Can I re-cut Clones to get roots?

[MidWestSmokin]

I cut clones a week ago. I tried to make a dwc cloning set up. I used 1" rockwool cubes and have them just above the water. When I look at the ends that I cut they are turning brown. I did use olivia's. I'm guessing that the brown means they are gonna die? They are not wilted bad, they look like they are still alive. What do I do? Can I make a new cut above the spot and re dip and try again? Any help would be much appreciated.

Clone Masters Unite! I am undecide here, I think they are dead, but I am no expert on clones. Anyone?

They have dampened off and will die. I have saved some by recutting above the black rotten stem but the success rate is small. You need to cut some more. What were your water temps in the cloner? Anything over 72 was too high and is why the stems rotted.

Is it harder to root a clone from a plant 2 weeks into 12/12?

 

[Boss]

It will have to be re-vegged, and from wht I hear it is harder but not impossible by any means.

Not to knock Olivia's, but a while back I compared Olivia's with plain old rooting hormone (indole butyric acid). The Olivia's treated clones took over a week longer to show roots, compared to the plain rooting hormone. The Olivia's treated cuttings looked nice, but took longer to root.

I agree with Racefan about temps. In the winter, when I am struggling to keep things warm enough, I usually have 100% cloning success. In the dead of summer I have worse results due to damping off.

Well 6 out of 8 of the cuttings have rooted. I now have four in 4" rockwool with roots already thru the bottom. 2 still in 1" cubes now have roots showing. I am so stoked i was able to get some to root. They looked like they were not gonna make it. Now that they are on a drip system with low dose of nutes I think they will survive.
