First thing I would try is not using the heat pad. I never dip in my bottle I put some in a shot glass then throw it out. You don't want to contaminate your whole bottle of clonex. I take my dome off every day and lightly mist my cuts. I don't squeeze out hardly any water out of my plugs.Not double dipping into clonex bottle, taking domes off after 5 days, using root riot plugs, I sterilize my tools, I squish out extra water at beginning, heat pads are used.
Top growth browns out and clone is finnished. Losing half of my cuts.
If your dome temp tops 78-80 they will brown and mush everytime.Not double dipping into clonex bottle, taking domes off after 5 days, using root riot plugs, I sterilize my tools, I squish out extra water at beginning, heat pads are used.

temps. vary through the year.If your dome temp tops 78-80 they will brown and mush everytime.
mats at 70, one t5 a foot above domesWhat light are you using? For years I overlit my cuttings and the new growth would quickly brown once rooted. Not all of them usually the biggest ones maybe 20%, if I didn't get em out of the dome in time. They'd all root tho. Now I keep a two bulb t5 2feet off the domes and have a massive improvement. Every one roots and 95% of them look flawless when planted. The heating mats work great in cold weather if you have them on a thermostat otherwise they can cause problems too. As can dome temps over 80* as mentioned above. I mist em with chloraminated tap water and soak the jiffys in tap too so that might kill some pathogens.
