clone care!

I took clones from plants the day before I turned the lights on 12/12. This was my first attempt and it is now two days later and the clones look alright but i was wondering, what kind of care should I give them until they are rooted?
They are sitting in a 50% perlite 50%vermiculite mix in a chamber of RH 40-50%. Do I water now and then or what? Thanks guys and gals

Keep the soil moist but not soggy and keep the humidity where it is or just a little higher and they should be fine. Misting them once in a while helps too.

I like to mix up a low helping of some foliar feed, ie:seaweed extract, fish emulsion, there are tons. Right now the plant is using all the avaliable nutes for rooting and is leaching from the plant.
I have found that adding a small supplement like this gives the old growth a chance to stay green a little while longer, happy gardening

AFAIK clones are not supposed to be watered for fear of rotting. the grow medium should be moist not wet! as soon as the plant can take water in it's supposed to be transfered to soil... the idea is making perfect conditions for the forming of roots while trying to avoide moisture loss in the clone roots need oxygen as well as water and i think that's why it's best to not water clones
good luck

clone to rock wool after dipping water and rooting powder or jel then stick in a wet rockwool then you take a 2Liter soda bottle and then cut it in half then cut a strip about.25 inch wide in the lower half to within an inch of the bottles cylinder. then just out the clones in bottom and slip the bottle with lid on and oplace in your clone area keeps the clones humid and they ususally love it.

This guy is on the right track..... Get some rock wool... And while your there, get yourself a 5.00 clone dome.... I take my cuttings the day that I switch them into my flowering room... I use rock wool, I of course use rooting compound. Just mist the inside of the dome once a day.... Keep them under some light (I have T-5's) and in about a week... BLAMO!, you have rooted clones....

how long after rooting do you move them into the flowering room?

You can move them right away if you want. As long as the roots are established the plant will flower. But the longer you let it veg the stronger the root system will develop, and the better off the plant will be during flowering.
I just planted 2 clones yesterday after about a week and a half of sitting in my temporary cloner. The roots just exploded. I mean these things had big rootballs for how small the clones were. So I moved them into their final soil pots and not half an hour later the top sets of leaves shriveled. I put a dome over each of them to trap some moisture in and they're doing better now. Is there a certain amount of time you have to keep them humid after planting them in soil? I thought they would for sure draw up whatever they needed since the soil was nice and moist.

Personally i like using peat pellets more because they don't need to be PH balanced, are a bit easier to work with, and are cheap as fuck. Went out and spent about 3 dollars on a humidity dome and seedling tray and man has that made such a difference. My clones rooted so fast that i went away for 2 days and when i cam back the roots had shot out the sides of the pellets a couple of inches!
