I am having trouble with my cloning efforts. They have been in about 2 weeks and 3 are popping roots and others have bumps close to rooting. Using a bubble cloner, no dome, 30-40% humidity, water temp stays around 65 degrees F and temps stay at 70 degrees F in the room. I change the water every few days and ph it to 5.8-6.0. Using a compact florescent light about 2 feet from the box. Enough light for them to live but not enough to make them produce leaves affecting the rooting. Using clonex gel to promote root growth.
The problem I am having is the clones are drooping badly and a few are dead. There is a white looking residue on the stems and where leaves connect to the stems. When the clones die you can see in the picture below that the stem thins in the middle cutting off the rest of the clone killing it. You can see in the 2st photo the stem thinning which is how they are dyeing. In the 1st photo is a magnified image I took with my usb microscope showing the white stuff up close.
