NFTG. Nectar For The Gods

This is going to be my first time taking clones and I really wanna put this Rdwc cloner to use. There's no air stones in it more like tubes that release a bunch of bubbles evenly. My question is how do I use this with nectar? How do I go about getting my clones to root using things that will be compatible with nectar. I feel like if I used anything synthetic or salt based nitrates for the clones they probably wouldn't like it when transplanting into number four and using nectar nutrients. I know i can use slf 100 and maybe microbe life nourish for humic acid or zues maybe some Poseidon for the kelp? Idk Any advice would be much appreciated. I figure if I want to step my game up I got to start taking clones.

I wouldn't run any Nectar products in this but you can foliar feed with them.
SLF should be fine.

I have one of those aerocloners and I haven’t used it yet. I went to Rootriot route with some gel. Watered with slf. I took small monster crop cuttings and 36 out of 42 rooted so far. I haven’t given up on the rest but I didn’t really expected for them to have such a high success rate. Heck some even rooted in under a week.

And 7 days later

I’m still suprised I had roots in 7 days on some of these. I only had issues with Giesel which took 16 days to root.

Agreed. Im using what I have on hand. I wouldn’t buy any cloning gel except for fresh aloe.
yes ! Forgot aloe …. Some point we where trying to keep it as “ organic “ as possible …even with root riot plugs as are has stuff to help rooting …even mix some Bigfoot helps , going with dynomycro is a little different on how to use it but same concept…

Damn I really hope I didn't just waste 80 bucks on this cloner.

When I was looking into the cloner It seemed like a lot of people just use water with good success. Sometimes people run into weird issues with them and that was my turn off. There is a thread somewhere where DoubleAtotheRON asks about cloning and there’s a lot of good info shared.

So the male I found I figured I'd practice taking clones with my dwc cloner. In the reservoir I only have tap water and slf 100 and dipped the clones in a rooting solution. This was a couple days ago now my clones look great but when looking at the stems underneath they curled to a 90° angle out almost completely out of the water. Does anyone know why?

thTs odd indeed …. Maybe dried up ? Sounds odd but who knows…

So I've been messing around with this cloner and I filled it with tap water set the pH to 5.8 with pH down and turned it on and the pH just climbs. I really want to use this thing I feel like it's more of a hassle than anything though I might have to just clone using the plugs but I really do want to try to get it working. Does anyone know why the pH climbs?

some could be the gas off with the Chlorine if any in it , small res … I usually ph my plugs or res to the ph of the nutrients …. So I don’t have to worry about going from 5.8 to 6.0 or up….easier on the roots …n

Been tapering off nutes…in particular mm and aa. Think I got about 2 weeks on two of them, and only a few days for the other two. Do you guys feed TT and Aphro right up to the end?
