How are my clones looking?

These are 2 different clones, one side is Cheesiel and one side is Pakistan Valley. They survived day one so far so I want to to get everyone's advice and tips. Feel free to ask me any questions as well.

Why are the leaf-tips hacked off like that? What type of environment are they under... CFL, T5/8?

When they root, what kind of environment will they go into?

They look good btw.

Clipping the leaves makes the plants focus on root growth and not top growth. During this phase a plant has no real need for transpiration, which is why you also do not put any nutrients in the water when cloning (plus they can be easily burned). At least that was what I understood, always happen to be corrected when I have bad info.

I cut the leaf tips so they could focus on creating roots...I just have a regular plant light bulb that I got for around $2 ..I keep them in a humidity 80% or above..temps around 65-75 degrees. And I will transplant into rockwool cubes and then into my farm water buckets. ..

Cuttings look good. My only advice is dont use cloning gel or powder. It clogs the manifold and the plant makes its own hormone anyway. So its not necessary. U may see roots in as little as four days.

they look okay to me...
here's my advice....
leave them be...don't open them every day and if you do, make it quick.
It will take a couple of weeks to get roots, so be patient
