I agree with Ringlead3r , in an aero cloner using cloning agents offers no benifit , the water rinses off all the stalks & dilutes the agent so much its of little value .
But if using other methods to clone i'd use Clonex simply because i know it contains " Indole #3 Butyric Acid " , any cloning agent containing Indole #3 Butyric Acid will outperform all other agents , Clonex works like a mo fo but it's extremely over priced , you can buy cloning powder containing the same amount of active ingredient ( again Indole #3 ) at Home Depot for $5 & it works just as good as $25 Clonex , the Home Depot brand is called Natures Pride , if the Olivias brand has the same active ingredient as the Clonex then both will work the same so i'd use the cheaper of the 2 .

My bottle of olivias is a water additive not a powder or gel so gotta ask how does it wash off the stalks? In saying that I dont use anything in cloner, only when putting straight into dirt I'll use powder.
