Drooping clones

Just cut some clones because an air layer went wrong and the whole branch fell off.

I cut back as much as I could and yet after a few hours ive still got drooping clones. Will they perk up? I don't really know what im doing wrong here. I hope they root.

As long as they are in some sort of enclosure they should perk up after a few days. Lower light levels and no warmer than 75 they should be OK. Open them up for fresh air twice a day and I spray the insides of the dome rather than the clones themselves to help prevent damping off.

:peace:

Thanks! Im gonna give the humidity dome below a clean and do as you said. Fingers crossed! These are pineapple express - if you happen to give a fuck (Chris Jones reference)

Until clones are rooted keep the light levels lower too so they aren't trying to grow so much as they are trying to produce roots. Off to the side under grow lights or just a 23W 6400K CFL 6" above them is lots of light for cuttings. Expect lower leaves to yellow some as the cuttings draw on reserves to stay alive until roots grow and they can get their nutes the old-fashioned way.

Good luck!

Thanks! Ive got them in a shady park of the window sill, humidity dome closed at the moment. Still drooping at the moment!

Make sure they are getting at least 18 hours of light every day. Might have to use a CFL or something to extend the hours of light to 18. I think we are getting about 15 hours now but I'm up around the 60th parallel so we have longer days here.

I've had them stay droopy for a couple of weeks until the roots started and then they stand right up so don't worry too much yet. Just make sure to ventilate them a couple times a day and give a few squirts of water in the dome each time to keep the RH high and they should be OK.
