Here's the issue. As you've noticed, clones are delicate even after they develop roots.
The solution is to gradually get them used to outside conditions.
Lose the HPS for the first 2 weeks out from under the dome.
When you remove the dome for the first time, do it under WEAK flourescent light. Leave it off only a little while, until you notice the plants looking a little curled, stressed, or wilty.
Mist the inside of the dome (not the plants) lightly and return the dome to the propagation tray.
Repeat this again several hours later.
After a couple days you will notice that the clones take longer to show any signs of wilt.
What has happened is that they now are relying on their new root system for moisture, and have 'learned' how to close their stomata so they don't lose water through the leaves and dry out.
It's worst in winter when the air is dry.

God I love getting information like this.....what else have you got Stinky? Like when should you start nutes? Should I be using superthrives? Give it up!!! :thumbsup:
Weedhound Reviewed by Weedhound on . Clones Drying and Dying upon Transplant..... Your thought requested. Heya everyone need some assistance on this one. I have a number of clones that continue to die upon transplanting. Currrently the clones have been going for 3.5 weeks. They have an extensive established root system. Each has a mass of roots 3+ inches outside of rockwoold plug. All of them are still within their humidomes. The issue is when I take them out of the humidome in the fluro room the leaves turn brown/black and they die. When I transplant them to another room with 2 1000 Rating: 5
