Why do clones get soggy in a cloning machine?

Cloning Machine: EZClone 30 site
Temp: 75 F
Humidity: 50%
Light: 2 bulb 24" T5 about 13" from tops of clones
Cloning solution: Powerclone + Superthrive
Airstones: 2 12" stones
Timer: 1 minute on and 4 minutes off
Clone stems were scraped 1/2" and split 1/4"
I know it's not necessary but the clones were also dipped in rootech
4" exhaust fan with carbon filter and a regular fan
PH: 5.8
Lights: 18/6
I have also been misting them
Clones cut at 45 degree angle and everything was cut under water
 
The soggy part is inside the cloner, on the bottom side of the neoprene plug, it just turns to mush.
 
I use the power cloner from botanicare, roots in like 5-10 days, the misters are always going in this set up....
 
ahh gotcha bugs = )
yah I dont ever mist my plants, that power cloner has a dome, I just leave that on the first 5 days, and it keeps most the humidity in.
 
i think maybe you are overdoing it.

I just cut at a 45 degree angle and shove it in the neoprene.

I dont see the necessity to dip in clone solution, or the necessity for superthrive.

I use tap water at <200 PPM and small amounts of cloning solution.

try to keep it simple things seem to work better for me when I keep them simple.
