The clones have stayed perky this time instead of wilting, less fungus worries because everything isn't so wet, no checking and adjusting the ph several times a day. So far I have two whiteberry clones and they both still look quite happy. Amazing!!
I don't understand how people can get this attitude. WH, I'm very happy you found a cloning technique that works for you, but I'd like to see you not give up on your bubble cloner. I've stuck clones in soil and I've stuck em in the cloner. Both are extremely easy, and both produce 99.9% success for me. The bubble cloner by far (at least for me) produces a much better root mass and overall I believe it produces a better plant. I've found that if a plant starts with a suckie root mass, it stays kinda suckie overall, and visa versa.

You don't have to check your PH several times each day. I never check mine, but I start at about 5.3, and within a few days it's at 6.2. No biggie. The plants don't seem to mind at all. I'm pretty sure the reservoir could fluctuate at least one full point without any problem. Your supposed to change the res every other day or so, but I don't. I change maybe once or twice during rooting.

You have a problem with too much moisture in your dome, but that is not a problem. You don't even need to seal off your holes completely. I have moisture from the reservoir splashing into my dome as well, and it doesn't seem to be a problem except for adding moisture. It merely seems to foliar feed the bottom of the lowest level of leaves. (I haven't yet installed the neoprene inserts I told you about.) If you have too much moisture in your dome, simply prop up one corner of it with a pencil or sex toy. It's better by far if they can if they can have some air flow anyway. Just like with the capsules, you have to experiment a little to find out what works best for your cloner, but once you do it is way worth it.

Sigh, just my 2 cents. I hate to see people devolving, and it seems like if you start with hydro and move to soil you are going backward in your weed farming operation. Hydro = bigger, better, faster, more. Oh well, each to his/her own. I believe you have an extremely green thumb, and I'm sure you'll get lots wonderful weed no matter what you do.

Good luck.
