Should be 30C. Is it a horticultural heat mat or are you using something else like a heating pad for people? Heating pads get too hot even on low. I tried to use one and it always got too hot.

You're watering your cubes too much. See the 1st page of this thread for info on how to water rw cubes. Dip only a corner of a rw cube in watering solution for a second or so.

Overwatering will cause slow rooting, yellow leaves, floppy leaves etc.
