First time bubble cloning, I made this bubble cloner several years ago but have never used it
I run into a cloning issue with a white fuzz in the spring and the fall quite frequently, and I have recently, so this bubble cloner is what I'm going to use until late fall
I suspect I could alleviate the white fuzz in my other cloning method (root-riots/domed tray) by reducing humidity and/or adding a bit of hydrogen peroxide to the standing water in tray, but I wanted to try out this bubbler for fun anyway!
-It holds nine quartz with 6 drops of hydrogen peroxide, pH 6.5 at 80° (inkbird controled)
Some of these cuts are smaller than I would have liked but it's what I had to work with at the moment, if they fail I'll take more
The cuts are Gorilla Glue, Black D.O.G., Indian Bubblegum, and Romberry
All the cut tips were dipped in clonex and are underwater about 1/2 inch or more, standard aquarium pump & air tube
tl'dr / Questions:
Would a pH of 5.8 - 6 be better?
I have one of those cheesy air tubes, would a better air stone give water more oxygen saturation, or is the level I have adequate? (there's lots of bubbles)
I'm planning on adding three or four drops of hydrogen peroxide per day (yes, no, why & how much?)
Is clonex necessary on cuttings in Hydro?
Any critique, tips or techniques you can add are appreciated, thanks for reading
