I'm so irritated right now I can't get one fucking clone to grow. This is like the sixth month I've tried and I officially give up I just fucking suck apparently. Just took the ones I had left and threw them in the trash I'm done trying after hundreds of dollars wasted and absolutely zero experience gained. I mean zero experience. Normally when I waste money at least I learned something. This is exactly why I didn't buy seeds cause I would've just burnt through even more money. And by the way we're talking like I've filled up all 28 slots in my dome each time and not fucking one has made it. My confidence in this hobby is gone now, I don't even wanna grow the plants I have in my tents anymore. At not one point did I go, "Oh, that's what I screwed up!"- it's just been "Oh, it's probably this" or "Oh, it's probably that" but I keep getting the same result. It's literally becoming insanity, at what point do I realize that I've tried this six times and gotten the same result every time, minus more money and happiness.

I have followed SEVERAL tutorials and guides WORD FOR WORD and can't get one fucking clone to survive. Never get past two weeks. I'm using only legitimate products and brands too. Using Root Riot Plugs- every fucking clone molded and died, using Vivosun Rockwool- every clone bent over and died / molded. This really blows and isn't fun in the slightest. My dream hobby is becoming off putting and I'm now wasting valuable time in my life on something I apparently won't ever get good at. I use GH Trio, Clonex, and PH all of my water and test it every single time before I feed plants. Don't have a single problem with my actual plants that are growing just these fucking clones for some reason. My regular plants are the greenest I've ever had in any previous grow.

I've tried solo cups with plastic bags, I even bought a stupid expensive AC Infinity Dome with a heating pad, I've wasted time and time again and now I'm at the point where just thinking about clones makes me angry and want to stop growing all together. I have no problem growing mature clones that I buy for some reason but literally every cutting I take dies and I'm over it. Maybe this is for someone else but I genuinely I hate trying to make clones now. I've lost about $400 on worthless crap I've bought for these clones. I'm returning every piece of equipment on Amazon that I still can right now. In the past six months there have consistently been maybe like 100 clones not one has made it through. They either dry up, bend over and sag, or turn into a mold monster. Really frustrating.

Sorry for the rant guys! Dream hobby went straight into the trash. This will probably be my final grow with the plants that I do have. Too much money spent and zero results and no knowledge gained (cloning). I literally feel as though I learned not one damn thing in the past six months. I feel like a total idiot right now; I can rip apart a Rolls Royce and stretch it 72 inches and rewire the whole damn car but I can't get a fucking plant to grow with every possible tool on the market in six months. What are the odds?

I am using a AIO Kit from AC Infinity labelled "AC Infinity Germination Dome Kit, Black, Indoor Gardening, Seed Starting, Cloning Plants" which includes Samsung LM301H Lights, a heating pad, and the dome itself. I have had the cuttings under 24/7 lighting. I have been very strict about using the an exact PH as required by whatever type of material I'm using for the cuttings. As far as nutrients, I followed the exact guideline from General Hydroponics specifically for "cuttings / seedlings" which I believe was 1tsp per gallon of all three nutrients in the GH Trio.

Every other plant in my house, especially my cannabis plants: Black Runtz, Candy Runtz, Super Runtz, Black Bubblegum Horchata, and Apple Tartz are looking amazing. Haven't had a single problem and they are currently in their first week of flowering after being in veg in the exact same environment for the past two months. All green, no yellow, no mold, nothing.

It feels so weird seeing friends literally throw cuttings in solo cups and having like a 90% rate and occasionally they just "forgot" about a snipping that just sat in a solo cup for months that looks healthier than mine ever have. Then I'm over here trying to do it in a dome that's supposedly meant for cloning and having worse luck then when I just threw cuttings in a cup and put them in my veg tent which was also a horrible failure.

I was about to give up last time when I was using the Root Riot Plugs but everyone told me the reason I was failing was because I didn't use rockwool cubes. So now I'm on Vivosun Rockwool Cubes like a week in and I've already thrown out more than half of my clones. All clean / sterile equipment, rubbing alcohol with every blade use, clean slanted cuts, soak in water for one minute before Clonex, then soak tip in Clonex for another minute, insert, and leave it alone besides occasional watering. I think cloning just isn't for me. Just sucks because I'd like to be able to keep a favorite strain going for a long time without worrying about someone else's schedule and or supply.
