Aeroponic Cloner- rooting gel?

I recently setup my aerocloner for the first time. I dipped the plants in rooting gel before inserting into the neoprene, and then i dumped about 50 mL of rooting gel (clonex) into the res and mixed it in. Ph is adjusted.

My question is, will the 50 mL of clonex rooting hormone gel help or hurt the clones? I heard somebody say to put "150 mL of your favorite rooting solution" into the res but i now realize there is a difference between solution and gel. Should i change the water asap?

it will more good than harm. if you're using aero though the gel/powders wont really work.. being washed around. use superthrive!

bro change that water asap, gel is Not water soluable, your going to jack ur pump, or clog ur misters.
I used to dip in gel, then put in the neoprene, and add liquid solution as well, week later all my misters but 2 were clogged

hrmm. i've never had any clogging from clonex before and i've never heard anyone having that issue either.. maybe the gel to water ratio was too high?

I wasnt using clonex, but if the gel is not water soluble, then good chance it will clog ur misters.

Clonex makes TWO products. a GEL and a SOLUTION. You should be using solution for a aero cloner, gel for soil/root riot/ect.
