i have this one clone, it is my second attempt at cloning. first time i had a very immature cutting, this time it was on its 4th leaf set, and was becoming a vigorous chute. so i used it as a clone. the rooting hormone is called "rootone" by garden tech. it is a rooting hormone with fungicide. the active ingredients are 1-naphthaleneacetamide 0.20% and Thiram (tetramethyl) thiuramdisulfide. I have it under a CFL. 24 hrs of light, not air circulation except fanning, and i mist it once a day.

clones do not need direct light to root. must keep medium damp, not soaked, and keep em in the 70's range

you need to make a "dome" out of a 2 liter bottle and put it over the clone, they also need higher humitity to root, hope this help's ya, i was banging my head on the wall after i lost 16 my first try, now im almost 100% now

not sure but when a clone wilts isnt it usually because it needs a humidity dome/propogator, you need to keep the relative humidity high for clones, just misting it daily wont be enough

It's not uncommon for a clone to wilt in the first couple days and then perk back up. Some genetics are simply harder to clone. Excessive wilting can indicate over or under watering. Consider building a cheap ass bubble cloner or use rock wool rather than cloning directly in soil.
