Anyone ever have a problem with Stem Rot with Aerocloning?

[Miss Blunted]

Clean it, need a new pump or your sprayers aren't covering every sight. Had the same thing happen with a cleaned cloner...pump was junk and we re-did the sprayers.

Shit man, those sprayers cover all of it, when i get home from work im going to take some pics, take the temp again..and just wait another week or so



but yea, 14day mark tomarrow

i've had all kinds of issues, AND was fortunete enough to pinpoint them..

do not worry about temps, mine gets up to 85 with the pump on in the water...

the problem is additves in the water, the onloy additive i use is hygrozyme or nothing at all along with a couple drops of superthrive. I added dutch master zone in the past but it has a small bit of nutrient in it and that was just enough to cause stem rot. cleaned the res, ran nothing but RO and superthrive and clones in a week

I get 100% rooting in 5-10 days with ro water 5 ml flora bloom in four gallons one small drop of Physan 20 spray clones with jump start. res temps are 72-78. the Physan 20 keep the nastys at bay while the cut hardens off preventing stem rot and does not affect rooting at all!

Ok, so i checked Temp, its 71, and this is 2 weeks of 24/7 Spraying, i notice 2 clones where dead, stem was Mushy and leaf matter was dead/dieing.



So i JUST cleaned the Rez, washed the walls ( btw it smelt like pool water, could this be my problem? ) Added fresh water, Ph'd Down to 5.7 added 4 drops of Superthrive..


and we wait...still 1 clone is only showing roots out of atleast 20.


Here are some pictures.

I could never clean and recapture, once the tips had started the rot that was the end of it.. time to clean everything out and start with a fresh batch.

Take a look at the signature below.

So, the stem is completly mush, rotten and not even firm, out of 20 or so cutting, 4-6 are alive...if you ask me, that isnt good at all.



Any idea's? Tips? Temps where good, although i did find these bugs..


Ear wigs?

 

[richyrich]

1. Get rid of the pincher bugs.
2. Clean everything with Physan20 or H2O2 if not available.
3. Take new healthy cuts.
4. Follow the advice exactly in the link in my signature, Problems With EZ Cloner.

Lets us know how it worked out.

 

[Merfolk]

any idea on the pincher bugs? there isnt one or two, there through out the house, it might be where i live because i find them outside everywhere as well....



Do they hurt anything? i notice they like to be where its moist...

The bugs are ear wigs. They're having a feast on the dead stems.
