This has been the first time that i took some clones from the plants and everything was fine until this morning when they had started to wilt. I took the clones of the main plant for sexing last saturday and until today they were doing great, but this morning i noticed that they had started to wilt so i gave them a watering cause they were due and misted the clones but when i have come back to them they still seemed a bit wilted.
I took the clones and used some rooting gel before planting them in rockwool, they are in a heated proporgator, in which i have raised the rockwool about half an inch off the bottom of the proporgator because i had read somewhere that the clones dont like to much heat to start with just humidity, i am misting them twice a day a nd leaving the lid off the proporgator for a few mins every time i mist, and watering the rockwool once every 2 days, i have 1 11 watt cfl about 6 inches off the top of the proporgator. When i watered the rockwool today i did notice that the rockwool was warm is this normal and the reason for the clones to wilt or is there some other thing i am doing wrong
Thanks

The leaves will collapse and “hit the deck”. After 24 hours the cuttings should be standing erect and the leaves pointing to the light. This is a good sign, the cuttings that don’t stand after 24 hours can be discarded. Be strict with this because weak stragglers are not wanted. Cuttings that don’t stand erect after 24 hours also can allow harmful organisms to gain a footing in the cloning system.
