Cuttings. Will they perk back up?

I cut these about an hour ago and a couple are pretty slumped over. Will they perk back up?

Clip the excess leaf material off with some scissors, then mist them and leave them in the dark overnight. Next time trim them a little more. They will most likely be fine. They only need a couple of leaves at the crown.

Is 72 degrees warm enough or should I put a heater in the room?

Should be fine. 75 degrees is optimal. If you want the plant to respire and metabolize faster, some people increase the heat into the 80s. Some, even the 90s. 21 Centigrade or 27 Centigrade would be what most people say.

Yeah, way too much leaf mass and the plant is fighting to keep it all hydrated.

So your supposed to cut most of the leaves off?

I leave just the top growth and the next set down which I cut in half

plus I leave them under a humidity done for a few days away from direct light

Your main problem is all clones will slump like that when you first cut them when not using a humidity dome. when I cut down domeless clones in the summer they all fall for a day or so then perk back up. If they don't I toss em. Since there no lid for your bucket next time maybe cut smaller cuts and place a clear cup over them to help. Also like other have said, trim more material off. I see some folks with 10"clones but I don't like doing it.

I cut mine this size, and it really helps with the droopier leaning ones.

not the best looking clones i've ever seen, but shows what people mean about trimming the leaves

..What? No..

how i personally like to cut clones, not enough foliage to make the plant work hard, enough to make it take off like a rocket as soon as it develops roots

Check out chapter 9 in the tutorial in my sig.

There's some bad advice in this thread...Imho

I'm not sure how to find a Sig?

keep ur environment to about 70F and humid as u can afford. cuttings don't need anything more than bright light. don't waste money on cloning gels and powders. the cutting makes its own hormone. aeroponics is the way to propagate efficiently. I don't waste time w soil and propagation.

To answer the thread title, yes they will perk back up.

As long as the cut location remains moist. Cutting leaves takes away energy both collected, and stored.

I once put a flowering male cutting in a bucket of dirt outside. It looked like drooping death. It perked back up, suspended it's flowering, rooted, and continued flowering. It was bagseed too.

I do not have problems with my good genetics, and I do not mess with domes.
