do your cuttings in the bubbler go strait into the net pots w/ hydroton or do you use a plug as well ?...
What nutes do you run in your bubbler water ?...
I've cloned in the past, in RW and oasis cubes in the propagation tray w/ humidome but I just built a bubble cloner a lil different than yours but the same baisc idea, just not using the net pots. I've got the neoprene collars. I haven't put it into service yet. lookin for some new mommies
later D:S5:
I take a cutting and dip the end of it in clone gel and then put it straight into a nice moist rooter plug. Then I take the rooter plug and set it in a 3" basket with hydroton. After that I place the basket in the bubbler and I use early veg feed in the solution underneath to encourage root development and new foliar growth. Of course the new leaves won't show for a while till the roots have started developing. In your case... I think that you would just dip them in clone solution and then put them in your collars with the solution below splashing on the cuttlings.Quote:

there are rooting stimulants that can be added to straight water but you shouldn't add nutes to cuttings. Too early.
you think that they will bounce back since I caught it just as the edges were starting to brown?Quote:

But the momma is growing nice and her pistils are just now starting to really show themselves. More pics to come as I go on with this bloom. Thanks for all advice!
I see two things: First your question about bouncing back; remember that plants show signs later than where they are. So for most problems its later than you think to correct. Catching things early is key, but not to make too big a change all the time is the trick. Your plants look like they will bounce back.Quote:

That is how the rooters should be all the time. If you touch a rooter and your finger gets wet, that is too wet.
I can't remember what thread but it was one on bubble cloners and he used only thrive-alive and superthrive in the cloner I think it was 2ml thrive alive and 1 drop superthrive per gal. of water. but I'm not completely sure...

Thanks for the info Herbie! I took the clones and moved them to a starter tray in new rapid rooters. They hadn't kicked out a single root :(. I went ahead and put new root stimulator on the stems again and placed them down in a rooter each. I also put the dome cover over to help... do you think that I should do that or not? I thought high humidity would help, if not then I will take it off.
4 tsp per gallon of thrive alive (20 ml) and no need for superthrive. That's all you need.Quote:
