This is my first post, been lurking over here for quite a while, tons of great info. Having a bit of an issue with my ez cloner & I'm not really sure why. To start off it's a DNA lemon walker strand I've been running for a few years clones off clones off clones & never had this issue. Moms were flushed before Cuttings were taken. Cuttings have been in the ez clone for 21 days now & I'm finally getting some roots. Cloner runs 24/7, 18/6 light schedule, 2 bulb 2 ft cfl about 3 feet above, Air temps range from 68-74 avg 72, rh about 40%. I've changed the water three times & added a shot of 30% h202 every 3-5 days as a preventive measure (saved a slimy batch with it before a while back). I just ran out so now I'm using the "clear rez" again that comes with the cloner. I run tap water & do not ph adjust (I never have for anything) & added a minute amount of "great white" this last h20 change since I saw some root development & have no h202 in the system now. I scraped the stems & cut a 45 like I always have, dipped in "root tech" gel, & placed in brand new pre cleaned cloner. Cuttings look healthy above collars, no wilt, little yellowing on older leaves. Below collars stem is same green color, white & callused where I scraped. Weird part is the new root growths arent growing off the exposed part of the stem down below the collar, but from inside the collar itself... any ideas why? I moved a row lower into the collars to see how the roots react to being exposed to the sprayers, waiting to see what they do.
