today i made clones from my mother plant using root tech and soil plugs. the clones range in size from 4 in. to 8 inch. for the first 45 minutes i put them under the of a 600 watt mh. i quickly realized that this was a bad idea so put them under a pair of cfls.
i checked on them about an hour later and they were all very droopy. and are still, about 10 hrs later.
does anyone know what i should do? or if they will be ok?
i do not have a humidity dome.

PLZ PLZ HELP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
thank u!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...it's normal for clones to wilt before they catch on, especially using your technique. Sounds like you need a seedling heating pad also... I personally wouldn't mist the plants, always seemed to make the foilage too heavy for the weak stem to support at this stage.... I would mist the dome and put them ontop of a heating pad....maybe remove the dome 2-3 times daily, misting the dome making very high humidity.

....ever looked into an aerocloner? No rooting hormones, no chemicals needed....simple tap water ph'd around 6....you'll get 100% success every single time. ;)
