First time cloning, are they dying?

Cloning NL in peat pellets in shallow RO water, misting leaves a few times a day.
They all have similar dark brown patches both under the leaves and on top of some of them, particularly the younger shoots. I didn't dip the clones in any solution before I put them in because I don't have any. I will get some when I can but I'm about to switch the clones' "mother" to budding so I need to make sure at least one of these clones survives so I can keep a plant growing after harvest of the adult one, and from what I hear it's not a good idea to take cuttings while in budding.
So these brown areas, are the clones dying or should I just wait a bit longer?
I took the cuttings just over a week ago.

Just be patient. IMO the clone looks fine. If they haven't died yet you'll probably get roots. Maybe another week... It took me like 14 - 20 days the first couple of times I did it. Then I made an aero cloner. It's literally set and forget. Check after a week and there are roots.

Lol, I just cloned some tomatoes to make sure I was dialed in and got roots in 4 days. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it. They aren't ready to transfer that'll probably be another few days. One of the times I can say I impressed myself, haha.

Thanks man, I'll definitely be making something more appropriate next time I take cuttings, I'll look into this "aero cloner" thing
