Answer:

Water temp
Water pH
Did you use calmag?
Air temp
%RH
Light type, number, wattage, and distance
Anti transpirant spray used?
Age of clones since clipping
Pump spray on timer; if so, what schedule

Umm... why do you have to chill the ez so much?

*the water temp is between 65 to 70 sometimes 75
*the PH is 5.5
*no calmag
*Agroson light, full spectrum,Grow light 5850K, F20-T12-BP & its 1ft1/2
*just regular water

The pump is submerged witch makes the water warm and the guy at the hydro store told me to keep the water temp around 60 to 70 . Its so hard tho.....

Heh- usually an ez only runs 5-10 degrees over ambient- must be warm in there.

60 is lower than I'd go- i like right around 70-75. Time to root emergance is linearly correlated w/ internal temp- the warmer the faster- but when you hit about 82, you'll start seeing pythium issues.

5.5 is a little low, but shouldn't make a big differance. surprised it's so low w/ all that pro-tekt. You don't need the pro-tekt, by the way- unless yer buffering up w/ it.

You can give the farmer back his nuts, too- maybe he won't be so mad. No food till they're rooted, cuz if ya feed em they won't root.

Keep an eye on the water level, and toss an airstone in there.

That's not a new ez ( or at least it doesn't have the new inserts). How was it cleaned after last use?

Don't mist em unless they actually wilt.

My guess? yer ez's too cold, you've got too much crap in the res, and yer overmisting. You really don't have to mist an ez @ all.

You'll be able to bring some of them back.

*I cleaned it with bleach and water, then let the ez run with just water for 3 days before putting the clones in
*i have airstones in it already
*If aim just using clonex should i still just use 1/2 TSP per gallon???
