I'm sorry bro i was suppose to tell you to cut the clones leaves in half,just the bigger ones

do you have a way of monitoring the humidity inside the dome? What are your ambient temps in the surrounding room like?

This is true. I did not notice the size of leaves on the clones. Trim larger leaves to lower the perspiration.

The rockwool should be wet for new clones. I personally have had poor luck in the past using RW for clones. Anymore I take the cuts and put them in a glass of water much like you would do fresh cut flowers. I crush a Bayer Aspirin and mix in the water before hand. Leave them in the water for 2 or 3 days then transfer them to cups of soil. 1/3 each peat moss, worm castings and perlite. Have a near 100% success rate. No dome or misting needed.....

Remove the dome. At least during the warmest part of the day.

I agree. A very warm and moist environment is more for germing seeds. Clones are plants, and plant need to breath....

i had poor results with rockwool cubes, i switched to rapid rooters and have fresh white roots within in a week, i keep the dome on them for 48 hours after the cut/clone process, then start misting couple times a day, no problems

Cuts put into dirt after a 3 day soak in a cup of water w/some aspirin(salicylic acid/willow extract). Under a 23 watt 2700k cfl about a foot above. Sometimes less is more...keep it simple and follow tried and true methods that have worked for many plants for many, many years......
6 plus hours and no wilt, and I doubt they wilt any at all because they were well hydrated before being put into the dirt.

Probably not at all. Stop the panic attack and pay attention. Take a deep breath and I promise you will be much better off

How strong is the light dood, because what you are or should be trynna do is set conditions for the cuttings to be making new root systems not photosinthisis at this early stage.

Also the light could be causing too much heat and condensation/humidity in the propogator, it's not a heated prop is it? I see it has vents on the top, sliding that open when it is hot/too warm should allow enough hot humid air to escape. Depends again how hot your ambient temps are. hope this helps some, i have had wilted clones many times through different reasons such as i have described above but if you rectify the heat issue and just keep them moist, not wet, they will most likely pull through.

55w Philips Fluorescent Tube (Red Spectrum) is the light
i dont know if it is causing heat but im going to leave the lid off at day and lid on at night

Is that a Temp Gauge in the dome? The Image is blurry so its hard to tell, but it looks like your temps are in the Hi 60's? That could be one of your problems.
