Cloning for the first time

[Greenlizard]

Well my first grow is going pretty good. I have now cloned from my plants when I switched them into 12/12.
I took double the clones I needed incase I mess up. Also I did leave a few suckers on my plants as a backup cloning plan.
So I clipped each clone off on a 45 degree angle and then scraped the bottom half inch of the stem. I had them in water while I was doing the work as most seem to suggest. I then dipped them in root powder (I forget the brand I have). I had Jiffy pucks presoaked in ph 6.4 water with a couple drops of Super Thrive added to the mix before pouring it onto the pucks. They are now in a humidity dome and a heating mat. So far they look great but I have no idea how they should look since it's probably too early to tell if it was successful or not. I don't want to disturb them this early trying to pull the Jiffy pucks out to see if there are any roots but being just 5 days in I suspect there are no roots yet anyways. Is the rule of thumb to give them two weeks and then remove the dome? I had the dome off yesterday for about 15 minutes to let them breath a little. I also spray them twice per day. There is a little standing water in the bottom of the tray to increase humidity and if roots do form they will grow down to the water... at least that's the plan.
Any advice? Thanks.

If they die....bad
If they live...good

Lol

I just did my 1st three assss well
They stayed green pretty much, took about a week to see roots pop outa the root riots. I missed the riots mainly but I'm sure a but hit the plant also

Now it took at least two+ weeks to see reveg start, so be patient on that

Good luck

Thanks for the feedback. I took my clones on the same day I switched to 12/12 so will I still have that "reveg" phase regardless due to the nature of clones?

Oh, then no, they never hit flower so that's good , will speed them up a lot

After two or three weeks under the dome, if you just remove it, depending on environment the leaves can sort of dry up and get ugly. You can gradually remove the dome over a couple days by propping up a corner and let the humidity balance with the exterior

Well I planted 6 of the 10 clones. 4 still need time. A couple might not root at all.
I watered them in with 1/4 strength nutes.
They are under T5HO lighting along with the 3 seedlings. The seedlings were thirsty and slightly wilted in the pic.
