Are my clones rooting? or molding?

what is going on there is don't you see the plant loose in the cube . its not sitting tight in the cube . so the plant is sending out roots searching for water . the proper thing to do here is to cut a cube place it around the stem and put a small rubber band on both of them . the roots will come out of both . you can throw it into another container if you like a glass of water example . right now the plant is almost in survival mode it thinks its dyeing from starvation forced to grow roots to live .

It almost looks like some are dampening of at the top of the cube, they also look really wet but it's hard to tell from a pic.

He should have technically squeezed it sealed around the stem to press out the air.

You sure put out a ton of advise to people with like ZERO experience eh.. For someone on his first year and first grow if im not mistaken, you sure have a big head and garbling mouth. Why dont you keep it in your pants a little. Maybe work on your actual XP than your post count XP.

you are just balls deep in this forum like an 11 yr old in a Victoria Secret magazine.

I find that having the dome on and the cubes damp provide lots of moisture but if the cubes are soaking then damping does occur on occasion. I do mist but very sparingly, I also remove the dome every day for a bit just to release some of the excess moisture.

I learned. I'm trying to pass on what I learned. I don't see your point.

If I can grow successfully once, and now I'm doing so again with 2 more plants and have 4 more veg'ing, I think I know what I'm doing. I'm trying to help people through what I have studied and applied. If you think I'm being cocky, you're mistaken.

Ive been keeping an 1/8 to 1/4 inch of water on the bottom of the trey....spraying dome..
I try not to allow any water to sit but keep the cubes moist and maintain a high humidity, it's the leaves that are keeping the plant alive. A lite misting every day or two seems to work best for my set up.

I kept my clones in humidity domes for a few weeks and watered every few days and eventually the leaf tips started to die. So I took them out and just watered daily, no more death or droop and I'm seeing root production daily. I also noticed they root more slowly under 24/0 and I saw roots only after giving 2 days of 20/4.
