Thanks for the input, considered that but whereas there are no roots I'm not sure if it matters? LOL My first impulse was 7.0, but I wanted to see what other bubbleheads were doingI haven't cloned with this method but if it's any help I have found 5.8 to be the sweet spot for my hydro. I do let it drift up to 6 but at 5.8 I have had no ph related issues.
I have always cut the fan leaves to cut down on photosynthesis and focus more on root growth. Works for me but I can't tell you how much of a difference it makes
That's basically why I cut mine LOL (and it's still a challenge!). I've heard that too much leaf area makes for too large of a water demand on a cut trying to rootI always thought the leaf tips were cut to avoid crowding in a dome tray. ?
I used Clonex, and no dome.I used a bubble kroner for a good while and it worked great.i just used un ph,d tap water.i would adjust the tip of the stems so they just slightly brush the surface of the water.the splashes from the bubbles are what gets the roots going.i would change the water every 3 or 4 days.i used an aquarium thermometer in the water but I can't remember what temps I kept though.lol.the bubble cloners work well wen set up right.i never ever used a dome which will help u keep that mould off your rooting clones.
Also don't use rooting powder.use clonex gel.its stays on the stem much longer than any other rooting gel or powder I,v used.
You want the tip just brushing the surface so the very small splashes from the bursting bubbles are hitting the stem were u want the roots from.I have my tips about 1/4 to 1/2 inch under water, this is the first I've heard of tips above the surface of the water in a bubbler?
Thanks for explaining that, they're different strains so I'm not sure that their rate of rooting would be representative this run?You want the tip just brushing the surface so the very small splashes from the bursting bubbles are hitting the stem were u want the roots from.
I'm not saying having the stems in the bubbling water won't work,obviously it does or u wouldn't be doing it.u should try a couple in the water and a couple just brushing the surface to see which roots first
So the first attempt with my homemade bubbler went well! This little black dog has more than nubs now! :)

Thanks but I didn't really do much?! LOL I can't believe how good it worked, particularly after I just lost a whole tray of cuts in root riots! Really needed to see some roots in this set to get things moving, now I can make some room!!Thats great work man. Nice
