Never had this many issues before but they just wont root, well some of them. Still just sitting there. Usually bout 2 weeks and roots are full.
Its really weird but they are not dying, started yellowing up.
My question now is would 30 min off be too long for the cuts to be exposed to air?

I don't know, i'v always gone 24/7 , and with a HEALTHY mother,
14 days max, full roots.

Whenever anyone says they have trouble cloning the first question I ask is "How healthy are your moms?"

I clone in rockwool and get 100 % in 7 - 10 days. Every single variety, even hard to clone ones.

I have cloned in rockwool, peat plugs, aero, toilet paper, never got roots that fast. Usually 10 days they start popping out and by about 14 days they are fully rooted. But now like 1 month in aero and hardly the white bumps. I just took a new set from like 4 different mothers also 1 week ago.
Right now

YEA, i'd say it's probably the most important too.

Been cloning the same moms perpetually for a long time, there is absolutely no reason for my dog mom to not be super healthy, as she was just re-freshed.

I had one that just got a knob and never rooted. If I had more time to spend on it I would have made some cuts in the knob to see if it would shoot out some roots. The cutting had one of those hollow straw type of stems.



Cheers,
Mo

The purple roots were from my new neem.

Same knobs on some, I actually just cut them off a few days ago

if the stem has a straw like center and air gets in it it'll never root in my experience. looks like you have enough spares though mo!

Just curious man, but why not stick with something you know and have success with like rockwool?

After two weeks if I have clones that don't show roots I dump them.

@a senile fungus - Yes keep it running 24/7.
@BobBitchen is the expert with this system. Check out his thread. He posts all of his secrets there
Using ProTekt in the water is a big key.

@Dr.D81 - Great news!!! Are you in Eugene?

The ducks were just visiting. Now we have a stray cat I call Tom Cruise.

The screen room has the new screen attached! I had to get a new staple gun. The thing is so fast and light!

More space in veg closet, and I need a lot of clones. I have done aero before, its way better than humid-domes, imo. Like I said some rooted and some didnt, this is just some weird shit. If the rest dont root, I am gonna just plant em and put em under the dome, but still think they will root.
So far I got 5 like this planted already, the one one the right have been in there for over 3 weeks.
On the left a fresh set.

If you don't have roots in 5 days there is something wrong with the plant. The only time I have had trouble getting a clone to root was when it was too far along in flower or I had a mite problem.

Here is what these looked like when I started them:



Then a day later:




Four days later:



Seven days later:

I think it took seven days because I had mites. When I started treating them and using a mild foliar feed they started growing roots well.

Just found this! Wish I had gone!

I dont see roots til day 8-9. They take off after that. Fireballs had roots after 5 days. Quantum kush took over 2 weeks. It depends on strain for how long it takes

water temp is a huge factor. I have a 15 min timer on the pump. Not to drown the cuts. And keep the pump from getting hot.

I have air stones going and keep frozen water bottles in the resi. The roots seem to grow faster when the water is colder. The air stones prevent slime. plus oxygen. If you forget to plug the pump back in. Any cuts with roots in the water below wont suffer with the air stones going.

I also foliar twice a day for humidity and nutes.

I dont do resi changes. I just add more water.

Its gotta be mites then, found some in there. Its the only real explanation for the results. I treated all rooms again last night.
Just had a dream about webs.

The worst time I had cloning was when I had Root aphids and plants were dudding. I found that if the plant had turned dud it wouldn't root.

I have thought about trying those aero cloners but I get 100% almost every time in 1.5inch rockwool cubes. And I take 100+ every 30 days or so. If it ain't broke, and all that.

who has l.a. Con clones. I think I may have mixed them.up with 9lb. I dont have l.a. Con at all. The l.a. Con I got were in flower.so I had to reveg. So the next round of clones grew differently. No big indica leaves. Doesn't have that spearmint / kush smell. The one I thought is l.a. con smells like grape fun dip. Kinda bummed now...
