first time cloning,Clones in dome drooping are they dead?

Lose the hps.
You can root that whole tray with a single CFL.
They're getting way too much light which will cause them to focus on photosynthesis instead of rooting.

then there wont be any air circulation

You definitely need to spread them out though, way too close together.

Yes a t5 or cfl is a better option if he has it.

i dont have it, but for next time, i dont open the dome and leave it like that for like 3-5 days? than water/spray and slightly keep the domes open?

Heat & humidity is best. Less light. I have an SF2000 sitting 18” above the dome dimmed all the way down. That HPS is way too much. Don’t wet the pods too much. Just spray them. Use less. Remove every 3rd I guess. Way too cramped. Just suggestions.

how long till you open the air flow of the done?

One side is open because I have a sensor in there, but I won’t open all the way. At 3 days I will crack 2 vents. Day 3.. the other 2.. bust a crack. And at day 5 I open up the 2 on the top. I’m checking for roots starting day 5 as well. I mix a little great white tonic for the root riot to soak I’m in for about an hour, and I scar the tips and apply clonex before plugging.

Reading through the comments and couldn’t believe it took 20 comments for someone to say this lol. The hps is 100% of your issues, turn it off asap or at least Raise it 4’ to 5’ above the dome..

 

[UpstateRecGrower]

I've learned to soak the cuttings. This...

Hopefully of some help.

I didn't even realize this grow was current at first. Those chunk sticks are chunky. So you went from MC to jacks? What did you use before you first tried MC? I have also used GH in the past. So far happy with Jacks. Mega Crop was good...just want to try different nutes.

Soak the cutting? foliage and all or do you mean just the stem in a cup of water?

hps is 27 inch above the dome, at 250w its quite dim

Thank you guys. Enjoy.

Best method cloning

Less water loss while plants energy is directed to rooting. An answer even I can understand.

It’s too much light, you only need 20 watts of cfl or cheap led. You have 10x that and what that will do is cause the cuttings to metabolize faster, they’ll turn yellow fairly quickly as they’ll basically consume themselves

Doesn’t exactly specify but I’m guessing you’re talking about the whole cutting and not just the stem

Only up to the leaves.

Never tried completely submerged.

 

[Moabfighter]

Those cubes I’ve noticed (I used them a lot) don’t allow for any water drainage really. It’s just a muck swampy blob of coco. No room for roots to form, let alone breathe.
You need to try this again but with rockwool cubes.

Ah ok.. yeah I’ve heard to completely soak them for a short time (15 minutes maybe) when you get unrooted cuts in the mail, wasn’t sure if that’s what you were doing but I didn’t think you’d be able to submerge them overnight like that lol.

I’ve never used them, you can’t squeeze access water out?

Hey bro, how much water do you keep in the bottom of the tray?

I got lazy and put a clone in veg tent for a couple days under LED light. It was doing so well under a cfl lamp. RIP
