PLEASE HELP (clones in ezcloner)

ok well I took a bunch of cuts last night and dipped them in clonex gel and then in the plugs.. I get home now and it looks like 3 of them are (dehydrated?) basically they look dead. :/ the water temp is about 77-79F Ph is at 7.0-7.5 and the temp inside cabbie is 75F

here is a pic...

please help

thanks alot guys.

Looks like u may have not cut enough leaves
there should be like 2 leaves to support the clone
all those leaves r requiring to much energy to stay alive

also u may want to try a dome

what do you mean I did not cut enough leaves?? those are the nodes I had lol

It looks like u have about 4 or 5 leaves per clone

hmmm is that why the ones in the back are doing much better?

Your pH is too high.

i dont think they r doin much better,just a lil more sturdy cuz they're bigger
and ph is for nutrient uptake...without roots there is no uptake,so i dont thinkk that matters

when you do clones it helps to cut the tips off all of the fan leafs

What he said ....this reduces transpiration which is y u dont want too many leaves

I have always kept my cuttings down to about half the length of what your larger ones are. No more than about 6 Inches tall (when I cut). I take about an inch or so and use that as the rooting base. The rest is above the plug..or neoprene in your case. If you gently scrape away the outside cells of the area you want to root, then split your stem in half down the middle (about a half inch, like a Y). This will help to expose the cambium, and then dip them in your gel or what have you. This allows for more surface area for roots to form from.

As far as your current clones go...

Indeed get a humidity dome...they want about 90% humidity right now. I am not sure about the PH...but better safe than sorry right? I would take it down to about 7.0 - 6.5 just in case. What happens when they get roots and your PH is at 7.5? Just my .02 on that one.

What is your humidity at anyway? I noticed you never mentioned it above.

Ph is just for nutrient uptake,so when u get roots it dont matter since there is no nutes in the water....thats y the leaves start to yellow....
thats when u transplant with ph balance,for nute uptake
