Clone in water cup (is it root or mold)?

[DazLovesWeed]

Hi all,

my first time taking a clone and I read online you can simply PH some water and chuck your clone in that for a few weeks to root.
(I did also read having it oxygenated is preferable but not essential).
Anyway I’m about a week in roughly since taking the cut, do I have a problem here is that mold forming about the base or is this normal and the beginning of rooting?

Thanks

If it is mold what do I do

I don’t see anything, I think your all good. If it is mold you throw it in the garbage lol

put a few drops of.hydrogen peroxide in the water

Not roots. Change the water.

I have bro and it followed it with it. Should I give it a wipe down and switch again ?

I've seen that brown colour at the bottom it isn't mould, it's normal for that to be happen.
Give it time, if you look closely at the stem bottom you'll see a warty type surface forming when it's ready to root.

Thanks I never knew this I’ll get some ASAP. Do you think it’ll save the current one or just help going forward with new ones

Thank you but I meant just above the brown colour at the bottom, there is a white fuzz slightly above this

Raise the water level. Change water daily. No less than every other day. You don’t need to do anything about pH.

Ah right I see what you mean now, that's not unusual ime with bubble cloners, idk what the cause is but it ime it doesn't stop them rooting.

Edit... A few drops of bleach works well.

Do not wipe stems after initial clipping
It will lessen the chance for success

I’ve got some of that in the house so I’ll put a few drops in tonight

Looking about a CM above the base not the base itself. My bad

If your clone is going bad, pull it out and gently touch the end. If something like snot follows your finger off the cutting, it's going bad.
As stated, change the water frequently.

it will help
if its mushy cut the bottom off and try again if its not all wilted

bleach works but you can do damage with it too

I’ve gone for bleach because it’s what I had to hand. Reckon I should cut the cut again above the white looking stuff ? I’ll post a picture in the morning and see how good a job the bleach done and change cups again
