It never wanted to clone.
the white one is better tbh. The purple was just pretty to grow. 3 cuts spent three weeks in cloner w no roots. EVERYTHING else I put in there rooted fine. Lol

Glad it's still around. You did an awesome job this year Doc, I hope you can find the land you're looking for and have a hassle free year next season.

And you do a damn fine job of it! Just wondering, I think you've mentioned you run your pump 24/7 right? Had to re-cut all my clones this week as the damn cycle timer shut off and didn't turn on again. Second time that's happened so I think rather than replacing it I'll just run it 24/7 $#%! Cheers.

yea I don't run a timer on the cloner at all, 24/7. When I took the pic before this one, I forgot to plug it back in for about 20hrs, they were all wilted and laying flat,
bounced back quick.
I just love root porn...lol

Great thanks, that's what I thought, 24/7 it is. But yeah, gotta set those reminders to plug it back in - lol Mine could have been off as long as 36 hours, don't know how long but only 2 of 12 bounced back when I by-passed the timer. Fortunately I had everything I needed to re-cut in veg and a couple only 3 days into 12/12 so I'll be fine, could have been worse...

I've been getting about 65% cloning success in my aerocloner. Temperature of the water is 81F. I don't put anything in the water at all, I swish a chlorine bleach pool tablet around in the water a few times right before fresh clones go in and that's it. To help keep temperatures manageable, I run my short cycle timer for fifteen seconds every 5 minutes. They're under 2 T8 bulbs in a shoplight.
Your clones are much bigger, greener and more vigorous than mine. I'd like to get a few tips so mine look like yours!

I use straight tap water, misters 24/7 no timer,T5's about 18"
I don't care for using bleach, I use H2O2 to clean ....JMHO
Iv also had success using KLN @ 2ml & Pro Tekt @ 4 ml per gallon
I think my water temps stay at about 76f
* I added aloe 1/8tsp x 3 gal (200 x powder) to this round..rooted the same as without as far as I can tell

So as far as I can tell, the difference is 5 degrees of water temperature? I'd like to see how you prep your clones, could easily be something I'm not doing.
I'm not hurting with a two thirds cloning percentage, but I'm always looking to improve.

I really don't do any prep.
I try to start with a healthy mother, I take a bunch of cuts, rest them in a glass of aloe water
then I do finale cut ( @leaf nod if possible) 45° ....plug into cloner
then ignore for 7 - 10 days
patience was always the hardest part for me...& not fuking with em along the way
