Is it time to leave off my clone dome?

[TheStonyRoller]

My cuttings are 8 days old and today I’ve had the dome off for 2 hrs. Should I keep doing this for a few more days or leave it off now?

Also heavily considering a move to my small tent and a cfl. Mostly so the cat doesn’t eat or contaminate them!

My clones answered my question
This is 4 hours domeless...

A Couple wilting, a couple with droopy leaves.
Dome back on! I’ll continue to harden them off for another week and see how they do

Your on the right track. A little more air exposure each day for the next few days until they look good after 6 hours of exposure time. Do they have roots yet?

No roots yet. I had one that looked suspicious two days ago, so I removed it from the dome and dissected. No roots, but fine hairs! Trying to be patient

Takes about 2 weeks for them to be ready to transplant mate.

Personally I have the majority of my clones rooted at 10 days but I believe Super Thrive speeds things up a day or two. As Barney86 mentioned 14 days is quite common. As long as they look nice and green like yours do they are doing fine. It might even take longer than 14 days. That's just a benchmark. Patience is key with clones.

Thanks for the tips! They’re holding up well, and honestly keeping them in the dome will keep my grow closet cooler for a little longer
