Machnak- the bubble cloner is much much different.

It is, what I'd like to call. "Wet Propagation". Meaning, propagation with no medium, but with O2 enriched H20.

Growing in media such as rockwool or willow bark, or peat, would be "Dry Propagation"

This cloning process involves a medium holding 02 enriched water.


If the medium is waterlogged, there'll be no oxygen present. So you want a light balance of damp/dry conditions in the media for the fastest results. Damp indicates that there is water present, and plenty of oxygen, as a bubblecloner would. But it's a method whose conditions are dry when compared to the wet propagation method.



Nothing fancy here with the rhetoric. Pretyty straightforward, and the only way I can explain it.


Peace.

How are the bottoms of the stems on the cuttings? Are they going black, looking like they are rotting? Perhaps try taking a cutting and if it does look like this, re-snip the bottom and then re-plug. Do you use rooting hormone? If not, you could lawyas try making a tincture out of willow bark which contains natural rooting hormone. If you have got 30 cuttings it may be worth while experimenting with a few to see if you can get em back on the road again.....

Good luck with it!

And Hitman8, I totally agree, if you don't learn something new everyday you are stagnating in my opinion......

Just plant them in soil. Rescrape the bottom of the stem in water if you have to first but clones can be pretty resilient if you catch it in time you can just restart the cloning proces. Jiust try and make sure you dont get any sir bubbles in it,use a gel or a powder again if you got it. I didnt and all of them lived on after transplanting the sick little things from wet plugs to soil and peat moss cup.

Yellowing could be lack of light to bro, How far are your lights from your clones? I have to keep my 125w Cfls 4-6 inches away or my cuttings or they will turn yellow and wilt away.

One 26 watt cfl will do for a dozen cuttings, same distance. They really dont need to be doing a lot of photosynthesizing and making new leaf material which uses up water, with little root material to replace it. Im not sure how many cuttings you do though.
