The only thing i can think of is lack of oxygen or possibly getting to hot in the res. I made a 5gal DWC and had some heat problems wiyh my res and had to switch to soil. It was a almost a fully mature plant but it was going pretty good wether or not it was filled completely or 5-6 inches from the top. As long as the bubbles are bubbling on it it should be fine, even if you have it full as long as there are enough air bubbles and the temp is under 75 you shouldnt have any problems. I know in mine i added h202 (hydrogen pyroxide) and it seemed to help on the brown soft roots but i dont know how it would do adding it to a cloner.
Well io hope this helps a little.

Thanks a lot for that. I'm in Malta and a lot of the simple stuff for hydro is impossible to get. With the foam mat idea I'm gonna be able to try some hydro cloning and be able to see the progress rather than just wait to see if the clone lives or not in a pot. :)

So built mine and got 6 six clones on as a test. Just one quick question. Do the clones need to actually be in the water or just above it for the mist from the bubbles? Currently I'm trying the latter.

This tutorial gave me a great Idea. I followed your basic instructions with the plastic shoe box, but mine has 2 7" microbubble airstones and an air control switch on the side. The switch allows me to shut one/the other/ both airstones off if i want, or lower the pressure to one/theother/both airstones to produce more or less bubbles for optimum growth. Its pretty sick. Just posted pics in my journal/growcab thread in my signature.

I liked your idea so much I made one for myself. My first round of testing is going to be these 8 bag seeds in rock wool. I didn't paint or cover anything. I have heard people saying this is bad and others saying it won't matter since the plants / water won't be living in this long anyway. Looks like I will find out for my self one way or another.

+rep for this one man. This was so cheap and simple that I am seriously considering recreating this on a larger scale and doing my next grow DWC.

I am using one of these that I built. I did have a question though, what is the purpose to cutting the stem. I did not do that to my plants and I have not seen any roots yet. I have 8 plants in there over a week and have seen no roots yet. Temp is 75 and humidity is 80%.

Don't chop the stem up, just do so some shaving so that the clone will think that the bottom of the stem was already roots and produce roots from the shaved spot.

I made a video illustrating the process! There are a few differences, I replaced the airstone with a perforated air pump tube and shaped it into a loop. Also, I used sticky-back foam for the covers for the clones.
It works great! Thanks!
