Moved my cloner and now I’m screwed

New area, new temps, new water.. Using a clone king no problems before straight tap with 90% or better success generally depending on how good of a clone I took. Now my room temps are 85, water quality is different. So should pool shock handle this white slime I’m seeing on stems and drying up leaves?

Do you do a bleach cleaning run every so often? I use clear rez which is just like pool shock basicly to keep away browning roots and slime. Drying up leaves sounds like is from high temp of air before roots forming?

Side note I to recently moved. Old house had to change water out every 2 weeks and clean with bleach run to keep cloner healthy, new house can go 2 or more months without cleaning but do add clear rez every few weeks.

You can add clear rez anytime even with plants present
I used to do it every week but my gal at the hydro store (i tip well) LOL
said just use a bit of bleach ...I haven't bought clear rez since

About moving the cloner... I moved mine from a place where it worked perfect for three years
After that I couldn't get it to work as well
Those temps are too high
Get creative , I needed to get it out of my grow area due to heat concerns...
I built a rack and mounted mine up at the ceiling above my laundry tub
Where there is a will ...

id recommend using 6ml of clear rez per gallon of water every 5 days with your water source. Also sounds like you should do a water change every 20 days or so with a bleach cleaning(1/2 cup bleach to 3 gallons water is my ratio)
