man i had the same problem with my aero cloner lost 3 batches before i said screw it and went back to my rapid rooters (which i always got 95-100% sucess) and honesly it was like starting all over again was still having problems. i might try it again later on but for now it put a massive hick up in my perpetual op just got going again lol. i just use the aero cloner for my vegging now and it works great.
ok here is what i do when i clone im not sure what you are using to clone (RW or rapid rooters) now i have found i myself have much MUCH better luck with rapid rooters. RW holds to much water for my liking. so now i will start by using some regular tap water not ph'd mixed with some rooting hormone (i myself use hormex but any will do im sure) i will load my tray up with all the RR im going to use then pour some of the mixed water on them leaving some in the bottom of the tray (not filling the tray just enough to see it coming in the upper tray holding the rapid rooters) then take your sterile razor blade, scalp-ole, xacto knife etc etc... and find a good cutting (this also is important find good ones that are thriving not wilting and dying) make a good 45 deg cut (smooth cut as well no jagged/ripped cutting ends) now once that is done you have to take your razor blade or whatever you are using and put it to the very tip of the cut you just made and make a clean cut about 1" up the stem as disrupted cells will pop roots much faster, now if in this part the measuring gets to you (as i use to not split the stem enough) just use the rapid rooter as a guide split it alost as deep as you will be putting in the plug. anyway after you split the stem dip it in some rooting gel (i use clonex but have used earthjuce before all work well) let it sit for a sec then plug it in the rooter. now just repeat as many times as you would like. now when im done another thing is people tend to get a little over the edge with tending to fresh clones i have found the less i mess the more success lol i lightly mist once right after cutting and the water in the tray usually keeps it moist inside the dome if the lid is not removed allot. i remove dome once daily for about 10 to 15 min to assure good air exchange and still dont have to re mist just throw the dome on and let it go till the next day.
