Can anyone give a newb some advice on the aeroprops please? I seem to have more luck with jiffy plugs. I've had Dome on, dome off....but seem to be throwing away cuts as they go all squishy underneath. Should I change the water often? Bit puzzled as they always seem to be plug and play with high success.....Help a newb ffs.

Depends on what cloner/pump etc, some of the pumps are so powerful they heat the water up massively and just kill the cuts in there, when i had mine ( x-stream 12 site) i had to turn the pump down as far as possible n then everything was fine but if pump wasnt on lowest setting everything would die off within days etc

Also i only used to change the water once cuts had rooted in cloner (10-15 days) but always add a tiny amount of veg nutes to the newly filled water, like less than 1ml/L

Furthermore keeping the vent on top of the dome open about a quarter seemed to help massively, if it was fully closed all the clones died, fully open took a few days extra for stuff to root

what cloner is it you are using out of interest?

DST, here's what I did if it helps; took my cuts, made the 45 degree cut, scraped the bottom 1/2" of stemDSCN0266.JPG
lightly with razor just the outer bark, dipped in root powder, set in cloner - no top, no water change, straight
tap water fresh from the sink I didn't even de-chlorinate it.
I used an OxyCloner with an air pump instead of the venturi that's it full fishbones in 8 days.
Good luck.

Thanks Oldman. Pretty proud of em :) With this crazy summer weather its awesome they pulled through..

DST ive had problems with overheating water cause of the pump.. Ive found that just having an air pump or two works better so its dwc instead of aero in the summer..

A friend of mine have gotten cancer. I dont have any strains that are specialy ment for cancer but will i be able to make good oil for him anyway? I have dog bx2, Pakistan Chitral Kush, Blackberry Og, Critical + auto, Sweet seeds - Dark Devils.
Its birthmark cancer that has spread to lymfe

Fuk, cancer in yer lymfe nodes anit good Hydro. Sorry to hear that about your friend. And yes, gives those strains a try with oil, I reckon the dog should help with pain for sure.

Cheers for the reponses guys, I reckon it's something to do with the heat. I only have one setting for the pump so can't turn that down.

I have the xtreme 40 site, Saer. I have had the dome off but didnt seem to help, and now the dome is on with the openings fully open. Don't get me wrong, a few of the cuts have rooted, but some just went to mush so I thought, that ain't right.....

Oldman, I never used any rooting powder or anything but will give that a shot as well. I have another pump which is a lower rating, maybe I should give that a bash......

Been trimming Plemon in the sun for 4 hours, hard work!!!:)

How far up are you filling the reservoir? mine always worked better 1/3rd-1/2 full of water, just enough to cover the pump etc

Also once the pump has been running for a few hours minimum take a water temp reading as well, might shed some light on things

Temp was 28c which seems quite high for water. I have changed the water, placed the unit on wooden.blocks off the floor (it's next to the boiler and the water pipes can get hot in the concrete but normally that only happens over winter with heating on. Anyway, the temps is now 20c with the fresh cold water....also doesn't seem that cold but short 9f sticking ice cubes or trying to fill it up with chilled filtered water from my fridges dispenser that's as cold as its getting the noo

Will take temps later on.

Your mushy-ness comes from the water being to warm. That has happen to me before whe I ran my pump 24/7. The water warmed up. I switched to 4 minutes off 1 minute on. Hand I also put frozen bottles inside to keep the temps down. This has help me achieve 90-100% root success rate. Your environment plays a role to. I also use tap water like old man does. No need to ph your water. Good luck.

How about well water? I've got an aero cloner but my only access is well water, full of minerals. Think it'll break my pump?

I'm gonna try it out of course, just wondering what you all say...

My tap water is hard as can be but the clones seem to love it, ph 7.5 heavy
in calcium and lime. I do clean my pump very carefully after use but no problems yet.

:peace:

The faucet water has been softened, but the hose water that the girls are getting is straight well water. My feed regimen calls for calmag and I haven't had to add any yet due to it being in my water.

I'll have to be more adament about cleaning the sediment build up off of it. What do you use? I'm thinking that letting it run for a couple hours in a vinegar solution might clean it well enough

A soft cloth and take the impeller assembly apart rinse and wipe. If it gets real bad
use CLR and rinse like crazy. Or you can use warm Cider Vinegar.
I used to use cal mag but with my water I have been using 1 tsp. of Epsom Salt
per gal. and the ladies love it.
