Tell him to chill. He's cool. They look like they're doing fine so far to me. Shouldn't be too much longer now. Keep 'em warm...
That's not too bad, and should work just fine. But I've found that a tad warmer will usually speed things up a little, say around 70°-75°F range. But I haven't seen much, if any, improvement at temps any higher than that really. It seems like once you get above ~75°F they don't root any quicker, but it won't do them any harm either. I will, in fact, let them get as warm as the room I keep them in gets(no A/C). They've done fine in there during summer months with average temps of over 90°F, peaks of up to 110°F, for several days to weeks at a time.they are warm. temps around 65-70.
hey man they look fine
I like to open them up every day and wash/wipe down the domes and spray them with fresh water (just the domes not the plants)
dip n grow is the shit - but DONT get it on your skin - wear gloves when handling this shit
if your not using a heat mat clones can take longer and some cuts as long as 2 weeks to root - so as long as they look good and dont dry out you should be fine
they look fine to me, he RW looks a little to wet, saturated, They wont shoot roots tell that evaporates and they have to.
water every other day at most till u see roots
rw cubes should be rinsed out prior to use, soakin in roots excelurator and ph to 6
rh above 50%
temps 75-80

100% Agree with the Rockwool being too wet. I alway's give mine a little squeeze right after I insert the cutting.
I actually only water if the cube sort of dries out, not to the point where the cutting wilts.
I have had a cutting take about a month to show roots. As long as it still has green leaves, it will make it.
I dont spray the cubes, Never ever!, I mist the Dome if its dry, Ill also remove the clones and mist the tray after about 5-6 days, Ill continue to only mist the tray! Unless you got a real real dry cube I wouldnt wet them, Plant has absolutely no reason to throw roots untill it has a reason to throw roots!! She's thirsty and she knows the moisture is "Out There". Thats my 2 cents, Good Luck!
A suggestion on prevention for the future--invest in some Physan 20 and use it every time you take cuttings. Dip them in Physan as directed, then continue.

Soory to break up the Physan show :D but i have breaking news....
G.O.D.: Word! I have passed along all info. thanks so much. I feel better, but he keeps misting the cubes.
i just went over there, and checked on the tray. It's out of my hands now. I told him last night, to not spray the cubes, only the dome or the tray. I told him let he humidity keep them alive and make them stretch to reach water, like a grapevine.
it looks like I am off the hook, if something goes wrong. You guys are right. those cubes are so wet right now. I picked one up and barely squeezed it. immediately the water started dripping out. Fucking soaked!
I hope i didnt waste anyone's time. It looks like he is going to keep doing what he wants, based on past experience, and not listen to sound advice.
I thank you anyway, of course.
now back to Physan Show.
