aeroponic cloner, growth but no roots?????

Hi peeps,

Av had 12 clones sat in a aeroponic cloner for 2 weeks now, clones look healthy and av noticed new growth coming from the clone's but no roots or white bumps? is this normal?

I did 45 degree cut then into water, used clonex and cut of end of leaves. i check ph every other day and got a water heater set at 70f.

thanks for any help in advance.

Are you adding any nutes? If so don't use just plain ph'ed tap water.

Hey, thanks for replay!

yeah i added a weak nuts mix after 5 days, should i be adding from the beginning?

av also read somewhere that i should be flushing my mother with water aweek before taking the cuttings maybe something to do with that?

I do not and any nutes till i put them in veg. here is a pic of some of my new clones and clones move to veg after about 3 weeks.

what kind of light are you using? is your water temp at 70 or higher?

Am using two T5 lights and water is always between 70-73.

they are both 4 tube t5 fixtures. I have never checked my water temps my pumps for clone, veg, and flower are only on for 1 min then off for 5 mins so i know i don't get any heat from them.

here is my setup

I have been using a aero cloner for years now and never use rooting compound. I used to have the same problem as you until I turned my water heater waaaaay up and go the water to about 80° and pow I had roots and fast too! So I guess what I am saying is try turning up your heater and see what you get, it truly solved my problem.

Just started using aero cloner and my advice is to add your root hormone directly to the stem and 5 days later I add a liquid solution into the water too encourage more growth and basic food. Also look up new cutting techniques like scoring the back sides and splitting. One last thing push the clone as far deep into the pucks lost my first 10 cuttings from being to shallow.

throw some great white in there
