I have a question regarding cloning. I had a very healthy mother plant and I used it to clone 8 small plants into a hydroponic system. Its been two days and the small clones are starting to wilt and some look very week. I have a half concentrated solution in my resovoir and i keep the water running all day at a slow drip. The room is a little cold but i have a heater right next to the plant on a low setting. Any ideas of what I could do to make these plants gain some life?

Did you let them root before putting them in the system?

I realize it is possible to maintain a clone straight from cut
but putting them under a dome for a few
days has it's benefits.

If it's too late for that, lighten up on the drip schedule.
You may be suffocating them...set it for a few times a
day and adjust as necessary to keep the RW moist.

Yes, it sounds as of they are too small for the drip right now. I let mine get about 3 or 4 nodes high before putting them on the system. They just are too weak before that and that is what is happening to yours. I would leave them under a dome for a month, making sure they are good and rooted and strong. :mrgreen::peace:

What is the water temperature? That's important. Keep it around 70ish...:peace:
