I just transplanted one of the larger clones into soil with the sponge medium. Its a pretty large clone so hopefully it will do better off in the soil.

I can't really tell from the photo what that medium is, but i'm near sure it's not rockwool, it's too dark to be rockwool, it could be coco or peat as you say.
It's a pity you cant get a close-up photo. I can't really see your clones.

yep, that bigger clone might survive, sometimes they wilt through stress. but i think those thinner clones are goners. Without knowing what amount of nutrients you gave them, its hard to say if they are going to live. I think they were starved of oxygen. Leave them alone for now, and let the peat dry out a bit. Just open the propagator a few time a day.

Plus, peat will break-up and wreck the pumps in a hydro system. Rockwool is mostly used for clones and seedlings in hydro. I used to use jiffy pellets in soil.

ROCK WOOL BOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Rapid ROOTERS YAH!!!!!!! I love rapid rooters myself. They even have a small amount of nuts in them from what I have learned. I never have to feed them at all while they are rooting.

Some people mist their plants everyday, and foliar feed them once a week. I am not one of these people. Maybe I should try it someday. I misted my plants everyday for my first two crops. To much of a pain in the ass, I thought. You have to mist them when the lights are off, and yaddy, yaddy. I have my system set up to be as Auto as possible. I did think about building a fog system, that would turn on once a day while they were sleeping, but never got around to it. I do know you can over Mist plants though, especially if you water a lot.

Yes, Mr Weed, i got the photos. The clone in the soil looks like it could recover, but those clones in the plastic trays look like they are in muck, the roots are not getting any oxygen, thats why they have turned yellow and wilted. Is there any way you could dry that muck out.
