you should clip the first half of your fan leaves off so it can put more energy into root production.

My clones keep dying no matter what I try, I had a humidity dome going in the basement and Im using rockwool cubes. I let the cubes soak in some water with about 3ml of thrive alive red cut my clones with a clean razor so there was two decent leaves and new growth left put in rootech for about 15 seconds and placed in the tray with a little bit of water in the bottom, im using a heating mat in my veg box Rating: 5

try keeping the light at least 12inches away from the cuts. too much light is not good for rooting clones. i use a diy bubbler and keep the light about 16inches away. you could also try putting a sandwich bag over each cut instead of the dome. then take the bags of for a few minutes each day until the don't wilt without the bag on. good luck

I do the sandwich bag thing too when they start looking ruff and it always works. Just mist inside the bag and check and mist a few times a day. I remember having a problem with keeping humidity in any dome in this one cabinet so I had to use the bags on every clone, got to be a little tiring messing with all of those baggies, but I didn't lose a one.
Now I am just using my anti wilt and it is allot less work for right now, MG sells a cheap version called Shine Spray or something and it is supposed to work just as good as anti wilt spray, and for those who don't know, you just spray your cuttings after you place them in what ever medium your going to use, perlite, RW or a rapid rooter, and then spray the leaves all over and it keeps the water inside of the clone and prevents it from folding over like a praying monk. I spray the night I take cuttings and one more time the next morning and that is it until they root. Works for me.
