Using dewey mister to clone, the bottom 2 inches of cutting is getting this grown gunk on them and they are rooting like 3+ weeks later. If you don't know the dewey mister is like a bubbler I guess where the bottom 2 inches of the cutting sites in water.

If you look at pic 1 of the open lip (top left of it) you can see the brown dirt. This stuff gets on the bottom of my cutting and that's what I wiped off in the first post. Everything is always clean, I would get a very small amount of this, but this is the most I've ever got.

Are you using well water? I think it could be from a high mineral content in your water. You'd have to have your water tested to know for sure.

You can get a product called iron x. Its primarily a cleaner but when it comes in contact with iron it turns purple. Spray it on the paper towel and if the brown streaks turn purple you know your dealing with a high iron content in your water.
