It’s my first time doing all this

Yup ... I hear you. We all came from "its my first time doing all this." As we have all found out, probably the hard way, every aspect of cultivating these ladies requires patience. Cloning, waiting for mature bud, slow drying and curing ... all of that takes time and patience.
Put it back into that sponge - hopefully nothing got effed when you pulled it out - give it some warmth, some humidity and some gentle 18/6 lighting (CFL's work for clones). Leave it alone in the warm humid environment then see if you can see a new growth tip in 10 more days.
And ... you already gave them some nutes?

Yeah I got nutes from my local hydro shop.. he gave me my first feed.. al do what you say thanks so much for the help... I have them in the dome.. with a led light right across the top

In a dome ... good! Leave said dome in place for many days.
Others have had success misting their clones. Me - not so much. So to provide the humid environment, I'll add a couple of shot glasses of water per clone inside the dome. I also use a heat mat that maintains around 80 F - 82 F inside the dome. The heat just keeps enough humidity. From cuttings, 10 - 14 days I have new vegging clones.
Is that a low wattage LED?

Even if the cutting is wilting ... they could still be revived.
My first kick with the dome was in front of a sunlit window thinking that sunlight would help the clones. Wrong!!
I cut them and got them in the dome early in the morning and stuck them in the window. By the end of that afternoon, all 8 clones wilted because of the heat/light of the spring sun. They all looked like boiled spinach on a Rockwool cube. Moved the dome to my (now) normal cloning spot, used the heat mat (it's a rather cool spot), re-moistened the Rockwool, put a dozen shot glasses of water in, put the dome on, turned the CFL on and just walked away.
Within 48 hours, all 8 of the clones perked right back up. 12 days later, all 8 rooted.
These things are a pretty hearty species.

The main stalk can darken as they produce roots. Your last pic is showing some healthy growth. Looking like it's almost time to transplant 'em.

Oh for sure. Ive had em wilt real bad and then come back too. But i never took em out of the media lol. That certainly helped.

If it wasnt dead before, it is now. I have a strain that takes almost 20 days to root well, and I've had strains that root in 6 days

You're right - they do not like that. The best tools for cloning are time and patience.

Clones like closer to 24 hours of light I believe. I would at least have them at 18/6
