Why are these clones yellowing and shriveling?

Give you a quick run down-

Day 7, been in dome everyday
80 room temp, 75 percent humidity
Used roottech gel and dip n grow liquid
Soaked rapid rooters for 3 days prior
Been sprayed twice a day
Last two days certain leaves are shriveling up and yellowing. Only happening on 6 or 7 of the 20 but still frustrating.
Have been switching from vents open and shut but only started it yesterdyay
Added a very small dose of cal mag yesterday to the spray
Plants seem a little wiltier and less sturdy then previous days
Always been under 60 watt cfl 18/6 light
All fan leaves have been trimmed off or in half the first day
When I put under t5s the first day after cutting the box got too hot and dry and they wilted, put em under cfl and they straightened right up until my new recent problems started two days ago.


Would like to hope just a calcium defficiency

Lol not an acceptable answer for me. Have taken hundreds of clones never had this also normally end up with 100 percent. I've maybe had to throw out 3 cuttings. These go outdoors and I live in a state where I cant just go get clones so each one of these clones is very important to me. Losing one I can deal with. Not 6 out of 20.

I usually hit clones with a very mild kelp foliar spray (kelp4less) when I see them yellowing out a little, which is common right around when they're rooting for me anyways. A spray or two usually brings them out of it.

Did that work or is there an embeded code I can take and paste?

Also I don't ever like taking mine out to check I normally don't till 10th day but I'm about to check for roots in an hour when I get home today is day 7. I actually already have some kelp I will add that to an all water mix and add that to tonights 7 pm spraying

The one that's wilted is just cause it's too tall it's curling from the dome it stands up straight without some and stem is still firm, the white dots on the one leave are just from dripping nutes off of sprayer and didn't wash off till after

I wouldnt be spraying anything with nutes on them or in the rooter plug. Just moisten the plug just so it is damp with straight water. Also, the cuttings are huge. Is there a reason you cut them so big? It can concentrate on making roots easier if it isnt trying to feed the top of the plant thats 11" up. I would suggest taking smaller cuts.

I normally do I like them under 6 inches but I didn't cut these my mother's won't be done for another couple weeks it's 9.5 inches there's 3 of em over 7 inches so they curl in the dome but shouldn't ever water the plugs directly them drying out is what forces them to expand their roots but I've heard of a lot of people using nutes and I haven't added any besides the cal mag yesterday, just in a dollar spray. Looked again just now and leaves the look same humidity is 90 percent I have the vents shut

No roots popping through riot rooters on any of the 21 cuttings on day 8 but they all felt tight like they didn't want to pull out so they're rooting.

-Cut off all yellow leaves, sprayed with just water and and a light dose of kelp, left the vents shut all night and day

-thinking about either going 24 hours dark or moving it under the t5s and taking dome off since they get droopy fast in there but I know you don't need much light for roots not sure why these are being strange, cal mag didn't seem to do anything

If your using a pc you can drag and drop pictures to the text box.

As for the cloning issue I have nothing to add. I also am dealing with yellowing since I moved almost two years ago.

The rooters look dry to me. You keep a layer of water in the bottom of the dome right? Also don't use fluoridated tap water, or any tap water for that matter.
