I have gone through 2 batches of clones trying to get my aero working properly and to no avail! I am using misters along with Iguana juice grow with clones in rockwool. The PH is good, around 5.8. My babies are turning yellow, and not growing. The roots in the first batch started to grow then stopped. In my 2nd batch, the roots have barely began to grow, and its week 2! Do you think it could be the temp of the water (too hot)? Im using a 400 watt metal halide, i have a fan on them when the light is on, and the temp in the grow area is around 88 degrees. I dont know what it is! Nutrient lockout from something? too hot? somebody please help! Thanks

are you referring to the actual cloning process or planting them afterward? I clone under T-5's an have never had a problem...Only switching to MH after they have rooted and are in my aero setup.

NO not cloning, after the clones are rooted I move them to my aero and thats when it all goes down hill! I have my misters on 24/7, I've read that you should have them turn off and on ever few minutes to let the roots get oxygen and I've also read that you can leave them on all the time, so I dont know what to believe! Its frustrating as hell though!

I leave mine on all the time. when they are newly rooted clones i keep the tubes filled almost to the top until the roots start to hang longer, then i lower the water level in the chambers to allow misting


Oh yeah what is your water temp?

and room temp?

Are you aero cloning or cloning in rockwool ?

You need to make an aero cloner and quit using rockwool
