Hello all,

We built our bubble cloner 5 days ago and have a few questions for you guys. First is our ph, it went from 5.5 to 6.9 in less than 24 hours. Is this normal? We dont have roots yet, the clones have been in there for 6 days now. So does ph at this point really matter? Our rez holds about a gallon, and we put 3 drops of superthrive and 3ml of hygrozyme. We have been noticing algae forming in the rez, nothing green or anything just looks kinda slimy. The tub that its in is almost 100% light proof, and the temp is around 79f. We dont think the light is causing the slime. We've seen alot of bubble cloners online that were clear, and had healthy clones with roots. So whats the problem? Is the slime normal? Or harmful?

Thanks in advance everyone!

the slime is a bacitia/pythium causes are the water is hot and your adding a
organic of some sort. I used to use superthrive but I always got slime stem
rot, so now I only use it as a foiler spay! yes I have a DIY one. theres a bunch
of info you might want to read in serapis thread mushing of serapis, he uses
bleach to keep the water sterile and is geting good results so check it out
I think all the info you need is there!

you can use straight tap water in a bubble cloner and it works fine. in 2 weeks you will have roots. less if u use some ionic cloning solution.
