Never had this many issues before but they just wont root, well some of them. Still just sitting there. Usually bout 2 weeks and roots are full.
Its really weird but they are not dying, started yellowing up.
My question now is would 30 min off be too long for the cuts to be exposed to air?
I don't know, i'v always gone 24/7 , and with a HEALTHY mother,
14 days max, full roots.

I have cloned in rockwool, peat plugs, aero, toilet paper, never got roots that fast. Usually 10 days they start popping out and by about 14 days they are fully rooted. But now like 1 month in aero and hardly the white bumps. I just took a new set from like 4 different mothers also 1 week ago.
Right now
72 degrees
7.2 ph
straight water

Just curious man, but why not stick with something you know and have success with like rockwool?

After two weeks if I have clones that don't show roots I dump them.

@a senile fungus - Yes keep it running 24/7.
@BobBitchen is the expert with this system. Check out his thread. He posts all of his secrets there :)
Using ProTekt in the water is a big key.

@Dr.D81 - Great news!!! Are you in Eugene?

The ducks were just visiting. Now we have a stray cat I call Tom Cruise.

The screen room has the new screen attached! I had to get a new staple gun. The thing is so fast and light!

More space in veg closet, and I need a lot of clones. I have done aero before, its way better than humid-domes, imo. Like I said some rooted and some didnt, this is just some weird shit. If the rest dont root, I am gonna just plant em and put em under the dome, but still think they will root.
So far I got 5 like this planted already, the one one the right have been in there for over 3 weeks.

If you don't have roots in 5 days there is something wrong with the plant. The only time I have had trouble getting a clone to root was when it was too far along in flower or I had a mite problem.

Here is what these looked like when I started them:



Then a day later:




Four days later:



Seven days later:

I dont see roots til day 8-9. They take off after that. Fireballs had roots after 5 days. Quantum kush took over 2 weeks. It depends on strain for how long it takes

water temp is a huge factor. I have a 15 min timer on the pump. Not to drown the cuts. And keep the pump from getting hot.

I have air stones going and keep frozen water bottles in the resi. The roots seem to grow faster when the water is colder. The air stones prevent slime. plus oxygen. If you forget to plug the pump back in. Any cuts with roots in the water below wont suffer with the air stones going.

I also foliar twice a day for humidity and nutes.

I dont do resi changes. I just add more water.

Its gotta be mites then, found some in there. Its the only real explanation for the results. I treated all rooms again last night.
Just had a dream about webs.

who has l.a. Con clones. I think I may have mixed them.up with 9lb. I dont have l.a. Con at all. The l.a. Con I got were in flower.so I had to reveg. So the next round of clones grew differently. No big indica leaves. Doesn't have that spearmint / kush smell. The one I thought is l.a. con smells like grape fun dip. Kinda bummed now...
