my areo-clones keep dying

so I've built a cheap-o-aerocloner and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
the clones just wilt shrivel and die.
I was hoping you guys could give me some tips on cloning, cause I'm doing something wrong.
do you do something to the cuttings befor you put them in the cloner? (other than dip them in rooting solution?)

It is sad that all I can get working for me is Gel2Root -it takes forever

Are you misting frequently? Covering them with something will also help (same principle as the plastic cups that come with the aero to cover germinating seeds) Make sure your taking viable clones as well...

not sure what you using as in lights/distance and ferts/timmers......

to see an eacy way i have had do 100% each batch.... https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/175476-my-diy-aero-cloner-51-a.html

-use tap water only
-Adjust PH
-Only mist for the first 2 days if you dont use a dome.
-Use rooting solution and not gel
-Make sure your light is not too close this untill they rooted.

Clones always look like they are dieing when you cut them its normal. If you dont want this you can use superthrive but its not nessary.

Tap water is better than ro for cloning, but both works.


Follow these steps and you will have 100%.

took some more cuttings and one has survived from previous attempt. yeah hoo!
