Speaking of which... TK91 leaning weed nap, day 27 of 12/12, absolutely loving the coco and Floraflex. Defoliated her one last time this morning. I was unable to clone this one but I’ll reveg if she’s really fire. Sundae driver leaner cuts aren’t rooting either, but I haven’t flowered her yet. I’m unhappy with my clone success rate but hopefully cooling down the tent with a better exhaust fan (already done), putting in a more powerful pump for a better spray (happening tomorrow when the pump comes in), new neoprene collars (already in), and dialing in the rez solution (ongoing) will help improve my success rate. I might get a small tray to try some rockwool cube clones too.

I run my cloner at about 75 degrees until most have rooted and will then lower the temp. If I start seeds in it I also run it cooler but for rooting I have my best luck around 75. Good luck, hope you get it sorted out and have roots popping soon.

I’ve got a heat mat and could run it a little warmer but I’ve also read that creates favorable conditions for bacteria and that the water holds more oxygen at lower temps. I try to keep it as clean as possible and change the rez no less than every other week. I had airstones in there but I think the stones were reacting with something and throwing off my pH. I’ve thought about looking for some that are more inert but then decided a more powerful water pump was a better way to get more oxygen.

I'd say its the cooler temps. Having trouble cloning some of my plants as well, even one that cloned easily last summer. Luckily 3 of my keepers clone in plain water in a about a wk. I might hook up my bubble bucket if I can find the parts tho

More powerful pump = higher water temps. I'd try changing the water every other day

How are the testers doing for you?

Doing good! Lot of variation and all 5 look strong. I think there’s gonna be some good ones. The one on the top right took a lot longer to germinate but is catching up with the others quickly

That’s true. I’m talking to another guy in my city on IG who uses tap water and keeps it around 75 with good results. Mine stays between 65-70. I know the water holds more oxygen at lower temps but I have no way to get it below 65 without rigging up some kind of radiator and fan and recirculating the water and that’s way too much trouble.

Change water every two days? That’s a lot of work. I get like 90-100% rooted with rapid rooters, a dome, and a heat mat set at 78 if it’s cold out. I built an aero thingy years ago and it was super finicky. Plus planting spaghetti roots with no anchor was a pain in the ass

I don’t change my water anywhere near that often. More like every 1-2 weeks and that’s definitely not helping me. I know there’s a lot I’m still missing with cloning. I’ve been thinking about trying it that way. I’ve got a shitload of rockwool cubes. I’ve got enough room in the 2x2 tent with the aero cloner for a dome tray.

My seedlings’ roots are starting to catch and actual growth has begun.

I couldn't get any of my clones to root or reveg the mothers during an extended cold period at the beginning of the winter. I've never had that happen.

First topanga lemon x ssh I flipped looks nice. That #7 definitely passes some frost. She’s only like 24-25 days but I’m getting a strong candy smell with a citrusy astringent cleaner back end.

Root riot cubes, aloe, and some silica. Coconut powder too if you have it. Mix up. Take cutting. Soak for an hour in solution. Soak said root riot in solution as well. Snip at 45* angle and scrape the bottom sides with razor blade. Everything must be sterile. Stick cutting in plug. Put I dome. Wait. Heat mat at 82-84. Wait 7-10 days. Plant.

Was thinking about grabbing the Papaya x Gushers myself. That or Legends OG x Gushers

Like others are saying, rooting plugs & dome works for me too. I've just been not wanting to purchase extra stuff to clone & try plain water 1st. Trying to use straight perlite but I need to put them in a dome and kept the humidity up.

I’m going to try this because I have room in my clone tent. This sounds like a good way to do it. I came from mycology so I know how important it is to be sterile. It’s probably overkill but I use a fresh sterile scalpel blade for every batch.

Gushers OG looks really fire and has been around for a while. Floss candy is new and looks really fire. Tough call. Probably go with the gushers OG if you want something gassy and the floss candy if you want something fruitier.
