When I got my EZ-Cloner 30 I had awesome success for about 3 years. Since then it's been fairly good but every once in a while I can't get shit to root.

I'm guessing my water quality has something to do with my success/failure ratio as I typically use hard tap water.

I've experienced good results once again using the dead res method of cloning.
It works pretty damn fine from my point of view. Without using the dead res method, H2O temps are probably going to cause issues,

I use a cycle timer on mine (15 on 15 off). The propagation area it's in is on 18/6 light schedule. Ambient temps in area are 67F-72F. Temp of rez stays around 70F. Only thing i put in rez is an air stone and some bloom nutes at around 1/8 strength. I keep the pH between 6.0-6.2 Cuts stay nice and green with no yellowing at all and they usually take 10 days to root.

Because my rez temps are so low, I never get any slime or bacteria. I only top off the rez with same strength nute solution and I only clean it every three months or so. I run a perpetual grow so I always have rooted and unrooted cuts in cloner.

I run 4 of the 25 site ones. 2 running for 2+yrs. Use dip n grow cloning solution. Pony up the 10.00, it's good for up to 1000 cuttings, roots faster than 10 other cloning dips/gels/ect I've tried in 4 yrs.

One strain, 3 days from cut I have nubs, 5 days a beard, 8 days I pot in solo cups.

Built my own cloning bucket and have had great success until I chose to clone a sativa then all hell went down, I have heard that they don't clone well and have to wait a long time to see roots popping. My Indica's are beautiful and really do well. My Ph is 6.5 constantly sprayed with the pump in 75-80 degree temps. My mother plant for Sativa is an extra from each session of cloning that provides children for the new cycle. The only thing I can say is that my Sativa has been cloned dozen and dozens of time, perhaps its running out of juice? Any help would be appreciated

If your ambient temps are lower than in the mid 70's it will take forever to get roots or they will not root at all. You need to add a water heater to dial in the temps. 75-80 and you will have roots in 7 days. Also you have to clean and bleach your cloner after every use or you will get rot.

Still doing it just like it. Although, cuts have been taking a little longer to root. My guess would be when they were rooting in 10 days the RH was 60%. Now since winter is here, the RH is 30%...sometimes lower. But hey, they're still rooting.

Started thinking about maybe coming up with a way to throw a humidity dome on that thing for when the humidity drops, but havent come up with anything yet.
