Rooted Clones put into soil, wilting & dying

Been having issues cloning my chocolope kush. Never had this much problem cloning before this strain. I put them in my cloning machine and once they start showing good root growth I put them into solo cups of soil and then cover them in a dome. EVERY one I have done this way, will be completely fallen over and wilted within a day. PUtting all that time into getting them to root in my cloner only to have them die SUCKS.

Any thoughts on this? Wonder why I am only having issues with this one strain. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Some strains are just like that. It may not even be the strain but that specific plant. Some are super easy to clone and grow... others need to be babied.

I would maybe try waiting til they show some good roots like you're doing... , plant them in the solo cup (make sure it has drainage holes) but instead of putting them in a dome, just let them get air. As long as they have roots, that should be their primary source of water intake. Dont over water them, either. Maybe the dome is too humid and suffocating them? I dont know man. I'm sure with some experimentation you'll figure something out.

its the cover up.. take the tops off and let them breath .. lol after roots show and you plant the roots do all the work until the plant is stable then the leaves will start to intake what it needs, but uncover the clones and make sure the soil dries out before watering.. clones need a lot of o2 for the roots to survive ..
