my clones all look dead...

so ive made clones before like a year ago, and i didnt remember exactly my technique for this batch i made about 2 weeks ago. i havent seen a single root, theyve been in the same tent that my veg plants flourish in under 24 hour light. theyve got some leaf curl going on, looking kinda yellow, and i have no idea why they arent surviving. theyre in a freshly purchased domes. ive been spraying them and theyre domes a few times a day, is that too much? the spray has some anti wilt, hygrozyme, and some neem oil cause i was spraying the vegging girls with neem and ive been using the same spray. did they get too much neem or too many nutes? did i maybe not put enough cloning gel on them when i cut em? ive been ph-ing the water but sometimes when the color is already changed due to anti wilt stuff, etc, its hard to tell if its perfect. but maybe it could be a ph problem? sorry to ramble, just trying to show all the info. any tips?

Nice thread. lol I tried to do cuttings in soil. never had any luck. I have fair to good luck with the bubble cloner.

Hey Blunted,,,, it sounds like you have been over zealous with the spraying.... I don't even use cloning gel, I use this other stuff ((plant starter for stimulating root growth and stopping transplant shock))... I have a 95% success rate... My secret is I only spay the foliage on my fresh cut clones for 2/3 days.... then I only spray the dome to keep the humidity up and only use water the whole way through... after I stop spraying the foliage I start feeding each clone small amounts of water to the roots (or where they will be) about 8/12 drops a day ,,just enough to keep the plugs damp ...then after about 8 days they start to show the roots and get transplanted ,,,some take 14 days but they almost all survive and thrive ...
I think you went wrong with too much foliage spraying... they will not grow roots to search for food if they are being feed through the leaves,,, I hope this helped

They probably don't need the dome anymore. After about one week start removing the dome and see if they can support themselves for a little while. If they start to wilt, get the dome back on and spray it they should come back and than try again until they can support themselves.

I dont use a dome at all. The watersprays up from the bottom and the roots go wild. Maybe a little clonex.

Clones that take longer than 2 weeks to show roots can often have diseases from using a non-sterile cutting instrument, or sometimes this can happens when plants come from a mother that was already in flower or too high in nitrogen.

Since clones only ever really to be foliar spreayed with water with a pH of 6.0, anything else you put in them is overkill, killing them.

What clones need is warmth, sterile environment, a little light, low co2/air, and a lot of humidity (which doesn't mean dowsing them with water all the time).
