Hi guys first time taking clones and 10 days in no signs of roots at all by the looks of it, cuttings are in root riot cubes cut at a 45 dipped in clonex rooting gel and sat in a aeroponics cloner with a weak nute solution. They look healthy and have never wilted but showing no signs of roots? Anyone got any ideas as to why they aren’t rooting? Cheers

They're in root cubes in aeroponics why pick one. Stop pulling them out of the cubed as well

No nute solution needed. Suggest intermittent pump. 15 minutes on, 45 off. Plain tapwater.

My aerocloners i dont use domes. They aren’t needed. I cut and stick 4 to 5 days there are roots. the water I toss hormex no 8 in with something close to 300 ppm of nutrients in it and a pinch of pool shock.

Quit misting,not sure why you have them in RR.Plain stem, water sprays keeps them moist.Your just asking for brown stems.

When I look at your clones it looks like they are woody older growth. Don't know what the plant they came from looks like but I find green stemmed clones shown below root easier than older woody stems.

Looks to me like OP scraped the bottom of them stem and it's starting to rot from being over moist.

This rooters are staying too moist. Give them time to dry a lil. Just use a propagation tray with the rooters and dome, or use the cloner without the rooters. You'll get much better results.

Yea me too. I had problems with keeping them over watered when I started using them. Now I know they really don't need that much water.

Those cubes are keeping the stems too wet. Health of the mother and good air/water exchange are key no matter what method you use.
I use tap water or pool shock to help the wounds heal and nub up faster.

Which nutes are you using and what’s the ppm and ph of the solution? You might want to consider environmental factors as well

the biggest problem most people have is that they have non beneficial microbes fucking up any roots that do try to develop...use a little pool shock
they have no roots...it doesn't matter what the ppm or ph is...they aren't absorbing any of the nutrients in the solution.

Clonex claims to have the dogs bullocks of beneficial microbes haha personally I stick to the old organic method using honey
Dont worry to much.
Ive had these in since the beginning og august. Still no roots. For some reason neighter clones og seeds wanna fuck with me in hydro. So i spawn seeds om Coco, i put clones in coco - this seems to work for me. Ill use a mix of Coco, perlite and a good amount of lavarocks. Soil is shit to get of roots. Like litterally u know soil is shitt. But Coco makes transfer to hydro really easy. Just put a fork to the roots and you will clean them up real good befor putting them in hydro.
