Ok guys I've had issues in the past repeatedly with my aerocloners. I realized it's because I didn't keep my reservoir Sterile 24/7. I'd always initially dose my cloner but didn't realize daily dosing is what's needed to maintain 5ppm of free chlorine. I have the chlorine strips and noticed .2ml of bleach/ gal of water is required to maintain 5ppm of free chlorine. No matter what your source of chlorine 3-5 ppm is best keeping everything clean and sterile. Does anyone else daily dose their reservoir w/ some type of oxidizer?

Are u guys using additives such as hormex and clonex. Seems like it'd be alot easier for me to use plain tap water and change the res and dose w/ bleach every 3 days. It's 78 degrees in my growroom so it's probably 80 in my aerocloner. Timer set 15 on 45 off. It's a must I keep ppm at 3 at least or I get brown stems fast. Correct me if I wrong but it seems if I use any additives I get brown stems easier. Could be all in my head

I gave up on clonex and just use tap water. Don't even ph or change or the water till they're done just add a little back after a week or so
