So I am using aeroponics for my first time. I have my water PHd at 5.8, temp at about 73 degrees, and my misters on 24/7. I am using Hormex in the reservoir and not seeing any real results. I have fluorescent lighting above my cuttings. When I examine my clones it looks like possible root rot or something. Please help! :)

you won't see results for 10-14 days. If you have an aquarium heater use it to bring the water to 75-80 degrees. Low temperatures were my largest problem.

A picture or a description of what you are seeing would make it possable for others to attempt to answer you question.

You would get much faster rooting if you put the cloner on a recycle timer, 1 minute on and 5 minutes off
The stems are soaked all the time so they don't have to send out roots to look for more water
The key to aero cloning is the dry period in between

Exactly:clap:




95% of all clone failures I see are from keeping the plugs/stems/media too wet.

So this is the best one I could take cuz my camera sucks bubt maybe it will help. I am getting a small root but this funny buildup like root rot and the root does not grow any more than this no matter how long it sits.
