So long story short..
Spent $120 for some 'elite' cuts. They died..
Spent $100 for some 'elite' cuts. Dude took my $ and ran..
Spent $100 for some 'elite' cuts. They are still alive(almost 5 weeks later) but not doing shit. They took around 2 weeks to root.

Once they rooted I planted them in Solo cups of coco. This is how I do all my plants. Root in cubes, then into solo cups, then into a #1 of coco then into a #5 or #7 of coco. Many, many years doing it this way.
I normally wouldn't give a shit but as you can see I have way too much $ invested to give up on them now. Like I normally do, I feed them full strength nuts from my veg res. But being that this issue has a raised I have switched to just RO water for the time being.

Any help would be great. Maybe a foliar feeding?

I'll take any input(on the issue, not the $ lol. I don't wanna hear it. I'm embarrassed enough)

Why not try a different cloning method? I never even bothered to clone in cubes or cups under a dome. To much work and hassle with low percentage of survival.

I guess if I had to do it again, maybe I'd use my EZclone. It's just lack of room. I have 99.9% success rate with cubes. It was just these that were problematic. I take a lot of clones with 0 issues.

The thing is it's nowhere near failsafe IMO. To much daily work with misting etc brings window for failure.

I just say it's a smart thing to adapt and change your methods when problems occur. But hey man do what works for you!

You’re like me. I love my tiny clones. Over the years I’ve found they root faster, and you get more control over them.

Use something different than EZ cloner, problem solved! I just change the rez and I'm done with it. Just aerated water works with no wilting, discoloration and misting work.

Clones should be perky and praying towards the light. Not struggling for survival IMO.
