Powered and I just take a pinch. I check it with pool test strips tbh.
Any tips on getting cuttings to root faster using aeroponics

Could I go by ppm? Instead of test strips?

Most testers don't go that low. Hanna does but I really just use the strips because I keep them for my pool and figure why not plus they're super convenient and no calibration needed.

So I've been using to water lately and I do want to point out that when I cloned my very first batch of 30 I had 100% success rate...the only difference is I was using my well water (575 ppm) and I used a bubbler instead of aeroponics, the more I think about I wonder if i should go back to well water just to see. What do you think?

That first sentence is RO water

Humidity dome, with at least 50% RH helps

as taught to me by @Aeroknow
To make the pool shock mix, start with 72% powdered pool shock, and add 2 grams of the powder to 1 gallon of water. This is your mix and will last a long time!!
Then to give you the entire recipe, here you go...Simple and cheap!! This is for an aero cloner.
Start with getting your cloner set up with RO water or distilled and add 15 ml of the diluted pool shock mix, and do not ph the water, and do not add any nutes or anything else to the water. You do want to add 15 ml of pool shock every 2-3 days. Do NOT use a dome or humidity cover!
To prepare the cuttings, make a single angular cut, and do not scrape the stems. Use DipNGrow and dip the cutting for 10 seconds, no longer, and then directly into the cloner. That's it...you are done. Just keep adding the pool shock until you have roots....about 7-10 days
It's also good to keep your temps in the lower 70's F...In the warmer months I use a cycle timer to keep the cloner cooler...I have a small batch going right now, and have roots after 7 days.

Thank you so much for your help...one question....when you say keep adding shock until they have roots... what do you mean? I just add the initial dose and that's it, I thought

I add 15 ml of the diluted shock treatment every 3 days to the reservoir until I remove the clones.

No nutes besides cloning nutes until there are roots.
