Hi!! So basically I've been growing for some while now but only starting from rooted cuttings, just grown out two big girls as mothers, White widdow x big bud and a arjan's strawberry haze. This being the first time I've taken cuttings myself I'm pretty sure I've gone wrong somewhere along the line, I soaked Rockwell in ph 5.5 water left 2 days to completely dry. took all the cuttings I needed with razor, 4 nodes on each, cut two nodes off and dropped into plain water whilst taking the rest of the cuttings, then scrapped the bottoms with razor. Dipped in clonex and put into the dry cubes, I then put 4 ml of water and weaakkkk solution into the cubes, not overly wet just moist, and I did not squeeze the cubes. All looked fine and healthy! Left in the dome with a cheap 100w led light misted the dome and the cuttings, heat of 70-80 opened the cupboard today and they're all drooping over near enough on the ground, bottom of the stems seem to be strong still and they are all a nice healthy colour. Really could do with any advice as to save them
New clones drooping!!

do you live in a dry climate, moderate climate, or a very humid climate? I've never used rock wool could be something you missed specific to RW

So, if you leave bigger fan leaves on them, they can't pull enough water through the stem to keep them fed. Trim the bigger leaves down by cutting away about 75% of the leaf. Just leave smaller leaves on the clones.
I'm from the uk, I'd say it's pretty dry here but inside the dome although I have no exact humidity it's definitely high 80% + heats about 70 with the light off and 75 on, don't want to mess with them too much and stress them out but most of them are drooping right to the floor

If there is adequate moisture in your rockwool, it usually it just means that there is too much leaf surface area than the stem can take up.
Unless it has gotten really hot inside the dome

I'm pretty sure it got hot thismorning because of outside temperature change, woke up and it was about 85 so I assume inside was a bit hotter, hopefully I can correct this but I'll post some pics up and see how we go! Thanks for the advice lads
