need water temp to be 78-85 degrees for some strains to even THINK about cloning, get water PH to 6.0.

What is their lighting situation?

I do not agree with 75+ water temps.

If you have your water that warm other stuff will grow in it, like slime.

I keep mine around 72.

Exactly how are they starting to die ?


If you mean the leafs are turning yellow, they are not dying. They are starting to root.

My cuttings are never rooted after two weeks, instead thats when some of my leafs turn yellow and rooting starts. By the end of 3 weeks they are ready for trasnplant.

I use a bubble cloner with near 100% success.

More opinions on pump times please...

I have rooted 3 runs of cuttings leaving my pump on 24/7 but it can take up to 3 weeks for roots to forum so if other people are having better (faster) success by turning it on and off I would like to hear your schedules.
I have also successfully rooted parsley from the produce section, as well as cat nip cuttings taken fresh from the display at the hydro store AND a Rosemary cutting, but that one took several tries, Rosemary is notoriously hard to grow at all though. All running the pump constant.

I also run the pump 24 hours a day,
I also got a heating pad under my 5 gallon bucket that keeps it around 72 ish
and I also dip them in clonex when taken and let them sit for 15 min before I turn the pump on
and a lid full of Tiger Bloom and I get roots within 8 days
and I use a 125 CFL veg light
