I have an aerocloner and after about five days, the stems have become mushy. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Probably too much water , Or stems were not strong enough...
In my ez-cloner (I only use when im taking more than 10 clones)
I do not put enough water so that they are getting soaked just sprinkled
and so far so good no deaths even the little clones.... Good luck!

another reason is air lock.. when you cut the clones did you re-cut under water? that can cause them to get mushy but temps would be the first..

We have one and had the same issue after 6 uses...
check your pump.. some stores replace the pumps with one that is actually too big for the system, so it heats-up the water!

Also- what did you add to the water? Is there a good airpump in the rez- or just the water pump???
Gotta be good aeration of the solution in there!!!

There wasnt an airpump for the first two days but now we are five days in.

People make cloning sound hard and complicated , all you have to do is take a healthy cutting cut it 45deg and put in the cloner. Cutting the leaves in half , using cloning solution , cutting under water , air pump , areocloner etc all of this is extra shit and not needed for successful cloning.. All this will just confuse you and not give you a proven technique that works for You.. Keep it simple and journal waht u do so u can repeat Good Luck....

cloning solution isn't necessary either. the plant makes its own hormone. which is why when you put a cutting of a plant into a glass of water it roots. the cloning powder or gel also clogs the manifold so you end up with a coarse spray not a fine spray. with the right mix of water and oxygen you can get roots in as little as four days.
