check this morning shows Im still OK :)

my bubble cloner was a failure. I went back to rapid rooters with RO water. Roots in 5-7 days. I still want to try the aero cloner. Just been broke. I didn't want to take any chances and lose anymore strains..
hey Hyroot, tnx for coming by...
I'v had 100% with this cheap cloner & straight tap water.
The last pic shows 11days growth, they didn't nub until about 9 days.
but I ran the last couple of weeks in 95+ heat, with no chiller & they still
made it.
Mo has same cloner.....

Definitely nice roots! I just built a Aero cloner out of a 5 gallon pale, I got some olivias solution but not sure if it will make anything better. But I realized when using gels on my old Aero cloner it would just wash off too quickly, that's why this time I got the solution you mix in the res instead. Do the powders clog the misters at all by any chance?

So your not using rooting hormone then? Just straight tap water? Just asking cuz that's how I used to run mine now.
I usually dont use it in the cloner, but I had it out to try useing for a cut i put straight into dirt in a cup
just to try, so I thought Id do a side by side. as I wasn't planning on running these clones.

good luck with the cloner alpha,
I tried using Olivias my first two attempts with an aero, both failed.
So I called the mnfg for a refund & the owner asked me to try it with tap water only.
I did as he asked, and 10 days later an explosion of roots !
I have also had success with a small amount of KLN & Protekt ( 1ml & 2ml in 3gal rez)
I'v only used rooting powder hormone, and a very light dusting.
But my best results have been just plain tap water, mist first 2 days, top of rez @ day 5
and by 10 -14 days strong white roots

Have you tried willow water in it? Roots look great by the way. I need to order some emitters and start one. I am tired of buying the plugs.
