So your not using rooting hormone then? Just straight tap water? Just asking cuz that's how I used to run mine now.
I usually dont use it in the cloner, but I had it out to try useing for a cut i put straight into dirt in a cup
just to try, so I thought Id do a side by side. as I wasn't planning on running these clones.
Definitely nice roots! I just built a Aero cloner out of a 5 gallon pale, I got some olivias solution but not sure if it will make anything better. But I realized when using gels on my old Aero cloner it would just wash off too quickly, that's why this time I got the solution you mix in the res instead. Do the powders clog the misters at all by any chance?
good luck with the cloner alpha,
I tried using Olivias my first two attempts with an aero, both failed.
So I called the mnfg for a refund & the owner asked me to try it with tap water only.
I did as he asked, and 10 days later an explosion of roots !
I have also had success with a small amount of KLN & Protekt ( 1ml & 2ml in 3gal rez)
I'v only used rooting powder hormone, and a very light dusting.
But my best results have been just plain tap water, mist first 2 days, top of rez @ day 5
and by 10 -14 days strong white roots
