seaman, leaves are green, new cut & dip, Yes I don't see a reason for them to not grab root.
Knowing if you have air in the stem it's simple.
After you place the clone inside the dome, spray them once.
Do not open the dome for 48 hrs, regardless what you see inside.
After the time is up, open the dome for 5 min's once a day, but do NOT spray them even if they're wilting a bit.
Let the stem look for moisture.
The leaves survive on the RH build up inside the tub.
In 7 days, if you don't have root showing, most likely your stem its closed, leaves will start yellowing, and it will start wilting.
Most will spray & spray water trying to keep the leaves from dying, it doesn't help much.
If the clone don't have roots in a week, is time to re cut and try again.
Healthy clones in a high humidity dome should start building roots on the second day.
The mistake, most growers do is keep opening the damn dome, not realizing will take 12 hrs to build RH at 90%, so here you lost half a day times cause had no patients.
Now here are some tips that I noticed that I do right.
My clones must have 3/16" thickness minimum
at least 4 nodes & a top
I stick the stem 3" inside the solo cups, thus the roots are more in the bottom.
Another thing, when you cut that first node (leaf) of the clone, that part has to be powdered too and it has to be inside the soil.
If not, is sucking air.
The reason that I cut that leaf is, to encourage roots to grow from there too.
Remember a plant will & can grab roots from any part of its "body",..... if you lay it sideways and pour dirt over half the stem, in no time at all you'll have roots growing. (No cloning Powder needed,
)
Nature, man, the need to survive, amazing thing.
Good luck with your babys.
