I'm in the process of my first cloning right now ... I have read that some strains are very easy to clone, like my Cinderella99s, but others are very difficult .. ?? .. I had 100% luck, just sticking rooting-powdered stems into straight potting soil , but I was told to use 24 hour lights, and mist them with water every few hours, mine wilted right away, but after a good watering and spray, they popped right back ... 4th day now, and they are doing excellent ... maybe you just have one of the more difficult strains ?? :smokin:
