Had an unfortunate incident with my pH meter over the weekend. I was checking the pH in my cloner when I bumped the tip on one of the sprayer nozzles. That slight bump broke the glass tip in the end of the probe - $100 later I had a replacement tip... While at the grow shop I stumbled upon a...

The clones I threw into the flower room are doing OK - they aren't dead, but they look a bit gimpy. Actually I'm surprised none of them have keeled over yet :) I have the flower room set to pump 3x per lights on, and I've been hand watering (w/nutes) twice during lights on. Hopefully they will...

I don't really think they are ready yet, but my space is limited and I had to do something... I put 14 of 'em in the flower room today. On the one hand I feel like an idiot for doing it since I could be killing off any hope for them, but on the other hand I feel I've learned a lot about my new...

On Saturday I changed my clone tank and decided to give the clones a little more SuperThrive (.25ml), Hygrozyme (12ml), AquaShiled (10ml) and an air stone. Set the pH to 5.1 and let 'er go. The next day (about 24hrs later) I checked the pH and it was up to 7.2! I lowered it to 5.1 again, and...

Roots-a-poppin all over the place now :D Changed my clone tank water tonight - added 10ml AquaShield and 3 drops of SuperThrive, then pH'd it to 5.4. Updated image attached...

How's the progress? Things are starting to look much better for me :)

I totally agree - was given the advice to use the clone gel from the guy at the hydro shop. Lots of little root-lins are showing now! Updated image attached. Anyone know of a good post/image or 2 showing how developed your roots should be before sticking them into pots? I plan to put...

Looks to me like it's mold. I had a few issues with the green stuff on my cubes too, which was pretty much solved by covering the tops of the cubes. Either bury them in hydroton or put some sort of reflective cover on them (I use some precut panda sheets, but due to my dripper system I had to...

Upon further inspection, and the passage of some time, I am convinced that the goo I see is just left over from the clone gel I used. Next time around I will try half w/gel and half w/o and see how that goes...

Looks like I'm gonna finally get some flowerable clones here (knock on wood) - several are now popping roots, and several more look like they'll pop any time now! I've decided to go with changing the clone machine tank on Saturdays and Wednesdays. The only thing I'm adding to the water is...

I think I'm seeing some nubbins forming on several of my clones. It's been 8 days now, so hopefully... Anyhoo - here's a couple of pictures, they don't show it super-well, but whataryagonnado...

Well, it would seem that something is happening to my clones. I have a feeling it's all good, but thought I'd post a couple pics and see what y'all think... Basically many of the bottoms are getting a clearish covering. It kinda looks like there may be little root tips forming in it, but then...

I'm a big fan of H2O2, but as of now have no way to get the good stuff (35%). My veg tank has been doing great since I've been using H2O2, but can't see buying the super-dilute drug store version :( Do you just use tap water in your cloner? Do you use any other cloning/cleaning solutions...

Oh yeah, I had seen your post back there. I didn't act on it at the time due to it being the first I had heard of leaving more leaves, and my assumption that I was generally overwatering. I'm hoping I'm not on the road to more heartache tho - it appears that the pump in my cloner is keeping...

Your explanation makes total sense - never had anyone explain it that way. Next batch I take I will definitely leave a second node and see how it goes.

The reason for that is cuz that's what I've seen almost everyone do with their clones. Any pictures I've seen, the clones have been trimmed back to just the last couple leaves and a little sprig of new growth. Do you have pictures of how you take your clones?

Headed back to the grow shop today to pick up the AquaShield for my clone tank. Seems to be the replacement for Hydroguard, but kinda oddly labeled. The label said to add 5-15ml per gallon. I have a 2 gallon res on my cloner and decided to go on the low side so just added 10ml total. Mixed it...

Man am I jealous - very nice work! :clap: I just did another fresh batch of clones today, but this time I have an aerocloner - I hope, I hope, I hope...

Thanks to those who have offered cloning advice - every tidbit I can get my hands on is greatly appreciated :D My last batch of clones slowly started dying off after about 2 weeks. My best guess is that I'm generally overwatering them with the occasional underwatering. Headed to the hydro...

As you can see, I have been away for a while. I've been having a bitch of a time getting my clones to work. Having issues w/mold on the top of the cube where it meets the stem (from rooting gel/humidity) and had the last batch the stems bleach out and get hard/die. Stopped at my local hydro...
