Taking new cuttings: Small fan leaves curling up right away

What is the cause of this??

Did you put them under strong lighting right away?

Depends where the cuttings were on the mother plant....

i would say too strong a light too without knowing the exact situation

Light is 2.5 feet away and is like a 40watt veg bulb... There is a stronger light about 4 feet away off to the side (not directly under cuttings). This light is about 200 watts.

cant be the light then, i have had this happen to me before, i would just see how they do, incant see any reason why it should affect them too much from my experiance anyway

Only 3 cuttings did this out of 10 and of the 3 that did this 1 was only semi bad.... I moved the cloner away another foot.

My growing game is an A+, but I have issues with clones... I was getting a 95% clone root rate, now the last 3 cutting cycles its been about 60% root rate 15 days later.

Yeah this time I left the 2 bigger fan leaves on the cuttings and only 1 fan leave has slightly curled up in the 3 of 10...Before this the main flower was turning purple about 1 week into the cuttings... This time I ph downed and added clonex to boost the ppm from 150 (tap water) to 300... Previously I just used tap water and did not ph down, but that was causing the purple flowers on the cuttings after 7 days and they would die off which is why I said clones are only rooting at a 60% rate lately.

i usede to take cuts and do them in a closed heated propagator, but ive just baught a misting clone/seedling unit and i can say it was money well spent for speed of cuttings and strike rate and seedlings germinate in 2 days no problem. a must buy in my opinion. the unit uses a micro misting unit. perfect every time
