Would be a good idea if you got to know the search function for this site, and do some research on clones in soil.

Would be a bad idea giving any nutes till well-rooted. (foliar included) The idea is to get the plant to throw-out roots looking for food. If you feed the leaves, roots become less important, and the clones will die as a result.

Humidity is a must, so cover the clones with clear plastic, or a humidity dome without raising the temps. (raise the lights to about double the distance they are now...minimum) Keep on 18/6 lighting schedule till healthy new growth appears, usually within two weeks. Cut largest leaves (which will yellow and rot) in half. This prevents mold and rot, which can travel down the clone. Spraying the plastic (or dome) instead of the clones themselves helps with this, too.

Any more problems, and you should cut-n-paste, then fill out the troubleshooting form as best you can. We'll need more info for better insight to what's going on. (pictures help, too)
