What can I do to keep these clones alive?

Hi guys, I took some small clones from two of my plants, these are the first clones I've ever taken of MJ. It's been 3-4 days and they are looking a bit droopy still. Is everything OK? I just want to make sure I'm not killing them. Should I have cut off more leaf? I did use clonex on them, and the dome they are in is very humid. I spray them as often as I can, usually daily. They are also under my HPS with the main plants which is keeping them warm (its far away, they aren't getting that much light). Room temperature is stays around 24-27C, but it's probably warmer in the dome itself.







Advice appreciated, I want to try my best to keep them alive!

They're green which means that rooting is still very possible. In the future, I would suggest putting your clones under 6500k spectrum fluorescent light. Also, be sure to soak your rockwool cubes for at least a 24 hours before adding your cuttings and keep them damp but not saturated. I would also ease up on spraying them. As long as there is dew on the inside of your dome you don't need to spray.

The sag is due to an unhealthy mother plant. The yellowing is due to overwatering.

Thank you for the advice kountdown. Buds, the mother plant is not unhealthy, the sag is because they are young cuttings with no roots! And there is no yellowing, they are very very green.

that one in the top right of pic looks like it is starting to rot.. you say they are in room with hps, is this the flower room? and what light schedule are they on.

Yeah they are on 24 hour light at 300w. I have a fair bit of experience with cuttings with other plants but none with rockwool and MJ. I think you might be right about one of them starting to die, it's probably because I had the cubes sitting in water. I'm not really sure how they work so this is how I left it. I've tipped all the water out now, hopefully two clones (one of each strain) will survive.

Should I move the propagator away from the HPS? I have another shelf and a 23W blue CFL I could set up for now, if the light is a problem.
