Can these clones be saves or are they dead?

I had 19 clones and killed all but 9 because they were males. They were cut and started to show roots about 14 days in so I put them in dirt. The next day I found them like this. Any ideas?

I had the dome on and thought maybe they got to hot. Because of the pots they were at the top of the dome and maybe got to hot?

Do the plants sense the soil and draining the fan leaves to grow the roots system to it?

Will the plants come out of this or does everyone think they're dead?

I already deleated these from my camera so I have to post them here instead of thumbs....

Those plants are heat stressed. Get a fan on them ASAP. If they need water give it to them ASAP.

Why didn't you sex your plants before cloning?

Try this next time Discount Hydroponics - Anti-Wilt

its vita grow anti wilt. the stuff is awsome. just spray it on and you dont even need a humidity dome. i spray my clones and have the humidity dome on for the first 3 days and thats it. Sold as a concentrate, this product is diluted and sprayed onto the leaves of cuttings or newly transplanted starts. A thin membrane covers the leaves not allowing water to escape, yet letting it breathe. This keeps the plant from wilting and allowing the plant to establish its new roots. Dilution rate is 7-1. Comes in a 4 or 16 oz bottle. Your clones are well within being saved. the leaves havent fallen off and the stems are straight. Looks heat stresed.

Thanks for the immediate replies. I figured since the nodes were still looking good that they would pull through. I think the plants were heat stressed. I should have known better than put the dome on when they almost touched the top. Several of them look better than yesterday but I didn't know if they could make a full recovery.

Jonny, I didn't know that you could determine the sex in preflower until after i took the clones so I had cloned all 7 plants. I ran a thread after reading about preflower sexing and found out that the white hairs at the nodes were female and the small pods were male. Now I know and won't waste my time with the males in the future.

Although using the males to check the root growth of the females puts them to use instead of just pitching them. I'm going to transplant the 3 male clones outside before I try it with any of the females incase i don't do something right i won't waste the females.
