Help with clones

[drudown11]

Alright I have 4 females that are about 5 weeks into flower, Because i had my veg room full of other plants i couldn't take clones. I moved my other plants into flower therefore making room for some clones.

I took the small tops from the very bottom of the plant and cloned them. I heard bad things about cloning flowering plants, but ive also heard that you can do it, it just takes a little longer to root.

Ive got them in jiffy cubes and i used power clone rooting gel. Theyve been in the humidity dome for about 8 days and i spray them with water and sometimes a very diluted superthrive and ff grow big solution. Theyre still alive but i can notice some of the very bottom leaves yellowing very badly.

Is this normal, and also How long before you think theyll root and be ready to transplant.

This is my second grow so i wouldn't consider myself a total newbie, but cloning is something i have never done before.
Experienced cloner's advice would be helpful.

The first thing is to not spray water or nutes on the clones themselves. Just mist the inside of the dome with properly ph'd water only. The jiffy cubes will hold enough moisture without adding any more. Temperature control is one of the keys to producing good clones. I try to maintain a temperture of about 75 degrees inside of the dome or if in a EZCLONER 75 degree water temperature. I do not know how long it takes for the paticular strain you are cloning but I have seen it take as long as 20-25 days for some to root in jiffy cubes. The main thing is to be longanimous.

so basically your telling me to keep them alive until they root because it could take a while.

isn't keeping them alive until they root the point regardless of how long it takes them to root?!
