Hi all, this being my first post, still learning about clones. I’ve bought 8 clones of which 2 are dying. What can I do with the rest to keep em alive? I use water from dehydrator. They’re 2 weeks old now. Last week added a little milk and spinach leaves. They contain potassium calcium and magnesium, elements that are low in the relatively cheap supermarket soil. Temp is around 65-70. I also use a root warming pad.

I think the roots should be cool. When I first started I used cheap soil with the same results. Since then I'v used Fox Farms - Happy Frog soil. A little expensive but great results.

About 2 weeks now. Had a dome first few days. Now just under 100W fluorescent without dome. Mixed true living outdoors professional potting mix (with fertilizer) and vermiculite. Dehumidifier water. No fan yet, i don't want to dry them out. Looking at the pic in the post after yours, I think I'll need more nitrogen. Will add horse shit compost to the water.

Soil is "true living outdoors professional potting mix (with fertilizer)" and vermiculite. Dehumidifier water, mixed with milk and cut up spinach leaves.

sounds like a recipe for disaster.
just use normal water, your soil has fertilizer in it..
roots are probably not getting enough oxygen, as one of your issues.

Thx 4 thinking with me.
I'll have to pH test the water, it's pumped up from the middle of the CA Delta.
Will try Foxfarms Happy Frog. Hopefully, after I transplant the poor things, oxygen will not be a problem.
Previously I used perlite, and Dutch potting soil which is much darker, finer and contains N+P+Mg+K (we call potasium 'kalium').
RIP Bunny Wailer.

Hey Dutch , I would recommend adding about 20 % perlite to your mix , young roots and clones need really good drainage and adding the perlite will help a lot with that , forget the shit addition and start to think less is more , most people who look to supplements and nutrients to save cuttings and seedlings usually kill them with too much love ......
