The pic is fuzzier than I had intended but you get the idea....sometimes a cutting in my bubble cloner will curl like this within 24 hours and stay like that for about a week before straightening out. I have had one or two develop roots after that but my success rate is miserably low already, curling may or may not have an adverse effect. I can find no pattern in why this happens to a few but not all. Has anyone seen this before?

No. You must have some kind of hex or curse. This is clearly the work or other worldly dark forces.

Never experienced that but I'm thinking some weird Turgor pressure issue? That's the only thing I can think of since the only thing the stems do is transport food into the plant so the only thing that would make it move like that would be something vascular system related?

Plants without roots can't take much light.

So the light intensity is curling the lower stem that is in total darkness? How?

My bad, I thought he was talking about the leaf edges curling under. That's what I saw that says too much light.

Demons is still the leading theory. You need some Holy water for those clones. But that might make your demon curse worse.

I thought I was up to date on my sacrifices to the Dark Lord but I'll throw a few virgins on the altar to be safe

I recently came to the same conclusion that I've been giving my cuttings too much light but I don't think that's what is making some stems curl since it doesn't happen to all or even most of them

Anybody know what pH and ec of the holy water should be? :-P

Holy water can be anything but 6.9 PH. That's bad luck.

Hey I’m not sure if your still using Pro Mix root booster or not but it almost looks like the stem is trying desperately to avoid your mix. Have a look at my response to your other thread … cheers
