I use an self build aerocloner- but have some problems to use it! i read some internet sites- an all tell other ph levels- first duration i drive with a ph from 5.0 themp. 22.0 and works good!

now second duration- with the same mothers- ph 5.0 and 22 grad celsius- i have yellow crusty leaves- and dont look very well! rotts are now 1about 1 inch long....

in every forum you read diffrent things-- change ph levels- dont change ph levels- with humidity dome or without.... 18-20 grad celsius- or more.....


what is the best to use it??? do you have good instructions???
 
Not sure about anyone else but I aeroclone with plain tap water at 7Ph. Cut, dip, insert . Air and water temps are around 65-75F, Roots show in 1 week and I usually transplant after 2 weeks. No dome
 
Yep ph too low. What kind of water yiu using? I tried with my well water and calcium built up tremendously around clones etc. Point being your water could be crap like mine. My water is only ideal for soil
 
i use normal tap water ph 7,5- an regulate the ph to 5.0--- now i read at the ez cloner site- i should use a ph between 5,8 and 6,5-- is this good??? i dip the cutting also inside clonex ....
 
Use plain tap water. Ph around 6-7. Don't add any ph up or down. That will inhbit rooting. Only add silica and slf 100. Nothing else. Make sure water temps are between 70-75.
 
anyone have any thoughts on whether to use a dome or not? im new to the cloning scene,been using a dome,but havent really had great results.ive rooted 5 ,theyre in promix,but by the time they put roots out in the cloner,they look a little rough.
 
thanks for your answers- ok i will use plain tap water.... but my tap water have ph7,5 around.... in the moment no problem- i can mix with rain water to change ph--- but winter come- than i dont have rain water for ph down...

what is silica and slf 100?? i dont live in the usa-- can i get this stuff in every pharmacy store--- because import is a problem with our laws.... and wich dosage from this stuff???

now my plants look yellow green crusty( some better- some not)- do you think its better to take new cuttings- or give them a chance??


also some forum says- change the water in the first 5 days every day- because the chlorium in the tap water will desinfect the cuttings-- also the pump on 24/7-- than change to 15min on/15 min off
 
also my little terrarium hydrometer says i have 90% moisture( but i dont trust it) - do you look at the air moisture level too?? i read its good to have 60-80%??
maybe its better to turn the air ventilation- a pc fan-- than it blows air inside- and not suck the air out??
