When I went to bed last night I checked in on the clones and they were drooping badly. I thought to myself "damn, I've done something wrong". Anyway, this morning they had perked up, not quite as crisp as when I cut them, but quite healthy looking all the same. My experience has been if they make it past the first 24hrs then they generally survive.
Until now, I've just cloned with plain water and some rooting gel. This time I followed the instructions on the PBP label and used 7.5ml/gal of grow formula and 15ml/gal of Liquid Karma. So far so good.
I try to keep the soil temp around 80F but the thermostat lets the temps drift between 77 and 81. Generally, I budget 3 weeks for rooting so depending on what I do with the keeper, I'll probably reclone the clones before flowering them.
The clones are in the veg room with the keeper so I keep a paper towel above them to shade them from the 400mh intensity. You can't really see the clones in the pics but I didn't want to lift the dome for the pics. I do ventilate the chamber daily and spritz a little water on the floor of the chamber to maintain good humidity.
