Last week I lost a few clones from some white spider web fuzzy stuff now today lost another that had a slimy stem and fell over. I have never had problems cloning before:-(

Are the two the same thing or caused by the same thing?

I use pro-mix as my soil medium in 3 inch peat cups with Olivias cloning gel under a humidity dome that is vented with a heat mat underneath.
Is it too much heat? The peat cups barely feel warm.
Should I use a different medium than pro-mix even though it has worked before?
Do I have to sterilize my humidity dome now with alcohol or H2O2 or something.
Any help appreciated....:leaf:

You should just make a bubble cloner I have a 90% success rate with it so far and I don't need rooting hormone just water.

I can't get a bubble cloner or make one right now. I have to figure out what is going on or a better way. I have some strains that may go extinct if I don't figure this out.

You do realize while you have white fuzzy webbing don't you? Sounds like mites. And the slimy stem sounds like a fungus issue. when was the last time your grow area had a good cleaning with bleach and h2o2?

Thanks for help! It is not spider mites, it is at the base of the clones stems only. I probably do need to do a clean up, got bleach!
Anybody got a suggestion for a different cloning grow medium?

Nope no pimples, the guy at the grow shop said he has seen the white fuzz before but didn't have a name for it. I have the meat mat off for now, may be too warm in the dome. I am going to try having the heat mat 15 minutes on 15 minutes off for a while.
I also need to find a new cloning medium fast.

Add 3% HOOH at ratio of 1 :5 of water to sterilize your media ( Net .3%) when u start. Dont mist toomuch direct;y- A little dry is actually good

Thanks dart420, I've never heard of root riot cubes but will google them later.
Devilspawn good one, I probably should sterilize the pro-mix, it's been sitting around a while.
elffroggo, Just sand for a medium? Does it stay moist well?
Thanks for the help all....:leaf:
