Drooping clones -- NEED advice!
...not sure if this will help, but it worked for me, and it might help you:
There is a chance that their state is due to a nute deficiency, but you have to be über-careful about giving little ones any nutrients at all... Some say that Sup3rThr!v3 [or some of its knockoffs] can help an ailing plant (I am one of 'em--they're vitamins, not nutes), but there are many who would disagree with me. I would ask some of the more experienced around here for their expert opinion on this matter.
buuuuut... here's the fix that recently worked for me in my similar situation:
I had six lovely clones (ironically also WW) that I had recently taken from their dear mother, and tho they were standing up ok in my homemade bubble cloner, I put 'em in the direct sunshine before they were ready, and they flopped right down. Weirdest 'wilt' I'd ever seen, because they were still fiercely green, and obviously moist.
I was worrying that I had overstressed 'em, and that I'd have to stake 'em up or something, and then I had an idea. One that couldn't possibly hurt...
I bored a hole in the centre top of my bubblecloner dome (a cake lid from the bakery @ work), and stuck in about a foot-and-a-half of 1/8" tubing. I then spent the next ten minutes or so slowly exhaling into the tubing, and left 'em on the windowsill (in indirect sun).
Within about a half hour, they sprang right up! I kept up breathing into 'em whenever I'd pass by (at least three times a day), and they started showing new growth quite quickly, as well as building the thickest little trunks I've ever seen on a new clone.
They've rooted quite nicely now, after only about 9-10 days, and they're going into hydro tomorry. I'm taking another six or eight babies from mommy as well, and those that won't fit in the bubble cloner will be in their own dome in soil cups... but they're all getting all the cheapie-CO2 enhancement from my lungs that I can give 'em.
Hope this helps! Try to exhale right to the end of your lungs to get the max CO2 levels you can generate
