when using rockwool, you have to make sure about the ph, I forget if it's high or low but rockwool is too much of one of them. How long do you leave the light of for? Plants like dark for rooting. should use 18/6 for clones.
Do you have a ph meter or are you just guessing that's its at 7?
They look healthy now that I looked at them. What browning are you talking about? Are you using any nutes?

If you are cloning in rockwool, all solutions should be 5.5 ph.

if they survive the first night, they should survive for the next two weeks.
did u use a rooting gel?
r u putting a humidity dome over it?
using bottle water might not be good, cuz sometimes bottled water is just tap water.......only in a bottle
