I use a bubble cloner (container with water and airstones, clones held in lid by neoprene pucks.
Air temp is in the 70's
Water temp 75f with a fishtank heater
Humidity 70% RH
A single 23 watt cfl as light.
Stem tip is under water.
I used to run tap water (40ppm) with hydrogen peroxide and got rooting in 4-10 days usually.
I mixed it up this time with tap (40 ppm) and house and garden roots excelurator.
It's been 2 weeks now.
Out of 12 total clones...
2 put out one good string of roots 6" long, but then they haven't put out any new roots. 1 is still in the cloner, the other I put into net pots in a dwc but it isn't fairing well.
2 a few tiny roots.
2 died.
The other 6 are alive but not doing much.
A few of them got tons of root bumps, but the bumps were kind of sharp and grainy looking. They weren't the normal bigger smooth round ones I'm used to seeing. Most of them haven't done anything more and the bumps got brown and crusty. The ones with roots started bright white but have turned light brown. They wash up a little whiter but not bright white like they were when new.
I added some to my dwc veg setup (water temp 65f) and it put out a bunch of white roots, then they slowed and also turned light brown. The plants are good and healthy, I'm just not seeing the 'awesome explosion' of roots everyone talks about. Kind of sucks for how expensive the stuff was.
Maybe the dwc is the problem? Does roots excel need a medium to thrive in?
