I cant seem to keep my clones alive.

Hey guys. MY situation is that I do not have a clone dome... do I NEED that to clone? im pretty much growing my clones right out of the rockwool and i moisten and mist them twice a day... but they get all droopy and weak. My mother plant is more than a month old. Im pretty clear and confident on which branches to cut... suggestions? thanks guys!

are your clones making roots or dying before they can?

well this is actually my second attempt at cloning. see i dont have a grow shop around here... closest one is about an hour away. The clones are deep green, the way they should be... but they just get weak and droopy

It would help greatly. You need to keep the humidity up. Thats what they're for.

In a pinch....go to the supermarket and buy something day-old from the bakery and use the box/lid it came with for your dome and tray.

I always just cut plastic bottles in half and fill the bottom half with soil,soak the soil real wet and stick the clone in the soil after i have dipped it in cloning gel and then make a smallish cut on either side of the top half of the bottle and push the bottle back on the lower half of the bottle and the seal it back up with some cling film around the middle.

Breathe slowly into the bottle to fill it with co2 and oxygen and then put the lid back on.
Open the bottle once a day and breathe slowly and warmly into it once a day.
Always works for me.

I notice that you in rockwool so i guess you'd just do the same thing but you'd have to add your growing nutes/water into the rockwool in whatever amounts it says to on the bottle for clones.
