You did this from cut to soil? No rooting first?High tech cloner. 95% success in 10 days. Place cut in soil and cover.

Yes, we are scraping the stems prior.I'd get a digital humidity gauge and put it in amongst the plants. Your humidity doesn't need to be super duper high. 60-65% is fine. Also, start focusing more on tool sterilization. Bad bacteria can cause low clone rates. Are you scraping the stems prior to treating?
I have used Botone powder to clone twice, into cups of dirt. Worked both times. Did take like 10 days to see new growth again though.
We have a large aeroponics system. It has not been easy by any means. We have used 2 different kinds of rooting hormones.Rooting in aeroponics is supposed to be easy so I suspect your Cubes.
Also if yoy have not tried you can try rooting hormone as well...
If I was in your country i would help you :)
Edit: wont need humidity reader,keep it very moist.
Also: do you cut at 45 degree angle?
I've used promix and cocoloc/promix mix. I always make small clones. Cut all big leaves off so only the growing tip is left. Once a day I remove the baggie and mist the bag not the cut and put it back on. After a week I take the bag off for an hour and put it back on. Next day bag off 2 hours and back on. When I see them starting to grow- usually within ten days the bags are off for good.You did this from cut to soil? No rooting first?
Thank You. This is one we have not tried yet.
It got too hot in the grow room(still building it) so I brought them in the house. It is about 80 degrees where they are at now. They get natural light but not direct light.Clone with 18/6 or 24h light (low intensity!!!) -- I think your problem is the 12/12 lighting
I would stick with the root riot cubes and humidity dome... keep dome on you should be close to or at 100% humidity... what are your temps?
I will get that set up this morning. Thank You.get them under some low powered grow lights... even a fluorescent shop light.... I don't think natural light will cut it and it seems like they're not getting close to 18hours per day...

Nice dog pic :)biggest thing with cuttings from anything is the lighting. they need light, but just a tad.
your plant is growing, you snip a growing bit off. to be honest, they dont even know it for a little bit.
now, you have this bit that doesnt know enough to die. it has everything it needs to live, and will till it uses that up or finds a way to get more stuff to live. the only thing it needs at this point is ROOTS.
your plant just wants to live. she is not worried about her best life, she just wants life at this point.
heres how you make that happen.
cut and put in a glass of water.
sit and trim each one down to two or three leaves and cut them down (cut the tips off). i leave them in the water, but you can do it however.
i dont know about store bought cloners and such, but it should not matter
if i use one of those black trays with a dome (i use a thing the rotisserie chicken came in or the salad bar container), i will add some water to the bottom of the tray, then put a couple marbles in and sit the little cubes (i use bathroom paper dixie cups or mini coffee filters and just cut the little point off and use that) on top of that so when roots come out they are not in the water, but just above the water.
all that is just what i do thinking i can help it out. but i have found i can skip it all and stuff the thing in water and it roots.
this is the important thing... LIGHT
if it gets enough light it splits its job between root forming and leaf growing. if it doesnt get enough it will shut down. you want to hit a spot between that. not enough to grow leaves but enough to grow roots.
so a little light, nothing direct. not in a tent or under a light. put it next to where you hang out or a desk or a table. do that for 3 days.
then do whatever you do normally.
i have moved it to a window, or not, doesnt seem to matter. in 4 or 5 days you will have roots.
now you have to "harden" it for the tent or outside.
i have read a lot on clipping the ends off the leaves and i doubted it at first, and might still doubt it, but the one thing it does for me is - i watch till i see new growth, and any not cut is new. when i dont cut them some leaves grow just like you think, little cute things to big ole leaves... but some *poof* just appear about as big as the big leaves and looking like its been there forever.
the lighting is the key
