I dip cuts in Clonex for a minute or 2 each, run mycos in the res, keep water temp below 80F, and run the pump 15/45.... Roots in 5-10 days depending on the strain

Is that 15/45 off for 15mins on for 45mins? What kinda timer are you using. I just bought a clone King and just had it running non stop but I've read it works better when they don't have water misting on them too.

This is one of em I built holds 84.


These roots starting to show have been like this for 2 weeks. Have planted some like this and the roots would not take in soil very good. Had 4 out of about 50 make it. Eventually they brown and die. Tried air pumps in the water but didn't help. Lol

Anyone know what to use to clean out my misters they have this nasty white funk thinking salt build up? But i have some clear rez will that clean out my misters or no

Use a needle like a 22 guage or a clothes pin. Unscrew it and poke it from the bottom it will push the roots to the top and you can blow it out or drag it out with the needle.
The white stuff is roots. They break off and get Into the misters from the pump.

I've had mister cloners for some time now. I have 1 bought one that does 36 at once and I've built my rest.
I will have several hundred clones going at once just trying to get some clones. Nothing to have 600-700 at once.

I have a horrible time in getting roots to show and I've tried pretty much everything. The one thing that I've had the biggest success in is when I havnt used my cloners in several months and I clean them with bleach and wash em out. I will get some success and have some roots. Maybe 10% success. After that first round I havnt had but 2 since May. After already taking a couple thousand cuttings lol ya it's aggrevating and enough to make you destroy some shit But I'm still trying to find out what's going on and all I can find out it's my water.
I live in the country and use well water and the ppm is 52. I've even tried using bleach in small amounts in the water every couple days. Spraying clones with cloning solution in the water. Put solution in my Rez, even had clones in dirt. Matter of fact I have 3 sets of 72 going in dirt using some bleach water. Every other thing is just as bad as using the misters.

I have relatives that grow and cannot get clones to take out here. One guy that lives close by that used to live in Cali always talked about how easy it was well he can't get them to root either. I'm determined to find a way though.

Right now I'm spraying with cloning gel in some water, also have some in the Rez putting a pinch of pool shock in the water and changing water every few days. Have done it every day and it was no difference, distilled water no difference.

Need to find a town somewhere that has good cloning water and get a hundred gal lol

I have a couple of my trees outside where I can't take clones off of em anymore. But I have around 12 more that I can still take cuttings off of. Middle branches are already clean but still have some too thick on the outside I have take off soon as it's almost time for flowering to start.


But ya if I could nail down a sure fire way to get clones it would be awesome. You guys who can just stick your stem down and have misters spray on em and have roots in a few days are some lucky SOB. LOL
