I am fairly new to growing however I am doing well so far. I successfully rooted a couple clones in jiffy pucks in 5 days(the roots were just poking through). I am growing my plants in a soilless/sterile mix, so I thought I would just do my cuttings in the soilless mix. I took 30 cuttings and put them in one of those seed starter trays, filled it with the soilless mix, wet the soil good and cut drainage holes in the bottom of the tray and planted the cuttings. The medium seemed to keep an ideal moisture content however I didn't have a proper humidity dome so the humidity was lower than ideal. it has been 3 days and the cuttings looked sickly(droopy but very green still). I took a few out to see what was going on and noticed there was no sign of root growth and the base of the stems were turning brown. I am baffled as to what went wrong, the only things that I can think of is the foliar spray might have had some b1 and/or trace amounts of organic nuts. Any ideas on what may have gone wrong? Do you think the clones are salvageable?
I also heard somewhere(can't find it on the internets) that if you cut your cuttings right above the node or something like that you will get 2 good cuttings in a couple weeks for every one you took... is this true? how do you do it?
