Clones wilting

[RandumbDude]

I am a first time grower and these are my first clones.

I cut my first clone 3 days ago, after making the initial cut I immediately put the clipping into PH 6 water and made the final 45° cut underwater, then placing it in root tech Gel and clipping the fan leaves to promote root growth.

it was looking good through day 2 but in day three they are drooping. I originally had them in separate cups until they started wilting then I moved them to prop dome, misted well under 150 watt cfl that is about 1.5-2 feet away.

Clone day 1

This is where I cut from, leaving a node (irrelevant I know, but just trying to give as much info as possible)

Day 3 drooping

Moved to propagation dome

Day 7 thanks for the input, here's a day 7 pic, I trimmed off the lower, larger branches after taking this pic as it seemed that they were struggling to hold then selves up with the extra weight.

That will help just don't remove the whole leaf. You need those Lil sugar warehouses
