Will these clones make it?

Been growing few plants currently in veg still for 2 months..

3 have been rooted for over a week and 1 just transplanted today with a few roots...

They don't look healthy so just curious what other people think.

Also been water cloning with a bit of rooting powder. Takes about 2 weeks to show roots.

They look so bad I am inclined to run out to the barn and take a picture of what clones are suppose to look like right before first transplant. I suggest you take up bowling.

Yes I have a few more going, this time transplanted and keeping domes on.

I'll leave those 4 just in case but I don't think they will bounce back they have healthy white roots just not growing any new growth...

These are another 4 clones I have hope these will do better.

They look much better, much more chance of making it, well done !.
FYI I've just successfully cloned my first plant today after trying for 3 years without result.
I'm f*****g delighted !.
Just plain cloning in water. Spent a lot of money on all kinds of powders & gels, none worked.
:peace:

Congrats mate, I just cone with tap water and rootig powder... I have no issues getting roots to pop but its the plants they just dry up and die. I think the domes will help out this time.

I basically cut clones leave them in water to root and transplant into soil as soon as roots show then leave a dome on to hold moisture in

Might invest in a ezcloner might make things easier. But nothing beats just buying new seeds so much easier lol but more costly. As why im trying to get cloning down pat.

I've got 00s of seeds man, cant stop collecting this or that strain of seeds. Gonna start & pollen collect and try and make my own hybrids for pain relief.:weed:
Best of luck, bro...

Thanks will check that out, cheers..

Best option to let roots fill out abit when water cloning so they can consume enough water/feed through roots when transplanted correct?

Ya, I let them get a little root ball going and find the roots are about 6-8 inches long when I transplant them into hydroton. I dont let them hang out much longer than 3 weeks in the bubble cloner. This way I can avoid the roots getting tangled and intertwined in the res making it difficult to remove them for transplant.

Sorry, was a bit harsh. Cloning is easy and every bit as easy as seeds. You said you started in water and had servicable clones in 2 weeks. At 2 weeks in water your cuttings should be just as green and alive looking as when you first dropped them in the water. I use cheap BBS Promix peat and also throw some in cups of water for backup. Never needed the water babies though as the latest batch below makes me 100% in the peat for the last 7 grows (84+ clones). These all showed at least 1 root in 12 days.

...which will eventually turn into: (Current at 5 weeks F.)
