Poor performance from Aerocloner

So I wanted to do the aerocloner. Everythings looks good with the equipment the tupperware painted black, a 20watt CFL, two air pumps an air wand and an air stone. WiltPurf, B1 and two different cloning gels are being used on REZ's Gonzo with some very poor results. Most cuts dead within 12 hours even after living days in a cup of spring water after removal from mother.

I decided to try something different. First I hit them with the Wilt then prune lower leaves, make the final cut at different lenghts under water two one inch, two one 1/2 inch and two two inches before scaring and dipping in gel before into cloner with B1 water. Well twelve hours later both one inch cuts were dried out dead. Twentyfour hours later one one 1/2 and one two inch are dried out the other still green but with rootrot and one two inch dried out. That leaves with one cutting looking health with the stem most likely a 1/4 inch in the water under 24 hour light.

Now I'm thankful to have one still hanging in there but there has to be something that will improve the success rate of this cloner.

There's your first problem

hmmmm not that I'm great at reading minds but I assume your saying the cutting should be fresh as in within the hour?

Yup. Cut, place in water for 15 min, cut again, place in clonex for up to 1 min, stick in aerocloner, monitor temps for 2 weeks, put in dirt.

Well Stinky,

You mf thanks for sharing the knowledge. I saw a difference the next day with some new cuts.
