Get the bag off of them & let them sit without any covering,i used to clone using humidomes until Al B Fuct taught me a faster way,i now only use the humidome for the first 24 hours,then i mist once a day until i see roots comming from the peat plug,then i just water them,the increased humidity of sealed units seems to slow down my clones from forming roots if their getting all they need from the leaves,ive cut my clone root time in half with Al's method.

With humidity that low i'd leave them covered a bit longer,misting just enough to keep the clones from wilting forces the cutting to root much faster,just keep an eye on the cuttings after you uncover them,no matter what they will not die right off,if your not misting them enough they will wilt & can be brought back to full health with a misting.

Temp is very important,keep the cuttings warm,around 80 degrees is perfect.

Length of time till roots are visable all depernds on conditions & technique,when i was strictly using the humidome it took on average of 2 weeks to see roots,sometimes a bit longer,the method i use now in most cases i can see atleast the tap root poking out within 1 week,some clones have an assload of roots sticking out of the plug in a week.

The main thing your 1st time cloning is to keep them alive & healthy looking,if you keep them from wilting you will get them to root,be patient with this clone,then on your next clone you'll have confidence & knowledge,at that time start learning a technique.

Cloning is very easy,just chill,keep them warm,mist them occasionaly & your in there :mrgreen:

Thanks for the info Panhead. I will try Al B Fuct's method. Did he post this method on the forum? What temp range do you consider ideal? Is 90F way to hot? I think I just cooked a batch of Calazar. Do you use a heating pad? I just bought a sunleaves heating pad, but I think it may have been too hot. I am hoping they will bounce back.

Cheers mate :blsmoke:
