Cloning sickness

The stems of my clones get soft and really watery
I use powder root hormone, and rockwhool cubes

Is it because the rockwhool cubes are too wet ? :shock:

thx for answers...

that's what i use as well. do the clones bend over?

I commonly see rockwool that is too wet. Usually I mist a few times a day and no longer need to add water to the rockwool other than that.

Yes, after 2-3 day they bend over :shock:

. Can it be that I soak the rockwhool in too much water ?

possible. i've never had that happen.

I assume the tray has drainage holes ... I soak my cubes about halfway, but have used drenched ones before also. Are you adding water after you first put them in?

Are you poking your stems about halfway into the cubes? Are the clones really small?

No, the tray doesnt have any drainage holes and I'm not adding any water, the clones are 3-4 inches. I just put on the dome and keep the humid at 90 %.
do you shake the cubes to drain the excessive water?

No. I usually submerge them, let them stop dripping, and put them in the tray.

So you don't have a tray that holds cubes in slots? Do the holes get stretched out?

yea the the tray that olds the cubes have holes, but not the dome tray. nope the holes doesn't get stretched out... If i pick a clone by the stem, it will just rip off because it is so wet and moisty

yeah it sounds like the stems are rotting. If they also discolor, this is surely the case.

The dome needs to have ventilation holes, or some way of exchanging air.

Okey, Thx for the help bro! :joint:

i will just soak the rockwool in less water and keep the humidity at 85% with the dome holes open :peace:
