I really need help! I transplanted 3 clones from soil to rockwool yesterday (sunday). They all had no roots after i removed all the soil, so i cut the bottom of the stems through the middle. I put rooting gel on them. The rockwool cubes were pre-soaked in 5.5 ph water. After transferring them to the grow box they immediately starting wilting. I thought this was due to over-watering so i sucked out most of the water from the cubes. I have kept them in a humidity dome and they are not looking better. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
^correct. you can counteract this process by misting the leaves with water, maintaining a high RH to alleviate the water evaporating out of the stomata so quickly. your clones need to be in a more humid area. and you also dont want to apply too much rooting hormone - it is possible to get hormone burn (just like nute burn). im not saying they wont root, but they may not take as quickly as youde like.
