 1st attempt at cloning... Mini grow log

So I just finished taking my first clones. This is a practice run in preparation for my Fem AK-48 seeds that I will be growing next. Any advise or comments are welcome.
The plant is mexican brick weed sativa from bagseed.
Items used:
1.5 rockwool cubes
Roots Organics Trinity 0.1-0.5-0.25
Pruning Scissors
Plastic Tub (one of my Mushroom tubs)
Distilled Water
3x3 Led Light Pads (4)
Clonex single pack (not pictured)
Rubbing Alcohol (not pictured)
Spray bottle (not pictured)
Chopstick (not pictured)
2 glasses
    
The tub
It is a tub I use to grow mushrooms in. It has 8, half inch holes in it and they are covered with tyvek and held on by gaff tape.
Rockwool
They were soaked in distilled water with a diluted nute (Roots Organic Trinity) for 30 minutes.
The Lights
Rosco 3x3 HO LED light pads 1.5 watts each.
So my wife works for a theater lighting company. Awesome! These sale for $50 each but we got them for $5 each. They create no heat and a ton of bright light.
Roots Organic Trinity
given to me as a sample by my hydro shop. I used 10 drops in a half gallon of water.
Clonex cloning gel
forgot to put it in the pic...
1. Soaked rockwool cubes
2. Cleaned my tub with rubbing alcohol
3. Laid out my supplies
4. Cleaned my scissors with rubbing alcohol
5. Cut off 6 shoots above the bottom node and put them in a glass of distilled water
6. Put a thin damp layer of perlite at the bottom of my tub
7. Shook excess water off of my rockwool cubes, placed them in tub, and poked a 1/2 inch deep hole in them with a chopstick.
8. Cleaned the bottom node of each cutting, dipped them in clonex and inserted them into the rockwool cubes.
9. Misted the tub and clones and covered.
I plan on misting and fanning the clones 3-5 times a day and leaving the lights on 24hrs.

Should I be foliar feeding these ladies with a very lite solution, or just misting with water the whole time?

Day 4
So I read somewhere to leave the lid cracked a bit (I did an inch). So I did and when I came home today the humidity was gone and this is what I found.
If the still wilting ones do not stand back up, can I assume that I killed them and can replaces with fresh cuttings?

I use just water to spray.
Give em some time. Maybe the clones will make it.
I also use a heating mat. Set at 85f. Most of the time I get roots in 10 to 14 days. Thats using peat pellets.
When these plants get big enough will take clones for ez cloner.
Can't wait to try that.

Thanks and thanks.

Take a look at This link bro,,,,I built mine and I will never even think about cloning any other way again.
I do plan on doing this. I saw this post a while back and fell in love with it. Plus I love building my own stuff. I only allow myself to spend $50 bucks a month on my grow projects so I will have to save up for parts for it.
This tub was designed for mushrooms as stated before. The humidity has not been hard to keep high, and it does get some air through the tyvek covered holes. I just left the lid open for 10 hrs which was apparently to long. There was no condensation on the tub walls at all when I got home from work. They all looked great up until that point. I will keep an eye on them and see if the 3 wilted ones come back. The other 3 are sill kicking.

I have been considering this as well. The good news is, I've got several months of playing around with this.

Day 13
 
As you can see from the pic, the new growth is starting to turn yellow. I'm not sure why, I assume they want some food???
I decided to take a look at one of them and that is what you see in pic two. I put the clone I pulled in to a solo cup of FFOF.

Found my first roots poking through on a cube today. Transplanted it to solo cup with FFOF.

Day 15
All cubes showed roots sticking out. They have all been transplanted into solo cups with FFOF. 2 of them seemed to shrivel up, one worse than the other (bottom left). Any ideas as to why? My guess was the rich soil.
The top plant was the first to be transplanted and is coming back nicely.

Day 20
The clone from the previous picture, with the yellow fan leaves got tossed. It died. I have 3 strong and 2 weaker left. I will keep them going till I start my fem seeds in 2 weeks or so.

The clones are mexican brick weed sativa from bagseed. It just a practice run, but If they timing works out, I will try flowering a few.
