So this is my sixth try with no success. Read all tutorials. Went the rock-wool/dome way = Fail, Built a DWC cloner = fail, right now I'm putting together an EZ-cloner as last resource while some cuttings are in the DWC cloner mocking me and not growing roots @ 5th day.
I'm using RO water at 2-5 ppm base. Rootech cloning gel for the stems, and 400 ppm of Clonex solution along with the recomended dosage of H2O2 for the water. I daily check the PH and it stays @ 5.8, no dramatic shifts whatsoever. My clones are 3 nodes length, where the bottom got the leaves removed and prepped as you'd normally do, I don't scrape the stems, just roll off the leaves. Water and ambient temp are always in range 20-24°C and RH is around 60%. No wilting at all, they look very healthy in spite of they are not even trying to establish a root system. Some white membrane is slowly growing in the stems (is this pythium?), My guess is that they'll start yellow and die in about a week due to mineral leeching if this doesn't change. As container I'm using a rubber maid 2gal tub where I fit 12 cuttings in 2" holes with net pots and neoprene inserts. I feed the mothers only PH'd water a week before taking the cuts, clean everything with bleach, H2O2 and RO water, sterilize the sizzler between every cut. You name it, and I'm already doing it. So wtf is wrong? is it because I use feminized seeds? I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!!
Please help me!
