ive followed all the threads on aerocloning but i still must be missing something. the water is ph @5.8 w/ no additives, not sure bout the temps but it doesent feel too hot or too cold(sorta luke warm favoring the warm) have a air stone and pump 27/7, and my pump is a 185gph powering 2 360 spinners. my problem is that the stems are dripping w/ water and eventually would rot. still, the stems are constantly soaked and i adjusted the manifold as low as i can, even messed around w/ sprayer positioning. still soaking the stems. ive tried 360 sprayers but they made it worst. my next step is to put them in 2" net cups to see it that may deflect the larger droplets and break them up. i have the same tub ive seen others use w/ success, what goes on?

p.s.
is it the reflection of water that hits the walls that waters the plant cuttings? and is the aerocloner sloped like that on the top end for this reason? if anyone can tell me whats the physics behind this it would help.

your tub is clear. that is your problem. your clones bottom ends need to be in a warm dark wet place.the light going into there is going to promote bacteria and will kill those clones. do yourself a favor and go to the store and buy some black spraypaint and spray the outside of the areocloner.
I use Krylon Fusion as it's made for painting plastic,

exactly, i'd buy a small fogger, they'll keep the water warm and provide the perfect environment.

get two prop trays, one clone tray

put ph water in one prop tray

cut clone tray in half, turn one side upsidedown and put in prop tray with water, put the other right side up on top of that tray, put in some rapidrooter plugs, pop in your MJ beans, turn on the fogger, add a little h202 and cover the whole thing with the other prop tray

you now made a cheap ass germination station

to turn it into a thingy for clones, just take off the top prop tray, insert your clones in rapid rooter plugs and put on a humidity dome! baada bing baada done

yeah i have one thats rubber coated but im using the clear one now as im adjusting to see whats going on inside without breaking the sync. and i also used alil 3%h2o2. im gonna give it anopther shot, this time 15 mins on 1 hr off, stems still seem to retain water to survive. now its time to sterilize and re-batch. ill holla back and bump soon:hump:.
