I am having the same problems with my PT Cloner. I was beginning to think that I was the only one who couldn't get clones to root in it. I have tried pretty much every configuration and still have had zero success with it. Seriously, in 5 months I haven't had so much as a nubbin. I got it last...

No. No light in the res. I had to use bolts and wing nuts to clamp it down so it wouldn't leak water everywhere. I will let you know how it goes. Tomorrow is day 5 after re cutting, Day 13 since first cutting from mothers.

I have the lights on all day. The go in the cloner at lights off and get 6 hrs of dark. Then they go 18/6 for a few days. Then it is 24/0 til they come out. Not really sure what you mean by light leaks.

See, I have heard that with 35% H2O2, 1.7-2.0 ml/L is the effective dosage. That is what I run with my flowering plants. I change the res every two weeks for flowering plants, but top off with water and re dose with H2O2 every 4 days. That ratio comes from Al B. Fuct. Since my op is modeled...

I just re cut all my clones so pics would be irrelevant. No slimy stuff. Looks sort of like the stuff luielugatz posted earlier. Post #83 is the one. I change the res every 2-3 days. I add H2O2 every time. Not to add dissolved O2, but to keep the slime at bay. The water splashing around in...

I got me a PT Cloner. Thought it would be easy after having to water rockwool cubes twice a day to get rooted clones. Well the results are far from what I expected. Here is what I got; 80 site PT Cloner 5 gal non DI filtered R/O water 40 ml 35% H2O2 pH 5.5 1 ml/gal Roots Excellurator 3 24" x 2...

You could go out and pick up some pH test papers at Home Depot or Lowe's. Probably be in the pool/pond/garden section. Not the most accurate way to test but it will get you in the ballpark.

Well guess what? I got a batch of clones going in the PT Cloner and they are looking pretty good after day 3. No roots yet but looking healthy and no funky goo in the res. Also, I just finished expanding my flower room. 48" x 40". Just right for 2 2'x3' trays. Oh, and I crammed a 1000 Watt...

I think that the 29% is coming from pool supply shops. That's where I have seen it. True that. My system runs cleaner with 2 - 2.5 ml of 35% H2O2 per gallon. I still had a substantial amount of nasty growth in my res with the smaller dose. After I bumped it up a bit things were golden.

Wow! What warranted that kind of a post? Seems like it just came out of left field. It also occurs to me that you post emulates the very thing you are trashing with the post. I hope things get better for you. Most people here are pretty nice.

I have H2O2. What would you call "proper ratio" for a cleaning solution? I dose the res with 6.5 ml/gal of 35% H2O2. My tap water usually runs in the 400-500 ppm range. I have an R/O unit but I heard that the DI filter takes out too much and can cause problems. I ran two batches of clones in...

That's the plan. I want to get a few more mothers so I can get a better selection of clones. I got a few ideas of the problems and I plan on fixing them as soon as possible. It is just strange that the first time I ever cloned anything I used rockwool and had 100% success and things have gone...

I cleaned it the first time with bleach. Like to get it clean out of the box. I rinsed it, let it dry, then rinsed it again. Then stuck the clones in. I ran it for a week and a half and it started growing slime. So i pulled all the clones and re cut the stems and cleaned the cloner. No bleach...

Is this the stuff you are talking about LB? http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemMatrix.asp?GroupCode=NERHGRX00&eq=&MatrixType=1 That is some high dollar stuff. but if it is used like you say it isn't too bad. I just want to be sure to get the right stuff.

At least you know why yours aren't doing well. I have had clones in my EZ Cloner for two weeks and I got nothing. This is starting to piss me off a bit. Tap water w/ 1.5 tsp cloning gel Res temp: 79.5 pH: 5.6 Very seriously considering going back to the rockwool cubes.

Putting the wing nuts and bolts has solved the problem. Makes access a bit tricky, but no puddles. I used 1/4" x 1 1/4" Hex head bolts with wing nuts on top.

I ran the pump cord through one of the pucks. I was thinking of putting another line of weather stripping on the res itself. I put the one that came with it on the lid. That isn't working. Had a bunch of people over yesterday for the gobble gobble. No time to do anything about it til today. I'm...

Damn PT Cloner is leaking like a sieve. Any ideas?

Well today marks one week in the PT Cloner and still no root action. Nothing. Not even nubbins. The stems still look green and healthy. The leaves are curling slightly, but nothing severe. I hope it is weather issues. Might need to get the temps up slightly. Still running 79.5* in the res. pH...
