Propagation- Seeds and Clones Failing

Hi Folks, well after working with some Trainwreck for the last six months it was time for a change up. I had grown the TW from seed and sucessfully cloned a couple of times. Suddenly 0% rooting! On the 3rd try now in my DIY hydro cloner. This is what I was able to do before Clone.jpg Trying again, with cleaned equip, new stone. Cuttings before would slime up and yellow out. Have it sitting on a seedling heat mat and a single cfl over them.

I looked in my seed bank and had 2 Big Bud reg and a NL fem and an auto skunk. I wanted to change strains so I jiffy pellted the BB and the NL. This was how I started the TW. 16 days in now and no pop on any of them. $##%^#

Read alittle and soaked the auto seed for 12 hours, into a paper towel, in a baggy, covered on the heat mat. Day 3, no pop. $%^^%

WTF, I cant get the TW to clone to keep my perpetual going and I cant get the seeds to pop to change over.
 
The original TW (available in clone form only) was notoriously difficult to handle, grow, and clone. Maybe you have a hard to clone pheno from you're female TW side?
 
I wonder if something has changed. Were you able to clone the TW before? If so, check to make sure your water or something else hasn't changed. I had a similar issue with my cloner and clones getting slimmy. My issue was either water ph, water temp or light leaking into the res. I think the slim is alge.
 
My thoughts exactly on the cloning, went back to basics, got the books out and played noob. We'll see. Only thing I can think that changed was the well water is being taken before the filter. I made new foam holders for the clones out black plates. What really piss'd me off is the seeds not popping. Havent checked yet this am, but I don't have much hope. #$%^ Still no pop on either the pellet or the towel
 
I'm in the same boat. My Rosetta Stone only has two babies and I planted 20 seeds. After a week I had to order some Blueberry right quick to keep even slightly on my harvest schedule. 10 days now and still only two seedlings. One way to handle difficult to grow strains is to water clone. Just stick a cutting in a cup of water and wait. Change the water out frequently, and the cut will sit there for weeks looking green and healthy. Eventually it'll give you roots.
 
Well, none of the seeds popped. Think they may have gotten to hot sitting on the mat. Clones are rocking! H2O2 I think was the major help there. The clones are standing tall and peeking 2
 
Well the seeds never popped. I think they may have been too warm on the heating mat. Clones are rocking, 1 cfl, 78 degrees and 30ml/gal H2O2. The girls are standing tall and I may have seen the start of some root nubs at day 5 ;) Took 4 more off my other mum today. Again I think the temp and the H2O2 nailed it. Tempting the Gods by being optimistic here ;) My Herbies order just cleared Chicago with some Cherry Bomb and The Doctor on the way. Germination temps should be about 76 degrees? moist not wet, and in darkness? Any other basics I need to remember?
