i used a root stimulator, and theyre in soil. i dont have a humidity dome. will they be ok without the humidity dome? i will wait and see how these go, if they dont work out ill take some more cuttings.

If you are going that route you mught want to mist them alot, under the leafs. Or sit them in a home made Dome. Plants need to eat, no roots no water. Mist the underside.

Put them in a clear tupperware tub & get a lid on it - remove the larger leaves. Mist a couple times daily & remove the lid 3 or 4 times a day. Make sure they don't dry out. Subdued lighting. Oh, and don't forget to cross your fingers too (can't hurt).
Good luck.
Peace

Anything you can rig up is better than open air unless you can aim a humidifier over them or something. Put chopped 2-liter bottles over them, or a bag tent as you suggest, a wide-mouthed jar, a deli tub... something.

what i did in your situation was i took a milk jug and cut off about 1 FIFTH off it off from top down and put saran wrap over it with it taped down and it worked perfectly

Don't worry this is normal the clones droop for the first day or couple of days has long has the clones are green there ok don't worry.make sure that you mist them twice a day don't mist too much set the ph around 5.0/5.5 don't have the ph too high i know some do but you will find that you have far less problems if the ph is lower.but keep checking the ph because it can raise make a litre at a time.keep the grow medium be it soil rockwool cubes moist not too wet.mist the leaves twice a day morning /night and add 1 drop of superthrive per litre spray this on the plants.if you have not used a rooting agent they will take alot longer to take so dont be too disspondent if they are still droopy in a few days time.
