None of my clones rooted! WTF! Any advice?

[bigunyun]

Bought a cloner. Followed directions. Nada. They looked like good cuttings. Took a few from a flowering plant too. Nada. Gawd I suck at this! How do you guys do it?

How did u prep them?

Are they all getting constantly misted in there?

Cut off mother. Immediately in water. Then cut stems at 60 degrees and right into rooting gel for a minute. Then into the misting cloner. Water was pHd to 6.0 per instructions.

I would run constant mist and drop all products intended for dirt like bacteria cultures and inoculants. I bet hydroguard causes more problems for hydro growers than it solves. Same thing with "Hygrozyme - I grow slime"

They have no place in hydroponics IMO and I see the same problem all over the forum with people trying to run alive systems without a chiller. Don't use dome, Good Luck! Cheers!

Blurple is the only light I had so used that 24 hrs. Humidity was kept around 80 and temps usually 71.

Nothing added to this water except pH down. I do add Hydrogard on my dirt grows sometimes.

I use straight tap water, bit of calmag,nothing else in my mister

How long they been in there

Edit

Trim up the leaves,too many looking for water
Less folage is better for clones

I have had 100 percent success so far with a clone king just using tap water cutting stems and dipping into clonex. Even rooted every single monster cropped clone. No ph products, no anything but rooting gel. After 5-7 days in the cloner I add some clonex liquid nutes. Seems to work great.

Try adding a few drops of bleach. I put my finger in the bleach cup and dip it in my 1.5 gallon cloner. Few drops of bleach and bloom nutes is what I use.

They should also receive very little light to trigger root growth.

i use soil rooting hormone and trim the fans keep them in a dome in 2 weeks 90% success

What's your temperatures like?

Could be too cool

 

[myke]

Was the mother plant healthy ? Also yeah as said,too cold.Purple leaves.

 

[blueberryrose]

Too cold, too much direct light.

Yes, very healthy mothers... could be too cold, tho, yes... what temp do you shoot for?

 

[bigunyun]

yes that could be, thanks!

 

[myke]

Guys, this isn’t the bro science thread

no need to trim the leaf tips.

But they all look so pretty when their trimmed.lol.

Room,72-80 ish

When you did the 60° cut did you split it up middle after the cut. I do the angled cut then split it from the cut tip up about 5mm-10mm it then looks like cutting has legs. This helps give the cutting more area for new roots. I use a honey and water mix to dip clones in then put in mister box in bathroom with light on. Weather it sounds like bro science or not it seems to work.

maybe too much light? They don't need much for rooting. Like one cfl twisty bulb 3 feet away. No high wattage unless 6 feet or more away from light. Hope this helps.
