Cuttings just falling over?

What did I do wrong? Is a small T5 floro not enough light? The stupid heating mat won't even make it to 80 and it's been constantly heating all night since I took the cuttings. It was around 78 on it all night. But that should be good. So it's the light right? I see a lot of people with two of these for clones but one T5 I thought should be enough. Can anyone help?

I followed snoofer's illustrated rockwool technique from the FAQ here. Could it be that the temporary top is reflecting some light?

Put some water in the bottom of tank and lift rockwool up on plates or something so they dont soak, but humidity will rise and thats what you need.

ive noticed that my cuttings always droop for a few days before they stand up, i mist with some liquid karma and keep em moist, and paitence helps too! but your t5 ought to work just fine, clones dont need alot of light.

Thank you friends! I love this community.
It turns out it WAS the crappy top I had fashioned out of clear page protectors that came with a binder. I replaced them with seran wrap and a few leaves started to turn to the light finally. So I gave them all a little bend of the stem to help them and crossed my fingers. Whats liquid karma. I used no-wilt/damp-off is that the same?

Peace and thanks
