Well that certainly beats me at .05%.......modestly. :D

You guys, I don't get it. It is extremely rare that I loose a clone, either planted in dirt or in my cheapo aerocloner. Maybe your problems are gel-related. I've never understood how people have much success with cloning gels. How do you expect your cuttings to survive when you seal off the stem from moisture? And WH, more foliage = more wilt? WTF? Does that even make sense somehow?

I'm up to 100% clone survival these days, hacking MOST of the fan leaf mass off and using dip-n-grow that has FUNGICIDE in it... you try that stuff yet?
Anti-stress dip- is it a SuperThrive type product with Thiamine in it? Can you give some basic info on your conditions?
-Dome or no dome
-Wilt-Pruf or no wilt-pruf
-Misting cuttings directly or misting the dome or not misting at all
-Room temp
-Lighting type and distance
-Water temp in bubbler
-Contents of bubbler solution
-Type and age of hormone, and how often you replace it, how you store it, and have you ever dipped right into the jar?

Yes I think it does because I am getting them too WET and the water is dragging them down....may not be wilt....might just be soggy plant you know?

Mr Hound is picking up some powder today so I'll toss the gel in the trash. ;)

Mr ONE good clone is still kicking and getting some good roots going. :thumbsup:

Stinkster.....thanks for stopping by. :)

I have ONE decent clone and I can't figure out if I'm getting things too wet or too dry. Opie is making me think I am too wet..

So far what I have done is take some flowering cuttings (I know....but I only have flowering plants right now to take practice ones on) scarifying (sp?) stem, cutting leaves to one inch (I forgot that several times..) dipping in Anti-Stress (i'll dig up the link.....my hydro guy raves about this stuff.....it smells like paint or something) clonex gel to stem, and into bubbler with RO water and clonex liquid (amount of directions on bottle) and them watching them wilt into sogginess.

I clean everything with isopropyl alcohol first....pour clonex gel on clean plate (no dipping in container) scarify with scalpel (cleaned). Let me go back and read your thread again in case you asked about info I didn't include.

I change the bubbler solution every few days....

Clonex gel is prob year old....Mr H is buying new today. Clonex liquid no more than a month old or so.

I've tried cuttings from 10 days in flowering to five weeks in flowering with strains that are supposed to "clone well" So far the only cutting I have that is doing well is a Dutch Dragon cutting....taken about 10 days ago on a five week flowering DD plant.

I'm doing both Anti-Stress and a humidity dome.....could that be way too much moisture? I didn't think about this until Opie mentioned it.

Antistress Plant Protection Membranes - Explanation and Overview Here's the wilt-proof I'm using....highly recommended by my hydro guy.

PS...Opie...that's EXACTLY how I feel about you and the capsules....wtf?

Oh....and for the dome....it seems to stay pretty misted just from the bubbler action....there's ALWAYs some condensation on it. I don't spray or mist....the bubbler does it.

Stinkster.....Dip and Grow? Is that the name....Mr Hound is making a hydro shop run.....

So some water from INSIDE the rooting chamber is getting to the dome? Splashing on the leaves too? Could be leaching nutrients off your cuttings accidentally.
The stress stuff sounds like wiltpruf equivalent. Paint smell and all. Good. Let it dry before putting the dome on. You can use both wiltpruf and a dome- I do it and it's fine.
Clonex goes bad in about 4 months in my experience, keeping it in the fridge even.
Dip-n-grow is the brand and I like that it is SUCKED INTO the cutting and will not wash off in a bubbler environment. Plus it never seems to go bad. I 'borrowed' a bottle from a friend who no longer grows. He claims to have had the bottle for several years already. I finally used up the last of it a couple weeks ago... good to the last drop, baby! :D
Oh WH you really really should try the method detailed in the Donkey Dick log.... it is SO EASY...
