Hey people, this is my first post here, always reading around though.
I have a problem with my cuttings, now last year I was cloning in a different location and had a very high success rate, I was successfully rooting around 45 out of 50 cuts most the time. Now my current location is in the same room just about 2 meters from where it used to be, it used to be in a chest of drawers now it is in a DR40 inside of a wardrobe.
I never used to check the temp or humidy and everything went fine. I am making the cuts in the exact way I was before, using the same rooting hormone and same root riot cubes.
The problem I have is the last two times I have attempted to root some cuttings (only doing 6-12 per time), is that they look healthy then around five days in some of them begin getting a dark patch on a leaf, this then spreads and within 24 hours the cutting will be droping and never recovers. This eventually happens to them all .
I took 8 new cuts last sunday and checked my temp and humidity, temps are between 70-80 and humidy is 90+, misting twice daily. Everything was looking good and healthy until I checked them last night (day 5), two had small dark patches appearing, by today the patches have grown and they are starting to wilt . I used to use about 30w of cfl while rooting, only using 11w at the mo but the area is roughly 25% smaller.
I will get some pics now of them and the setup, using a dome with heatmat underneath. I dont think I have forgot to mention anything but if anyone needs any more info just ask. Really hope I can get to the bottom of this.
Thanks for reading
