HELP!
I cloned my girls tonight and they are super droopy. I dipped the ends in rooting gel and put them into rapid rooter plugs. They're under a 200 watt HP.

Is it shock?

that's just too much light for them at this point. use a floro to get them crankin' ~

are they in a humidity dome? they will dry out in about 5 seconds unless you keep the humidity really high. so defintely get those babies under a humidity dome of some kind, and start spraying them with plain water every few hours.

also the 200w might be a bit much, clones dont need a lot of light, they aren't growing yet, just popping roots. i would suggest using a flouro instead. if its the only light you have, put it several feet away from the clones.

good luck

Any suggestions on making a humidity dome with stuff around the house?
Will they die if I can't get something till tomorrow night?

:(

you can put them in a tupperware container, and then put saran wrap over it. anything basically to keep them sealed, and the humidity up. I would also suggest spraying them. dont wait until tomorrow, they will continue to wilt and die.

Excellent idea. We've got them in a plastic container with plastic wrap over the top. Sprayed the clones and the container... they're also under a desk lamp, flouro.

Wish us luck and thanks for the help.

What's the air pump for, just oxygen?
You can't just have the plants sticking through the jar?
And the pic is real blurry... are the clones outside the jar and the bottoms inside?

Hey spongebob420,

Your immediate problem is too much light. In addition to this you want to have your RH up between 80%-100% which is the reason your being told to use a dome.

Your need to keep the clones about 4 to 5 feet from that hps. the HID is too intense for the clones at this stage. You also want to change out the water in those cups about every 2 days. the purpose of the air pump is to agitate the surface area of the water in the jar, this maintains the o2 levels in the jar. If you dont use a pump (which is not necessary) then you need to change your water frequently.
