I just wanted to say in a cloning thread here that I have tried every kind of cloning medium except for the ez cloners but have heard mixed reviews to say it nicely. Ok to start with I hate oasis cubes, and its funny at first I thought they were bomb. First box taken looked amazing, no drooping, just brilliant looking plants. The problem is the Oasis cubes hold waaaaaaaay to much water and if you squeeze them they will really become dense. I tried to cut them down to a smaller size to encourage drying, not happening. The still weren't rooting fast enough and I was getting damping off which I NEVER EVER get. out of a whole sheet and 48 clones 0 rooted in 3 weeks each box. Like I said they would just sit they're then get funky. Rockwool is much better but still problematic, the 1.5' were what I used but I think the smaller the better with rockwool so the 1' would be the best in my mind. They did ok but just took too long, and I use a heat mat and keep ideal conditions, over the course of these tests I found something that can help people. THE DISTANCE OF YOUR LIGHT SOURCE IS KEY TO YOUR CLONES NOT FALLING OVER. I cannot stress this enough, its so true. I have 2 foot 25 watt single t5 above each tray and I like it at least 12 inches preferbly more starting out. If you have your light right on top of your clones as soon as they are cut and they are getting limp and not reaching for the light, thats why. The RW took right at 17-20 days for a whole tray to root, (I use clonex gel by the way on all). Finally, the Organo starter plugs THE KING!!!! Soak in 1 ml per gallon GH micro and floralicious with great white. I used this for all around soak. Ph to 5.8, With the organo plugs I see roots by the 8th DAY and at worst 12. Thats a huge improvement, not to mention 100% success rates. You need to check the plugs when you buy them, if they are rubbery and stiff DO NOT USE THEM, find others.
