I always wanted one of these but I know with as warm as it gets here and with my luck I would have water pathogen problems but they do kick butt though once you get it figured out.
My bro just gives up on the water cloner for the June-Sep period for the same reason.

If you can prevent slime, then a water cloner can clone anything.

Getting the time needed for the very-slow rooters is nigh unto impossible
when bacteria is actively melting things.

It's pretty simple bro, I find it much easier doing cuttings in soil. Take the cutting, dip in clonex and put into the soil. Keep the soil fairly damp for the first few days and mist the leaves every day. If you have them in a humidi dome, you open the vents after about 5 days, then slowly over the next two days, remove the lid entirely starting with an hour, 2 hours etc until the cuttings stay up right and dont droop. I get roots within 7-10 days doing it this way, works a treat! You can also use root riot plugs, they work awesome!!
I do straight to soil too. no humid dome though. i find it slows everything down. It is the moisture stress that get them to send out the roots. I dont even use cloning solution. I did a side by side a while back and the ones without the cloning gel rooted faster by a few days.

Two week old clones. straight to soil. no humid dome no misting one water to soil on day 3 and day 10. no rooting gel... malawi and a blue dreamxbiker la blanc. only lost one leaf. looking like the second leaf is starting to green up again.
What soil do you use?
I assume something mild?
Next time Ill try a few styles and see if I get some success one or more of the ways.
I just threw out my Dog cuts after 14 days they look bad and have slime on roots in water

Well for years id mix perlite, kitty litter and miracle grow moisture control... but now i am giving a try with happy frog. it was cheap and at the right place right time kind of deal. My buddy back home who is organic grower uses the same mixture with his hot soil. I never liked his mix but it works for him. He is where i picked up on this way to clone. he learned it from his dad and so forth. they are farmers back in il.

Have you used the Happy Frog with success yet, or trial in motion still?

@eastcoastmo or anybody know what the dilution rate for colloidal silver should be when mixing it with water?
No dillution mate, you want to use it straight. I only dillute if I'm running out :)

I use my own supersoil and it works fine. I've also used seed raising mix which works well too!

Describing yourself or me?
I have 2 bad lumbar disks, one wedged thoracic disk, and sciatica.
No fun, and now I am nursing a broken at among other crap lol.
Nope me... ive been battling it for the last 11 years... thats why i love this plant so much... Ive found for me high CBG strains work the best... Thats what the blue dream cross with biker la blanc has a high level. Im hoping to be breading and test for a high cbg strain for my pain.

I read after a few yrs spine will stabilize somewhat and relieve most pain, I guess that isnt true.
Back issues since 20 (43 now) and till a yr ago I was dealing with it but not it went over the edge and shows no of anything but getting worse.
Honestly I feel little or no relief from anything.
I cant smoke too much though as I have a vertigo problem thats not resolved, and weed often exacerbates it now unfortunately
Vertigo started like 8-10 yrs ago when I was drinking heavy, quitting that seemed to help a little, and quitting the pharma pills helped a lil more, but its back and always dizzy now.
