I do. Almost everyday. I use softened water but it works just fine for my clones under the dome. Also dont bother phing. Never had a problem in my actual cloner from it. Always roots in a week or 2 at most.
I'm glad u wrote that previously because I hadn't changed it yet
I recently did the same, had slime issues with the bubble cloner. So now i'm experimenting with just letting the cuttings sit in the cloner for 7 days, if they survive(heat) then I transfer to soil and wait for roots. RH is consistently 65%+ so no need for domes. This will improve my rates I think. What I have not mastered yet is how moist to keep the soil and how to avoid dampening of the stem. Any suggestions?
Did you try 2ml per gallon hydroguard in the cloner? Ill bet that would fix the slime/rot issue and youd get roots faster than in soil
Nah. It doesn't take me a month to get roots in soil.
At first you want it to stay damp but not soaking wet. After a week you can let the soil dry some. If they droop then water.
Idk what it is that makes all our results so different but for me it did take one month in fox farm ocean forest in little cups to see roots, when the ones in my tray wouldve filled up the tray and started dying from lack of nutes by then
The mother plant must have been in bad condition.
Some of these clones are the worst ugliest fucking things ive ever seen.

What did you change?LOL! Maybe I should've used that as my title. "The ugliest fucking clones you've ever seen!"
There were a couple things I wasn't doing correctly. After some guidance I got my new ones to stay much "prettier"
These are about a week old and starting to root a little...
I had too much light. I've got 2 x 24" T8s about 10" above the newer clones on the bottom. I turned one of them off and raised the light a couple inches. Also, I had been using spring water but read that unbalanced tap is fine. Not sure if that had any effect, but my new clones are looking way better than the others.
Is that basil growing down there? LolAnd Mama's really healthy, BTW...
As an added bonus, I think the shade it provides on the top soil may help to keep temps down a little.
Ill remember that. Cant really grow outside here without worrying a lot but at one point i tried putting plants outside and they got dug up. We have moles and deer and tortoises and rabbits and all sorts of shit around here thatll mess with my girls.Actually, it's mint. I'm trying to cross breed the Headband and the mint to create "Headmint"! Oh, that's not how you cross breed?
LOL j/k
I read that it helps keep critters away. I didn't really think I was going to have problems with critters, but I thought it'd just be cool
I hear ya. I'm in Oregon, and a lot of people are starting to do backyard grows now that it's legal. My bud has a small 10' x 10' chainlink fence in his backyard to keep thieves and animals away. With this one, she's outside during the day, and in at night. I had her on an 18/6 schedule, so when she wasn't outside, she was under a 600w MH. I was keeping her in a tent while I was finishing up on my grow room. I just flipped her. She's now in a blacked-out isolated room for 12, and outside for 12. I take her out each morning at 7:00 sharp. I flipped her because I need to have my own around the end of September (2-months flower).
Thanks! I topped her early on because she was stretching. It's why she's got a canopy. She's in coco on GH Floro nutes
