This is my second attempt cloning. Four types, white widow, blue widow, sour nyd, blue hash
After 48 hours clones are droopy, and wilting.
Process used, 45 degree angle clones cut, cut X at bottom of steam under water, dip in juicy root cloning gel. place in lightly watered Rockwell cub also with rooting gel. Placed in clone dome misted twice a day vents open.
After 48 hours the clones look to be all drooping. Humity and temp are kept around 75-80 for both. On examination of one of the clones, the stem covered in the gell and in the rockwell is black and turning mushy in only 48 hours.
all the clones are dropping because the leaves aren't getting nutrients/water from the stem. because its gone, and the leaves cant support that so they are loosing strength. if you keep them sealed from fresh air with a humidity dome, they dont dry up and lose their moisture so fast. misting the leaves also keeps them hydrated. they have to get water from somewhere. when the leave aren't healthy, this really slows root production down. If what im seeing in that last pic is the root popping out about 2-3 inches, than this is not bad at all for 48 hrs, shit.
I dont think its roots, the stems were cut in an X which leaves that star pattern. the gel has shrunk the stem and made it loose and very flexable is this normal.
That's why I stopped using gel and went back to powder. Seemed stems were blocked from any moisture uptake(has same kind of stem rot you have there). Not even misting and closed dome helped. Went back to rooting powder and have had excellent results since.
