now. Im scared my 600watt will cook them. And its HPS anyway.
I have a PH 5.8 mix of GH 1/4tsp of each in a gallon of RO water. Plus some Dutch Root Excelerator. Again I have not watered yet with this.

Ill add pics shortly. They seem healthy but I was really not setup for clone/veg as I go straight to bloom. These arent ready for that though.

help. Pics in a minute.

the clones are looking good so far, and you've got all the right equipment. keep misting the humidity domes whenever they dry out and maybe get that light a little closer, other than that its just a waiting game. I've had clones that rooted within 5 days and I've had some that have taken up to two weeks to root

cool thanks for the encouragement. I have 3 26watt=100w fluorescent up above the hanging one. And then on the hanging one the damn chain wasnt long enough. Ill drop that down. I have another of those 12inch florescents as well I may add.
