If your clones are drooping after you've cut them,you have issues with your environment
IE:>>>too arid,too hot ,too cold,too bright,too dry,etc......
Freshly cut clones placed in too bright of an environment will always droop ,but usually recover
Also when you make that cut you have two seconds to get it stuck into your medium or you run the risk of an embolism forming,and then your cut will definitely droop and never recover......
If your environment is dialed in your cuts won't droop at all....
These cuts are less than 12 hours old,and I'm not using domes as it's raining and the humidity is high enough without domes right now......
Most folks like to use a rooting powder or gel when taking cuts.....
I haven't used use rooting powders or gels in over a decade ,as I've found they are not really necessary with proper cloning technique......
I root a large number of cuts per year with a less than 1% failure rate......but I always use new Rockwool cubes and
clean ,sterilized equipment........I also use distilled H2o until they root,alternating irrigation with Distilled H20 and a mild,balanced, General Hydro nutrient mixed at 250 ppm
If you don't have a ppm meter,a 1/4 tsp of micro ,grow ,and bloom per gallon of Distilled water will work
for rooting cuts.....
