I personally have never really had good success rates with aeroponic cloning...like 30-40%. I'd usually make mush lol. Regardless of method though, clones mainly need a humid environment(that's why you dome early cuts) warm temps(I've cloned in the low 70s but roots grow faster closer to 80....but so do molds so watch for that), and steady but low powered light.

Also of note your cuts look terrible, inside each stem there are a set of tubes called xylem and phloem. When we cut stem if we do so with bulky scissors these tubes get crushed and damaged very easily. If these tunes get damaged in the slightest then there will be no roots or water uptake. Cut at 45 degree with a razor or sharp knife. This is also paramount to success, clean cuts with sterile blade. Anything that applies a crushing effect as it cuts is no good.

Do not put in 100% humidity, anything above 75% plant will begin to close its stomata in order to prevent "drowning" in moisture. Plant requires oxygen to survive, with only a couple sets of leaves.

Something in the water is feeding them. Make sure it's distilled. Tap water runs 4-700ppm, those 700parts per million or whatever are telling the plant its time to grow. If plant senses anything in water thay could be mistaken for nutrient it attempts to grow instead of reroot.

Hey there they are starting to root. I suggest keeping them in a small tent or room you can keep humidity super high like almost 100% humidity for a time. Also I suggest either putting cutting directly in water to root or putting the clones into root cubes and then have the code sitting in water for atleast 10day. When you use and aeroponic cloner is possible the ppant don't get enough water and clone fails. Also I supper suggest qhen you start clones do not keep opening the resivor and pulling out the clones to check. Put them in the cloner and don't pull them out to check for 14 to 20 days. You will see the leaves on the clone start to hold there own and not sag over and such without super high humidity over.time.when they can Handel room humidity then they have rooted and can never taken out the aeroponic
