how fast is this happening, the yellowing. you need to be monitoring temps, humidity and the temp of the thermal pad that you should have. they are available for cheap at walgreens. just get one thats for your back or some shit. but lack of that is not causing the yellow, yellow happens when the clone is losing its moisture faster than it sprout. make sure your humidity dome is completely sealed

some of those girls looked burned did you have the lights low with out the dome or did it burn when it was still on the mother. slect the best looking shoots from your mom for clones. how warm is it in the dome?

my clones tend to get in worse shape before they root. but they do root out, and then pick up and grow like mad. i dont use a dome or a heating pad though. i have pretty good success rate just spraying them a few times a day

you need to mist them one time a day , one cfl will work, i had a few under 2 cfls last time an they looked like yours
 
4 days... yea they're gonna look like that. Im in my first grow right now and my clones are 8 days old and they finally have perky leaves. just keep the humidity high and definitely spray atleast once a day. takes them 7-14 days to start rooting then from there a couple days before you should start seeing roots(this is what i know from all the research i've done. soon i can speak from experience) hows the rest of you're grow going? check out mine!

no they should not look like that, its shock or you let them in the air for too long. they may root.

when you cut dip them as fast as you can, one daylight 26 watt will be fine a few ins above the dome, let us know if they root

try not to spray the plants directly. just mist the dome a couple times a day and it should be enough moisture. the rockwool does not need watering either, it should hold enough moisture until your roots show through the bottom.

first thing those are very very small clones, try to cut bigger branches. next thing is when you put them in cut them at a 45 angle and make sure they in the cubes very snug for ideal water uptake. third do not over water the cubes. moist is good, you should have to water at least once a day. if they start wilting put the dome on them spray them and the inside of the dome and put them in darkness and they should perk back up.

p.s. the individual plastic wrapped cubes work better for me. keep water a little longer and dont tip over as easy when dry

how are they doing. post some more pics.. i was lucky enough to be successful my first time... i have gotten a lot better only by clipping off bigger sections. it really helps... one of my clones is taller than a clone 2 weeks older than it and i believe its because it was twice as tall when i put it then rockwool
