hey guys, where'd that soil come from? I'm not a fan of cloning into soil, although plenty of people do it fine.

are you using powder, gel, or liquid?

you know how much I love the combination of rapidrooters (clean and pH appropriate) and gel (seals the cut site better than powder).

I don't even make my second cut under water.

The other thing I'm thinking- were those under a dome, and were they actually TOUCHING the dome? I've seen that happen, the browning upper growth, when it comes into contact with the wet plastic dome for long enough to get all rotty
