Help save my clones!

OK I cloned my plants for the first time and it took a looonnnngg time to root 3 and a half weeks to start showing...Since i have learned what i did wrong, HOWEVER...a few of my clones had and still have very healthy looking white roots about an inch long (5 or 6 roots per plant) but the plant itself has shribbled up and dried up as soon as i took them out of my vermiculite and put them in peat cups. Literally about a half hour after being out of the vermiculite...its been 24 hours and no sign of getting better. I would like to clone again but since NONE worked the first time im not sure if i want to ... Are my clones still alive (cause they have healthy looking roots) or should i just throw them away? and cut my losses

do you have pics? clones can take alot dude b4 they are dead.. belive me i know im going thru it all right now, did you have them in a dome? whats the humidity? fresh clones like lots of humidity from what i understand, until there roots can in take the required amount of water and trace elements, if there saggy but still green and the roots are nice and white, put them in a dome, lots of humidity and they should perk back up.. good luck m8
 
Here are some pics of my babies...050312_2024[00].jpg050312_2024[01].jpg050312_2024[02].jpg050312_2025[00].jpg...since these were taken i have taken your advice and done the best i could do with what i have in making 100% humidity... I moved them to my aquarium full of soil and put plastic wrap over the top, taped to the sides...do you think this is sufficient for now until i get a proper greenhouse dome? if so how long with this be suitable for...Thank you for your reply

idk know about those completely yellow ones, the other 2 might comeback just spray the sarin wrap or super light mist over the plants, as for the aquarium yeah man that will work, i used rubber maid containers with clear polly plastic until i got a dome.. after there in the humidity for about an hour or 2 you should see a differince,

hope it works m8

Hi there,what do you mean you took them out of the vermiculite and transferred to peat-dont disturb the roots when rooted and two of your clone pics have done that because of no humidity-the green ones keep them in the tank and mist them this should save them.
 
I had to take them oiut of the vermiculite because there is no nute in vermiculite...im pretty sure thats why they turned yellow in the first place...Thank you so much for the replies i think is actually working because i can see a difference in a few of them...leaves standing up again...i may have saved em

so clones leaves yellow because the plant is feeding off of the last bit of nutrients and water it has left( in the leave) when my clones start yellowing its a sign that my roots are starting to grow and in a couple days i will see lateral growth. patience is the key. i have since bought an aero cloner for 50 bucks on ebay. it has 8 2 inch sites( i put two clones in each site) i only use tap water no nutes or hormones, and i start seeing roots in 6 days by day 14 roots like crazy and hella long. no dome no misting just cut put in cloner and put timer on 15 on 30 off 15 on and so on. it is awesome. oh and 100% success. before i was cutting say 30 clones and 15 to 20 survive and that was with jiffy pellets and humidity dome . good luck tho
