At least it's like the other forum. It should be easy to figure out. My albums are still unusable. I've given up on them ..

I'm still having issues getting cuts rooted.. Could it be the Clonex?. I have a quart and a 2.5g jug.. The Quart is not as dark.. I cleaned everything again and used the quart bottle. If I get the same results im stumped.

I've had issues with larger container's of cloning solution in the past. I'd have issues with stuff not rooting after a while, so I switched to the small containers. I also keep some of the powder stuff around too (Like you'd find at wal-mart or home depot).

I did a side by side dipping clones in clonex and fresh aloe Vera and got equal results

Try using something with a rooting hormone. Indole Butyric Acid (IBA).
Clonex solution is just food for rooted clones it has no IBA in it.

Hey fellas, long time, no see! We woke up to 4" of snow today, and it's already gone again!
Between the garden and outdoor chores, I'm running around with my head cut off. I just helped my brother put a pump into his well, and wrenched my wrist fitting the lines upside down in a hole. Worth it though, as he couldn't have his kids over for any length of time- until it was fixed. After a long fight with the lines, we got them joined, only to have one blow off under the house! Long story short, we got 'er though! The old lady is just going to have to service the King more often until the wrist is better;)

Clonex solution is just food for rooted clones it has no IBA in it.

With cloners we dont use dips or similar stuff. The spray just washes it off.. I do use a combo of Foop/Hormex#16 when using plugs. The temp when using plugs is critical. I get better results in winter with plugs. Summer the cloner works better. Nothing is working now.

I took another 6 cuttings. Added those to the plug dome.

Years back when I had that hplvd dud outbreak, first thing that caught my attention to something not being right was nothing wanted to root…

All I use are rapid rooters to root now cause anything that was infected that I put into the aerocloner, seemed to travel thru the water and infect the healthy cuts in there with them. It was a mess

I've had a few root but I need a much better rate. I've not had any issues with dudds ever... Most of what I grow is from seeds. I do have WT and Chimera clones. Those are doing fine. Its easy t see when there are viroids present. I'll never rule out anything. I can't do much more than keep trying.

The odd thing is when I take the cloner off line and let it sit to dry out and then start it up all the cuts root with no issues. That's what I did last time.. Ill do that again soon. I have to give this batch of cuts time to see if its the Clonex.

I’ve learned everyone has their own technique…tried straight tap water and no ph-ing the water in beginning no luck at all…it got better using Poland spring water with water ph around 6.0…now my best results is using 75% RO water, 25% tap water(tap water has ph of 8.2). Then let the EZclone 128 site(15 gallons to fill)and run a full day like that. Then I ph water to 5.5 and add clear rez at a rate of 1oz. per 5 gallons along with Z7 at a rate of 2ml per 5 gallons faithfully once a week. When I put cuttings in cloner I shut cloner off and dip cuttings in some IBA(using ez clone rooting hormone)…you can use any rooting hormone ya want…I don’t turn the cloner back on till all cutting have been dipped…which is usually about 1.5 hours…I think that gives the dip a little time to adhere to the cuttings and no light directly over them for 24 hours… they wilt a little the next day but once the light is turned on over them they react well and begin to stand tall until they root usually about 10-14 days except of course Hammer’s Kush which takes between 14 and 21 days…
