Defects

So I'm growing some blueberry, hempy style. I have these gel cups that are used for clones, it promotes rooting, yet everytime I take a cutting they stay for a couple days then start to droop and wilt.

My process is:
Clean razor blade
Cardboard backing behind the stem I want to clone
The clones have minimum 2 shoots and I cut just below the last shoot.
I trim off all the leaves except the ones on the very top, which is usually 2 small ones as well as the growing sprout at the tip.
While trimming the clone remains in a small cup of water with the clone just sticking out at the top about half an inch to an inch from the top is not submerged.
This takes 10-30 seconds and then I poke a hole in the top layer of foil of the gel cups.
I then gently push the clone into the gel cup until it is submerged a cm below where the first leaf is, making it about 1-2 inches of stem in the gel.
Now being that roots shouldn't be getting light I put them in cups so just the top gets light.
After this I set them under a CFL lamp, 26 Watts, 2600 lumens, daylight style light. They sit under this 24/7 Beside a black cup of water to promote humidity.
My house is generally pretty warm.

Possible problems I could think of:
It gets direct sunlight for about 3-5 hours each morning, possibly too warm for them to handle?
It gets a little chilly in the room as the air conditioner is left on sometimes, but it never gets cold, just a little chilly ontop of the warmth/humidity in the room.
It's also beside a fan that is on about 50% of the time.

Any advice is appreciated thanks in advance.
Please help my little babies
