Hey all, hoping I can pick a few brains here, having a few problems with a new bubble cloner I've started messing around with about a week ago.
Its a pretty simple setup of a small bucket, polystyrene top etc..
I PH.ed to around 6.0 at the start of things, temps in the water seem to hold around mid 70's F (max fluctuation I have seen in a week was about 10degrees F)
I've tried split stems, with a bit of scuffing etc.. to expose the cambium layer (sp?) and have approx 1" airgap between the water and the polystyrene, with the stems probably about 1/4" from the water.
So far, a few leaves are starting to lighten off etc.. but no sign of any roots or even "bumps" after a week, the stems dont seem really mushy like they are about to squash, but the edges do feel a bit soft and squishy.
I can try and grab some pics later if needed?
Thanks all.
