    Cloning Issue - Frustrated as I Can Be. Please Help!

    Just to be clear, I am not using the aerocloner now. I have a 120 EZ Cloner and used it for about a year and never had any success with it. Followed all the instructions and I think the most success I had was like 20 out of 120. The times I have had the most success is with humidity over 60...

    Cloning Issue - Frustrated as I Can Be. Please Help!

    When I do my cuttings, I make the Olivia's rooting solution with water PH'd to 6 and put some in some cups, do my cut and place them in there until I put them in my medium. I am not going back to the EZ Cloner, that was a nightmare for me and a lot of wasted time. I know this cabinet can work...

    Cloning Issue - Frustrated as I Can Be. Please Help!

    Without the humidifier, the humidity in that room is less than 20% and the humidity in that chamber is in the high 20s. I have had exactly success without a humidifier unless it is July or August and there is humidity. I was thinking about maybe switching to a cool air humidifier. I dont run...

    Cloning Issue - Frustrated as I Can Be. Please Help!

    The temps come from the humidifier rather than the lights. Temps drop to around 70 when the humidifier is off. I just have flouros for light, nothing extreme. I guess I could take some bulbs out. I also have windows cut in the side for airflow to go though along with little 4" fans on each...

    Cloning Issue - Frustrated as I Can Be. Please Help!

    No, I havent been because my heat inside by cabinet has been up around 80 and I thought that was contributing to the rot. I will put them in there and give it a shot.

    Cloning Issue - Frustrated as I Can Be. Please Help!

    I've read that but also read that H202 should only be used if absolutely necessary. I am losing all of them to stem rot. Every single one, over and over again.

    Cloning Issue - Frustrated as I Can Be. Please Help!

    Along with trying the vermiculate and perlite mix, I am going to try a few of the pellets as well. I have never wanted to use them because they seem like a pain in the ass but I am going to give it a shot. I have always preferred to clone in the same mixture I use for flowering because it...

    Cloning Issue - Frustrated as I Can Be. Please Help!

    I PH my water to 5.8 to 6.0. I havent used a heat map in my new setup because the temps have been high enough without it. I am not sure using a heat mat when I am having rot issues would be wise.

    Cloning Issue - Frustrated as I Can Be. Please Help!

    I have two 120 EZ Cloners and I filled it many times and would usually get about 5 or 6 to clone, sometimes none. I followed the instructions to a T, read it about 5 times every time I filled it, spent over an hour scrubbed every part including all 120 nozzles with a toothbrush and pipe...

    Cloning Issue - Frustrated as I Can Be. Please Help!

    I have used pretty much every rooting gel and powder available but lately I have been using Clonex and Olivias lately. I cant do the cuttings without the humidity cabinet because the humidity is only like 19% in there and if there is one thing I do know about cloning, it is that humidity is...

    Cloning Issue - Frustrated as I Can Be. Please Help!

    I have a lot of problems cloning. I have gone through method after method including using EZ Cloners with hardly any success. I have to cut about 150 clones to get like 20 that will root, if that. I know one of my main problems was lack of control of the climate. So, I built a DIY humidity...

    Mothers and Cloning

    I've got one set of plants that are a week into flowering today and another set that are 5 weeks into flower that are now starting to develop buds are a quick rate. I am thinking my best option might be to pull 4 of the plants that are only a week to be my mothers. I might take a few clones...

    Bud Rot Issue - Need advice

    The humidity issue came from me flushing large Rubbermaid totes of coco in the bathroom connected to that room and water was everywhere. So, hopefully this is an isolated issue because I wont be doing that again. Another question - I now have emptied the room of the infected plants. What...

    What is the easiest and cheapest remedy for spider mites ?

    To prevent them you can put Tanglefoot on the top ring of the pots and to get rid of them I have used a solution of rubbing alcohol and water. About a half hour later you want to take a rag with water and wipe the leaves you treated.

    Strain For Beginners?

    I suggest White Widow. I have grown several strains and these seem to be the most consistent plants and they are very easy to clone.
