Oh i definitely agree things cannot be perfect. but about 75-90% of the clones are not making it. It's WEIRD. The other little 32 site cloner was good. Just trying to guage if it's too much water pressure, COULD be the Clone X i dip the SHIT outof the clones in it. No clue but appreciate the advise.Im not exactly sure about clones, however i did watch a bunch of info on it. This brings 1 vid in perticular to mind, dude used clone x and some other cloning stuff, the branches with clone x did much worse and ultimately died...he accounted this to the clone x being too potent. I cant say if it applies here but it might give ya a slight idea as to why this is happening.....my next thought is a d-bag type of commentlol....we arent mother nature and not even she does this cloning shit so for us to think that we can do it with success everytime is weird. Personally i think cloning is for experienced growers who have this process 100% dialed in....now you may think f**k birdlaw lol, its ok broski, im just saying that maybe attempting to speed past the starting process isnt the best idea. For the $ you spent on this guys 2nd hand cloner, you could have bought amazing beans and some diff nutes and dialed in mother natures process rather than waste time with mankinds nutty ass ideas
ThisAfter salvaging whatever has rooted, toss the rest. Throw out the dirty collars and thoroughly wash the entire thing with a 10% bleach solution. THEN run the pump with the tank full of 10% bleach solution for a few hours.
I do the bleach solution after every third run.
I cleaned the living daylights outof the system when i first got it since the previous guy that owned it was absolute filth.Thisbut first throughly scrub everything clean with hot water and soap (possibly with some hydrogen peroxide mixed in to help fight organic buildup)
Then rinse throughly with hot water,
Then wash everything with bleach for the final clean and rinse out throughly.
(Do NOT let hydrogen peroxide mix with bleach)
Remove Dirt and Grime Before Disinfecting with Bleach
Bleach isn’t a cleaner and it won’t remove grease and grime (or other bad pathogens stuck under organic buildup), so you’ll need to use an appropriate all-purpose cleaner before disinfecting with the diluted bleach mixture.
@BluePowerRanger had a very similar issue too and they solved it by lowering the water temperature (they got a small chiller for a 132 site cloner if I remember right)View attachment 1194574 Ok the second batch is doing the same thing. Here is a picture if the clone stem. It's been in there since the 17th. It's not got a clear sludge coat. Water doesn't smell. Clones are not looking good. View attachment 1194575
Stones aren't foul. Not sure what it is yet. Clones in rapid rooters look fine.
Still haven't sorted out my issue. Had to switch to rapid rooters. I think my water is fouling from heavy rains effecting my tap water. I'm going to bleach again. And in a few weeks run it again with bottled water. And see if I can get it rocking again. I will try to use more peroxide maybe. It's been the easiest way I've ever made clones.. until the last two. Buying new collars might help. Maybe a pressure washing and good sanitizing.@BluePowerRanger had a very similar issue too and they solved it by lowering the water temperature (they got a small chiller for a 132 site cloner if I remember right)
I’m gonna loop in @Ponky because he has a similar thread that’s not getting enough love.
