Everything looks/sounds pretty normal. I wouldn't worry too much about the droopy ones, I've had clones that drooped in lower humidity that perked back up when the humidity got higher after I closed the vents or misted them with water.
In general with clones, no news is good news for the first week or so. They should mostly just look like nothing is changing until you can see roots out the bottom but I would not expect them sooner than 10 days at least and there's not really much you can do until then.

Here's a 8 site i built maybe ten days ago. I like even numbers and also got some smaller 16 sites for smaller cuts. Homemade plugs lol!
Roots starting to sprout in usually 7-10 days. Sativa's are a couple of days faster, think Kali mist started to show nubs in 5 days. I'm gonna check my cuttings I left for fun in one of my watering wessels, I think they also gonna root.
One big advantage of water cloning is that it's easier to take big cuts.

Sometimes I use those glass starbucks cups from the coffee things. Works pretty good for larger cuttings..
I try to save power where I can so I do the cube thing but latey switched to pure coco.. Most the time dome comes off in 3-5 days roots in 7-10..
Then into cups or something else to transition..
@Tangerine_ your roots are seemingly large and abundantly fuzzy. Can you fill me in please?
Is that the strain or are you doing magic? I am not doing something correctly. Don't want to highjack the thread...

No magic, lol. Just a basic 1,2,3 like everyone else. I try to prep the moms a day or two before I take cuttings with a foliar of aloe and/or kelp.
I presoak the rockwool over night in a mild nutrient solution ph'd to 5.5.
And I leave the cuts in a cup of RO water overnight to get them really well hydrated before I make a new cut with a clean blade. Dip and place in the RW, then spray the dome, cover and place under dim light for a week or so.
Those clones above were dipped in Azos. I use this ->Xtreme Gardening Azos 6 oz (12/Cs) – Simply Hydroponics when I have it on hand but its a little pricey so I normally just use Dip N Grow.
I also just started using these round rockwool plugs with the slit. Grodan MacroPlug Round w/ Slit (50/Bag) (35 Bags/Cs) – Simply Hydroponics
Look at the difference in root growth.

I think the round ones offer a better water to air exchange.
They look good. A little longer than I normally cut them but I think those will root fine for ya. I've found the longer cuts struggle to remain hydrated.

Good to know you're using the Azos. I use it also. It's great but not getting crazy alien roots like yours.
Was wondering if you had cut the slits in those after I saw the first photo thanks for the link..
Going to make some changes with the coco thing I've been doing and see what happens and If nothing, going to try those round ones.
You mention the smaller cuts vs larger cuts. Are yours going to the base of the rockwool or sitting somewhere in the middle? I can't tell from the picture but looks like in the middle. Sorry for so many questions and sorry to the OP for the highjack

It hard to see with the shadows, but I poke them in all the way to the bottom until I can feel the stem about to poke thru.

If you dint mind what nutrients you use and how many ml per gallonNo magic, lol. Just a basic 1,2,3 like everyone else. I try to prep the moms a day or two before I take cuttings with a foliar of aloe and/or kelp.

Right now I'm using Clonex at 1tsp/5ml per gallon of RO water. The pH usually comes out to right around 5.5 without needing any additional pH Up or Down. I've also used RX Green Solutions (before the got greedy and doubled their prices)
I normally just use whatever veg nutes I have on hand. I keep the ppms low...no more than 200ppms. Too much will inhibit root growth.
