Cloning trouble!!

Help I'm having trouble cloning lately? I used to be able to clone at 90-95% but the last year I can't seem to get them going? What is the best rooting solution to give them during the rooting process? I used to use KLN but started having low rooting rates and now I'm using Olivia's solution/ rooting gel and am having similar results. I have been using oasis cubes with a dome on top. This time around I have a heat mat under them. I pulled one after 2 weeks and no roots? Can't seem to figure out my problem? Any cloning tips? I'm doing blue dream for the first time.

cloning from fem seeds or regular seeds?

it may be your process, it might be the blades/cuts, they might be exposed to air for too long, the ph could be way off. You don't need the heat mat IMO. Sometimes, that higher temperature can just cause more bacteria to grow.

can you elaborate on these things a bit?

Why does that matter?

I don't use any solution because the plants make their own hormone. most ppl just don't know it

Clonex solution and root tec gel. Make your cuts like this and u will get this
u only need to dip the 45 degree cut and the bottom node. Trim the leafs a little on the edges. The pic I took I didn't yet. Oh and lightly scrape the bottom.

I made an elaborate aeroponic cloner and it worked great. I used the same small tote with nothing but water and an air stone like a DWC and it works just as well.

I never had luck with jiffy pucks or sticking straight in soil. If I want to put in soil I just transplant once roots start to pop.

I don't use any solutions. PH is the only thing I adjust.

I'm using regular seeds 1st cut clone mother. It produces top notch blue dream the last time I cut clones all 20 survived in oasis cubes. It was the first time I had used them and I thought my issues were over. This time its going on three weeks and the three I checked hadn't rooted yet. The PH is at 6-6.2. Is that a good range? The leaves are turning yellow like there starting to root. Maybe I should hit them with a light dose of maxi?

Hi Dannyboy...I don't know all the products, but the Rootone I prefer also has an anti-fungal to prevent stem rot. Isn't it worth using just for that?
