They took off the coco forum which happens to be a form of hydro. Kinda glad nobody needs to know about it. Hush hush. Coco what?

I have used both a timer and 24/7 on my cloner and they both work well. If it's hot you need to use a timer to keep the water temps down. If it's cold run the pump 24/7 to keep the water warm. You want your water a little on the warm side. As Mr. Head mentioned, OG strains are little bitches! Any of the woody stem varieties can take a long time and some just refuse to pop. All the Kosher Kush, Holy Grail Kush, OG Kush, have taken at least 3 weeks to pop. Don't be surprised to see root or stem rot before you get roots if you're not careful. That's why it's important to keep your cloner sterile.Just keep trying some OG's can be a bitch to clone I've had OG's take 21 days + in dirt to root. My suggestion would be to take more cuttings, if the leaves have fallen off that's not good. Take twice as many cuttings as you need, persoanlly I take 4x. and choose the best looking clones when rooted the rest get tossed.
I'd start fresh and find some sort of humidity dome to trap it in, whether that be a ziplock or plastic tub. If the leaves are falling off it would seem like the cuttings are too dry above the cloner, that's my 2 cents anyways.
I take the 2"-4" cuttings and place them in the Neoprene sleeves and into the 2" netpots. No spraying, dipping or anything! Just stick them in the cloner and your done.
My cloner is homemade. I have a 100% success rate with this system. I use tap water with 150ml of Clonex clone solution although no rooting hormone is actually needed. It does root a little faster with the solution.
The cloner is running on the same timer I use for all of my Aero setups. 1 min on and 5 mins off.
The clone system is under a 24", 2-light, HO fluorescents.
I use EZ-Clone sprayers for everything. I run a 396 GPH pump for all the systems also.
Use an 18gal. Rubbermaid Ruffneck container for your clone unit. Everything else will leak! Trust me on this, I've tried them all.
1/2" PVC pipe is used for sprayer assembly. Use an 11/64" drill bit for the sprayers. Just screw the sprayers right into the PVC pipe.
Check out the plans for a more detailed example.
Thanks Stink. I was thinking I did something wrong since it's been taking forever and I get only 50% success rate. I guess it's the strain then.I have used both a timer and 24/7 on my cloner and they both work well. If it's hot you need to use a timer to keep the water temps down.

On the other hand my Purple Wreck popped in 4 days! I had a strain called Acorn that always popped in less than a week. One of the things I look for in a strain is how well it clones. I've been sifting through strains for what seems like a lifetime and I've came up with a couple of freaks-of-nature strains. I'm going to back-cross a few of my favorites and also mix them with some Tangie, Holy Grail Kush, Kosher Kush, Blue Cheese and Green Love Potion. That's right fellas...my next batch will be a tent full of seeds. Stay tuned...
Thx Mr. Head. I am taking 3x what I need.Just keep trying some OG's can be a bitch to clone I've had OG's take 21 days + in dirt to root.

Yea, it's because there are no nutrients. The yellowing is caused by lack of Nitrogen. It won't hurt anything and is to be expected after a couple of weeks. As soon as they pop roots start feeding them and the yellow leaves will turn green. If they fall off no big deal.Stink, do you know why after about two weeks they start turning yellow and leaves die off? Are my lights too strong? I have two t5 bulbs about 18" away. Should I raise it more?
Thanks Stink. I use two t5 bulbs. How far should they be from the top of the clones?Yea, it's because there are no nutrients. The yellowing is caused by lack of Nitrogen.

Way to ruin my fantasy. well, just shows looks can be deceiving. Truth of the story is that your setup is clean and well thought out.The chair is a cheap piece of shit! Ive broken 2 of the same chair.
