A cycle timer is the key they cost a pretty penny but are worth it. 1 minute on 4 minutes off. Someone I trust very much told me those times and they work great. Ive mainly gone with clonex but u can never tell when it goes bad so I got a bottle of the hormex powder and it works great.

It's true it takes a few weeks for some clones to root. Idk y but I've had cuttings from the same plant take drastically different times to clone. One took 5 days the other took 19. I leave Em in there Til I see sludge or mold or any slime on them or if they die. Im at about. 90% now I can confidently just take 1 of a strain and know its prolly gonna come out. The cycle timer helped me out a lot when I first got the cloner. I had mold issues Lettin it run all the time.

Make sure you still mist your babies down several times a day they love it.

I never mist or spray anything on my clones and have 100% success.

Also, if you're getting sludge, slim or mold in the root zone part of the stem try using some H2O2. If you're getting slim, mold or sludge on the upper parts of the stem or leaves you have way too much moisture up there, probably from spraying them or if you use a humidity dome.

Always start with a sterile (or as close to it as possible) cloner. I let mine run for at least an hour prior to starting a batch of clones with a heavy dose of 29% H2O2 in the rez.

The cloning or rooting phase has different needs than the veg or bloom stages of growth.

The warmer temps definitely help speed up root production. If you look on the EZ-Clone website in the FAQ section they recommend maintaining the reservoir between 70-85 degrees, I personally try to keep my reservoir between 80-85 degrees during cloning and i keep the atmosphere as close to 75 as possible.

These are my results...

Nice looking set up man, looks like you got her dialed in pretty well. I can't run my water temps that high they just refuse to root! The suggested temps are just a range, depending on your environment, style of grow, medium, water condition and type. A temp that works in my room may not be the proper temps for your set up. A little testing and patience will results in similar results as these wonderful new little ladies.

I just run RO water and a little RapidStart. I can usually do about 3-4 sets of clones, adding only RO water, before cleaning the unit. I've never really pushed my luck past that. I have it on a timer 1 min on 1 min off. I get 100% success like this, except for the couple times I forgot to add water and a couple dried out and died.
