Cloning,..Need advice for a foliar substitute, Please!

I need a little help and I'm running out of time.

Short Version: What can I use as a foliar spray just temporarily for a few days?

But if you insist on wondering the Reason Why...
Order some foliar spray two weeks ago. Started my clones about four days ago thinking I'd have it in time, but my order was lost. They're sending me another order but the tips on one of my little girls is starting to dry out and die. Is there any subtitue I can use for the Clones? I have some Super Thrive, Root Hormone, Bloom, Grow, and Micro (pre mixed packets). Unfortunate for me that there are no garden supply stores around here except for lowes and they have jack shit! So it's been all Internet power for me, and it finally caught up with me. Foliar Spray should be here in a few days, doubt the one will make it that long though. Give me a little help, Please!!! Strain is Kali Mist. Hard I know for a newbie, but I'm a quick learner who doesn't like to fail.

I just use water all the time! Water and a lil super thrive would work.

I usually just use distilled water, but as Dirtfree said a drop of Superthrive (or of the root hormone you listed perhaps) would work great. Check the directions for the root hormone, I have one that is a concentrated foiler spray.

How are you cloning? Personally I'd just use distilled water, I've got a bubbler and most batches I don't bother with any foiler spray.

Just plain water is fine. A lot of people use Superthrive but I have had almost 100% success without anything but I have seen the Superthrive keep the wilting and shock down as compared to when I don't use it. I've been using a DIY aero cloner so I don't even use a humidity dome now. I still love the rapid rooters though, I think they clone the quickest and can let them root longer without adding any nutes in case I don't have space in the flower room right away.

Ok, cool. Didn't want to just experiment. gonna try the drop of thrive as the one is already wilting... Unless that means its already a goner, but I'll still give it a go. Thanks to all for a quick reply. I'm learning alot here from you guys by just reading everyone's posts and replies.

It's not uncommon for them to wilt bad, they are just showing their stress. Do you keep them in the dark for the first day or did you put lights on them right away? The first time I cloned I thought they all were goners but I had 100% success and I'm sure I did some things wrong. It's more forgiving than people think it's going to be. Once you see these girls survive, you'll see what I mean.

Last batch i cloned I didnt use any root hormore, too stoned couldnt find it. 11 out of 12 made it. The trick is to keep them MOIST! Not wet and definetly not dry, but moist. I use a spray bottle twice a day. Another trick Ive found is put a layer of hydroton around your RW cubes. Roots dont like to grow in the light. But the cube will stay dark and moist longer, witch means you will see roots faster. Hope this helps. Alot of people have alot of tricks. I like to keep it simple.
