Help: Wilting new clones, new grower

[Growingasmile]

Just got these clones Wednesday. It’s now Saturday. Car ride was kinda long when they’re were first cut. Buddy used clonex gel 45 degree shaved end and split middle? I have em in a tent in a dome with heat mat. At 81 f and 80% rh. They are still drooping and I know one is gonna die cause it’s not snug in the rock wool. And tips? We’re using a huge light cause we have nothing else. The 600w LED PAR600t 18 On 6 off

how often are you watering, and how often do you take the hood off to give them some fresh air?

how often are you watering, and how often do you take the hood off to give them some fresh air? I also have a water bottle cap of water in there for more humidity.

I don’t water. Only flick water on the top of the hood. And I give em ait atleast once a day. The vents on the dome are open a little.

85 in your tent maybe going up to the mid 90s in the hood, have you tried putting your thermometer in your hood?
These clones look over watered to me

It is in the hood.

JUst been following everyone’s tips tbhlol. I’m concerned with the low temp and no heat mat idea.

They don’t have any roots yet based on what the OPs described. Please don’t confuse rooting a clone with watering a plant. Two different processes. Until there are roots, the only way the plant can live is by the stem taking in moisture.

if you're not getting below 65F at night that's perfectly fine it wont be 100% optimal but in nature night temps reduce at night as well, below 60 and you're going to slow growth to nearly a halt, best of luck.

7 days will be Wednesday. Should I expect to see roots soon? I know that’s still hella early but if not then maybe like 12 days?

Every variable to do with growing...temp, humidity, light, dark, plant size, plant type, medium, and so on, determines the time it takes for anything to happen.
So when its all working the way the plant likes then its a short time of say 5-10 days...change 1 thing the least little bit and you could make it take longer...so there is no real answer besides have patience...sorry.
But on a general time line for me cuttings usually take 7-14 days to show roots...if that helps any.

Been a week for these cuttlings. Some have bottom leaves starting to turn yellow. Is this good or bad??

 

[Brnwn4]

Bumpppppp. Halp a noobie out please.

 

[Bigjake8]

That's normal in mine just means they're eating

 

[ZebSoames]

And cut those bottom leafs that are yellow off. You'll notice they are all at the bottom of the stalk. They look good so far.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

they go yellow when making roots

I’ve heard that if I cut them off that it will damage the cuttling? Something about it starving.

 

[Guy Cavallero]

Lol....no! Once the leaves go yellow, they're likely not coming back. Remove if you like, I do. The new "top" growth is a direct indicator of what your plants up to, the older leaves are just that.....older leaves.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

the plant eats itself to grow roots , the leaves go yellow , check to see if there are roots , if there is roots make sure you have no heavy food in that res or you will cook them, once you have roots remove bad leaves , remember no heavy food or they will die, also mist the leaves daily

I’ve also read not to mist them... so many misconceptions lol

 

[NuttyProfessor]

i mist mine never any bother , more humidity the better
