Cuttings do great in plain H2o, but not in any medium

I have cuttings I have to remove from media, and put in plain water for them to revive. An hour or so after withdrawing them from my rockwool clone tray, Octo-cloner, vermiculite, or warm sand, they are back to normal. Within an hour of being placed back in their respective media, they droop once again. I can't believe how much they seem to thrive in plain ordinary 6.5 tap water, no air bubbler.

all 6 of the other cuttings I've taken the last several days are in the garden as mulch. They didn't live even 48 hours.

I am half-tempted to pull a plant that is very leggy, two months old. that won't produce even enough flowers to make a single bowl on a bong, put it in plain water to see what happens. A poor man's DWC.

Why is it they seem to at least be stable in plain water, but cannot tolerate media?

I do cuttings in water, they all root, but take up to 14 days.

If I did commercial, I would do aero style.

As it is, I root maybe 4-6 cuttings at a time, thermostat controlled
heat mat in cooler temps, natch.

Keep us posted on your continuing quest to roots.

I've rooted cuts in plain water but if I don't change the water regularly it grows algea.

Yup, I change out the water every couple days to avoid the
algae and any bugs that might want to lay eggs in it.
