Water.....
So I watered the RR's and went to one 26w cfl light about 8 inches away from the clones, placed a heating mat on low and kept COPIOUS amounts of water/mist available for them and they have all bounced back so far!!   I must say this is the first time I've gotten any honest positive feedback from them. Is this anything like actually HAVING a baby in real life because I sure feel like I just went through Mr Toad's wild ride! I'll grab some pics later today as well. 
PS....so far so good Stealth.

I THINK ITS GROWING!!!!
This is one of my FIRST clones.....remember the only one that actually develped any roots? I cut this clone on 2/28 and I put her in some soil about a week ago and I think she is growing!!
Opinions? Am I just stoned? Perhaps both?

Newest Batch.....
And the only other survivors...... They seem to be doing very well at this point. (Let us pray.....  )
The one in the left front corner is a WhiteBerry cutting taken 10 days ago...I think I MAY be seeing some root nubs starting but cannot be sure. The other three are White Widow....cut approx 4 days ago. |

Once you see roots poking out and a noticeable paling of the older growth, you can give your clones a VERY weak foliar feed with a complete fert. I actually like to use the GH micro, since it has N [1] as well. Be certain to harden them off slowly. I'd separate clones of different ages in their own domes because while the rooted one needs a gradual decrease in protectin from dryness and drafts, the younger ones need steady humidity and no pestering. 24/0 light, don't open the dome unless ya have to, only mist when you see actual wilt, keep away from drafts and avoid temp swings.

Hmm.....don't have any foliar stuff to feed with....should I water with a very light fert? I can get to the hydro store tomorrow if you think I should NOT be putting any nutes in her water.
Don't mess with different ages of cuttings together......this is something I have been doing the entire time and I wonder how much havoc it has been playing with my failure numbers. I got into the habit of it because none of the cuttings lived very long.....so when one went down I just added another. NOW they are looking as though they may actually MAKE it so I'll stop mixing them.
Thanks for the advice.  Can use all the help I can get.

You don't need special 'foliar stuff'; use the micro or veg base from your regular nutes but mixed real weak.
Mixing cuttings is a good way to spread rot from aging cuttings, which can and often DO get a bit of mold late in their rooting time that does not kill them because by then they are a little plant with a functioning immune system.
You MUST sterilize your dome between cycles of cuttings.
Use foaming antibacterial/antifungal bathroom cleaner. Scrubbing Bubbles or the dollar store alternative is the one to get. Spray on a good layer of foam. Allow to sit 10 minutes. Rinse off not too well under the sink sprayer. Don't forget to do the dome too. Using foaming cleanser, you don't have to really get all the bits of dirt off or scrub the trays. It pretty much sterilizes everything, including remnants of dirt.

Gotcha.....I'll draw the line with these and sterilize before starting any new ones....then do groups of same age together. I'm HOPING this dragon cutting will be a future mom....if she makes it.
Is the foliar a one time thing to do for the plant and then start your nute program? I'm EXTREMELY unfamiliar with foliar spraying except for my Reverse, etc....never foliar sprayed nutes before.  |

I do it a few times as I'm hardening off the cuttings, at the point where they first go into an actual pot of soil. I water with only plain tap water at this time, but give a light, weak, fert mist a couple times during the hardening-off period. You don't HAVE to do this by any means, it's just a nice little boost that I have found helpful in my own cloning environment, which is now in the side light from a big halide, and as soon as they are rooted, my clones have been TAKING OFF and looking hungry early.
I would say start a reglar nute program when you see that teh clones have about doubled in size from when you cut them. That's nice thing about clipping the leaves- when you see 3 sets of leaves that have no evidence of being clipped, you're good to go- feed, flower, whatever.
