Did u check and make sure ur sprayers r working? U can do so by removing the portion of the lid that holds the clones and replacing it w the clear dome and turning it back on.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.

Also u shud definitely ph adjust it to 5.7 imo. Also its important to make sure water temp is at 68.
I recommend dbl checking. Only takes a tiny bit of crud to block em upSprayers are good, I run manifold & pump in a bucket of hot water & h202 to clean it while I rinse out bottom of cloner

Put your cloner on a timer for 30 minute intervals, you're not making the clones work, they need to reach for the water. Trust me I used to do what you did and it fucked me over big time. Don't scrape stems at bottom whatsoever you don't need to. Just make your angled cut and dip in solution and move on.This is my first post, been lurking over here for quite a while, tons of great info.

I'll give it a try. I understand the idea of on & off to make them reach out. I've always run 24/7 & just within my last two batches have I had this issue. I'm open to new ideas tho, you never know what you could be doing better.Put your cloner on a timer for 30 minute intervals, you're not making the clones work, they need to reach for the water.

I'm just basing my knowledge off the same system you use than me so figured I'd throw my 2 cents in there. Good thing is your clones still look pretty damn healthy for being in there so long, so I think you'll be alright. I think my two biggest changes was not shaving stems, and adding the timerI'll give it a try. I understand the idea of on & off to make them reach out.

I also use an aero cloner. A turbo kloner in fact. It ses right in the directions to run at 68deg and 5.7 ph. Also ses to add clonex fertilizer. Personally, i like the dome.I' an aero cloner guy
Keep it simple!
Tap water
Ph to 6.0
I run mine 24/
1x small air stone per cloner
Nothing else is needed
Water temps should between 75* lowest to 79* highest.
I also use a 4bulb 4' t8 6500k light.
You have way too much stem below the collar. 2" max imo. You want the roots to stretch to the water. And no dome needed for aero clonerz.

What' your cleaning regimine like for the entire cloner, including neoprene pucks? That could possibly to be the issue.
I run 24 hrs with 1 cap of concentrated bleach
Rinse
Run 24hrs with 1/2 bottle store bought h202 (iirc it's 3%)
Rinse
Run 24 hrs with plain tap
Rinse and let dry
I leave the pucks, collars, and air tu ing thru all cycles.
