Some wilting is normal. They should come back within a few days.

No worries I’m hoping so! Also should i minimise the amount of fan leaves on the stem to just 1?
I usually leave the top two but since they don’t have any roots yet they absorb water through their leaves. I also cut the leaf tips in half. Looks like you have already cut the tips off. That’s good. Cloning is great I have lost more plants from seed then cloning.
Ive never lost a plant to seeding i have on the other hand had some dud seeds, im hoping that this goes well being the first time doing it
Once I have a good mother plant of a strain I like I continuously clone that plant. It’s an exact of the mother plant so I’m always getting girls. No mysteries. I also clone from a clones which works just as well for me.

I also use jiffy pellets for cloning and once the roots start poking out of the bag I transfer to pot and feed her right away.

there is a good cloning instruction video. might be helpful
Keep the rockwhool a little moist and make sure temps in the dome are at least 75 degrees… up to 80 degrees and humidity is 60% to 80% …
Should be fine…
Also , mist twice a day…

I think maybe @OldSkunk made a diy bubble cloner too. I’m going to try it too.
Nope. Just Rapid Rooters and straight to a dome with a plant heating pad. I give them Rapid Start once a day and keep them under my DIY seed starter light made out of a kitchen hood and let em root.

I just cut them cut the tips of the leaves, dip it in clonex and put in rockwhool inside my dome which just sits about 1 meter under my 600w hps light i spraw 2 times a day with water no heat pad
I don’t use much of anything other then the right nutrients and a dome or 2 if need be… super clones…
I have clear cups just for this if need be… they will usually take no matter what…

I think your clones are too big. It helps if the stem end is still green and soft instead of woody. My clones are just two inches or so of a growing tip. Cut them, dip in Clone-X, and stick them in a wet cube all within a few seconds. Don’t cut a bunch and then put them in the Clone-X. Mist them every 6 hours with 1/2 strength nute solution. Cubes should be sitting in that too, in a tray with pockets so the sides of the cubes are dark. Roots don’t like light!. Spray inside of the dome too to keep humidity up. After about 15 days, roots are all over the sides of the cubes. Plant in beer cups. 100% successful so far.
Beer cup tip: Get some clear ones and some red or blue ones. Plant in the clear ones and then put the clear cups inside the colored ones. Line up the holes in the bottoms so they can drain. Check for roots by lifting the clear cup out of the colored cup. When you can see lots of roots, they are ready for their permanent home. I recommend cloth pots.
