before i moved to an ez-cloner, i always dunked the rapid rooter or whatever you are using into ph'd water everyday... squeeze them softly in the water a few times to make sure you get plenty of moisture throughout the whole rapid rooter. just dunking them and pulling them out will just keep the outside of it wet, your focus is to keep moisture inside

make sure you spray the dome twice a day with water aswell... a heat pad under the tray to keep temps up doesn't hurt either

what did you use as a medium cant tell if its rockwool or rapid rooters?
whats the temp in the dome?

I had a problem w. the dome sealing on mine and went back to the shorter dome top and a heat pad. The heat pad helped alot.

i keep the dome's vent closed until i see roots,yeah i open the dome once in a while for fresh air,and before i close the dome again i spray it with water (the dome not clones)

also have a heatpad on low settings..

rooting took 1-2weeks some cloned faster then others..

the clones from flowering plants can take up to 3+ weeks.

if you keep your humidity up you dont have to really water them everyday,though u shouldnt..

when they start rooting is when they demand water.
 
Maybe your light are too intense? Clones like it dim. A 23W CFL works for me. Also, I use red (2700K) CFL because I've read roots form quicker (don't know if this is true). But too intense light killed my first attempt.

the best thing to have when planting seeds AND taking clones is patience. dont worry bro. if you treat em right and give em everything they need and just wait, they'll perk up, take root, and grow into big beautiful ladies. happy growing and as always, stay smokey :leaf:

They may. Some might pull through. For sure slowed them down though if you used nutes before they had root system esablished and ready.
