My clones are in bad shape!

[MaverickNEA]

Need some advice with my clones. Pretty sure these ones are garbage. The temp in my dome is 25c. The humidity is 99%. I think my little pods I have them in were too wet? Or did I cut to small? They just looked like they melted. I'm using root farm cloning gel. Humidity to high?

have u got a dome on them?

 

[Moe.Red]

Humidity to high?

Yes I think so.

Are you actually getting any roots growing or is this a slow death?

 

[MaverickNEA]

Yup there's a dome on it. Just took it off for the photo. I took these clones three days ago. They were doing OK but went bad.

 

[jadins_journey]

excessive light and humidity would be my guess

Sometimes they will wilt like that the first day and stand back up the next day.

 

[Brettdawg]

Id say to much light then if u av got the dome on top.

What's the best type of water to mist them? Distilled? Ph'd tap water? RO?

 

[Chem77]

Regular tap, if you have good well water.

 

[MaverickNEA]

No well....in the city.

No well....in the city.

Spring water then and you need to let the roots dry @ 99% humidity & no air flow they can't do that cut back to 65% and they need air I've killed more than my share, one day great the next dead or wanting to be....new cuts if you can take them....those is about dun.

Figured out the problem. With help from you guys. My peat pods were definitely to wet. I also went with the temp of 25 c and humidity of 85%. Took six more clones. They are doing great. I only used the heating pad for a few hours while the pods were all ready and in the dome. With the heat pad....the temps got too high. Got them warmed up. Took heat pad away. Inserted clones into peat pods with cloning hormone. Good to go. Temp and humidity holding perfect. Now im checking the temp and humidity several times per day. Well.....while im not working i mean lol.
