Do you use Olivia's cloning solution full strength?

[crippled1]

When I mixed this per the label 6 oz per gallon, the ppm reading was 2400!!
And this was R/O water!
I called Olivia's to question this.
The response I got seemed unusual.
I was told to mix it per the label and that the ppms could be as high as 2000 but I should not worry about it and use it as directed.
I didn't really like that answer and continue to use it at less than full strength.
I'd like to hear from other users of this product to see how you folks are using it.

I tossed that shit into the trash, that is how I used it. After I opened it, and did not read that it needed refridgeration after opening, and it mutated a batch of clones. That was years ago, maybe it has improved. I do not use any rooting hormone.

I use the olivia's rooting gel with much success. Soak my rapid rooters in RO water with Liquid Karma added. @ least 99% every time, out of plain ole plastic trays/domes.

I love Olivias cloning gel. You do not dilute the gel.

Their cloning nutes (which I think you're talking about), not so much. I don't recall checking the ppms, but my plants didn't like it as much as a 1-1-1 GH mix. It went in the trash.

Never looked before today but, I can find no proof that Olivia's is anything more than water.

That said, I'm a big Hormex fan (NAA,IBA,B1) but it doesn't go into the res, it's used as a full strength soak before going in the cloner. Success rate jumped 60%.
