Rooting clones don't need much light. You don't ant them directly under the light until they have rooted successfully. In the case of those small fabric bags I would wait until roots start growing out of them and then put them into larger pots and then under the light. Those also look like you've been keeping them too wet. You also should keep the area, containers, and such clean and sterile as you can introduce bad bacteria which can impede the process of successfully rooted clones. That plastic screen thing your clones are on is covered in crud.

I know this is late but for anyone else that come across this feed and is in the same position, clones need to be kept in a dome with high humidity and ventilation. 24/7 light is ok but not too powerful a small lamp would do the job. Mist them regularly to keep the humidity up but dont drown them to avoid watering the unrooted stems as this will slow the rooting process. Expect it to take 7-14 days.

Depends how you clone then, Aquaponics clones don't need domes.
This one is sitting in the top of an ultrasonic mister (roots just showing) on my windowsill.
And these are in a bucket with a water pump spraying them, no roots at all yet, outside my back door.

Keep us posted i had always heard that if the stems are too moist they will not root properly of fast enough. How long has it tsken to get root on you first plant? Also alot of your leaves seem to be suffering i have found that in the dome you dont get that problem.
