This is my first time getting clones from a dispensary. I tried cloning myself but they died...

They are newly cut in rockwool, and no roots. I do not know exactly when they were taken from the mother. I got them and immediately put clonex gel on them, and put the cubes with the gel soaking in fox farms soil in small party plastic cups with holes in bottom. Tomorrow after getting distilled. I will water them. I will use only clonex I guess with the water. I have led lights, and 5000k cfl 4 inches from dome, and 600watt MH that is about 18 inches from the humidity dome lid top.

The temperature inside is reading at 82.6F with 52%Humidity.

Tomorrow I will poor alot of clonex and water in to bring the humidity up.
They are in a dome. And I spray bubble water on the inside.
Light cycle for now is just something easy so for now 24/7 forever on instead of 18/6.

I was wondering. Should I be worried about the humidity not being brought up untill my ride gets here in the morning? Or should I use tap water now?

Also how much should I water them? I know to spray them at least twice a day.

But what is a good foiler spray? MY nutrients are ph perfect AN GROW A B. And revive AN. And I have miracle grow and clonex.

How much should I water them by wicking in the dome? And how much spraying?

THANK YOU EVERYONE.

Humidity is too low and the lights are too close. A 600w should be at least 90-100cm away. In veg, plants don't need a lot of light or food or even water. Sounds like you have planted the Rockwool cubes into soil? This is fine. You need aa prop box or a dome to increase the humidity.

You have too much light for clones. One cfl is enough light for fresh cuttings. If you've watered once u should be good. Just keep misting the inside of the dome a few times a day

think about clones like this, in order for them to put effort into rooting and not growing, you need to supply not too much light

a simple 23w cfl 1 foot away (or more) does the trick

as soon as you see any roots, you can start to get the bulb closer and transplant the clones

if you give it too much light, they grow and die instead of rooting

also temps should be around 70-80 you're running a little hot
humidity shouldn't matter.
if it's really low, use a propagation tray. otherwise misting twice or so a day to keep the clones standing straight will mean they're in the right conditions

i leave the dome off for a while, because it's also important that they get fresh air

they only need to be dipped in the clonex before putting them into the cubes; from there, you just use water

carbonated water is un necessary for spraying, just use water

i always keep lights 24/7 when cloning

why distilled water? i use tap water it works fine, though my tap is at 110 PPM.
i think it's good to use water that has a little something in there, if you're using distilled at least put a 1/16-1/8 dose of base nutes in there
I like tap water though and don't think the plant needs much of anything when rooting; once you see roots is when you worry about nutes

They look very wilted. The humidity is 58%. Temp 78F. I will spray maybe?

UPDATE: Mods so very sorry. I accidentally double posted. Can you please fixed?

First and foremost ........ why would you buy clones with no roots? You are doing their job for them and even gave them money. You can't even get your own clones to root. And you want to pay money to someone else's clones ? Need to do a little more research and practice.

I've never been to a dispensary. Is it normal to buy a clone that hasn't rooted?
I didn't know it was possible, at least not deliberatley. Basically you're paying for a rockwool cube and somebody to grab some clippers and make 1 cut. Hope it wasn't too expensive :)

Find a disp. that sells just clones and seeds, they will know their shit. I go to some disp. and they have a couple lame looking cuttings in solo cups on display and no one knows shit about them, like they don't even want to bother with selling them.

I bought some clones from a "market" and they had hundreds to choose from. They suggested some awesome genetics, including Schrom which as advertised is dank, bushy, hearty and is yielding nicely. The clones were 9", sprayed the day before and when I transplanted them the roots looked good and they took off runnin'.
