Here are some pics of my clones that i took from mommy 3 days ago.
I started out by leaching and then misting every morning for 3 days to get all of the Nitrogen out and boost the carbs to help with rooting and placed them under 1 42w CFL. I understand that there is going to be some wilting for the first 2 or 3 days and if it persists for more then a week then i should think about discarding the ones that dont recoupe,but what im not to sure about is weather or not the stems should be contorting the way they are.

Same thing happened to me. Are you using any cloning solution? I use Olivia's Cloning Solution and my clones did the same thing. They rooted fine too

i didnt use any cloning solution, all i didi was take the cuttings..placed them in water to make sure that a bubble dont lodge in there and shaved a bit off the sides to make more room for roots to grow out of and then i put it in rooting gel to get nice and coated and then put it in the medium to root. should i have put the clones in some kinda rooting solution b4 putting on the gel?.and will they now not root cause i didint ?..lol..

They will be good to go if you used rooting gel. What kinda rooting gel did you use? I used rootech cloning gel

Than I guess that is what caused the stem curving. The same thing happened to mine and I thought it was the olivia's. It looks like it was the rootech. If you lightly tug on the stem of the clone in a week or two you will be able to feel if it has rooted or not. If it rooted it will be stuck in there and there will be resistance. If not that they haven't rooted yet

Hey guys do clones take the same amount of flowering time as the mother? she was from seed, grown in a bubbler bucket (DWC) and the clones will be in bubblers as well

Yes a clone from the mother has the exact same genetics and will grow exactly the same as the mother

I tried that stuff and all my cuttings died. Not sure if the greenlight killed them or something else I might have done. But I dont use it anymore.

I don't see how it could hurt... Maybe try it on one or two cutting just to be sure
