i also agree way WAY overpriced i built the one i have for 70 bucks and 40 of that was the pump alone (536 gph) i guess i myself just think they are very complicated and the method i use i have found works best when i am way less attentive to them just mist them once right after cutting then come and take the top off once a day for like 10 min then leave it till the next day. although i was very interested in the fact that i could veg them in the system, as i only veg for 2 weeks max, untill flowering.

I also agree that EZC's are overpriced. But since it's here, might as well use it. I'm thinking the best bet is gonna be RO water, Green Fuse, and a bit of H2O2. Hopefully this will solve the slow rooting. I don't wanna go back to the humidome method, as it takes so much longer. Anyone know what ratio to use for H2O2 per gallon? I don't wanna overdue it and hurt the little girls. But I wanna make sure that any bacteria is killed off in the res.

I did try a little experiment last night. Cut off the browned area of the stem, re-split, scored, and dipped, then back in the EZC. I'm hoping this will help out a bit.

Will post pics once things are rolling again. Again, thanks to everyone for the input!

What about the H2O2 you get at Walmart or Target? I'm pretty sure it's lower than 29%, more like 3%. Anyone know what ratio to use with that stuff? I thought it was around 30ml per gallon, but I'm not sure.

Here is the one you want, it is in a blue bag. http://www.amazon.com/HTH-Shock-N-Swim-Swimming-Pool-Shock/dp/B003IBED06/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1302210835&sr=1-7 EXACT same ingreidient used for EZ Clone, Clear Rez retailing for $20 a quart. 1 gram per gallon is the same level they are using of the same ingredient. Lot less nasty then dealing with bleach and such. I am using it in all my ebb and flow reservoirs now as well.

I think the info I read was in a AL B FUCT thread where he tells why not to use the store 3% stuff.
either way I trust the knoledge of al b fuct when it comes to H202. if the H202 dont come from a
grow store at 29% or higher I wont use it Il post a pick of what I use.

dude, first thing wrong, quit using that damn well water...... use aquafina, i mean it, when you going to make a new batch of babies go out and buy a fuckin case of aquafina. use only aquafina. keep them water temps in check...... i swear by aquafina, i too have well water and ran into this same problem. after using aquafina..... 100% success rate always in 7-8 days ....... p.s. i keep my water temps about 78F ...... i refuse to buy a better heater when i can just use a spare fishtank heater...... keep that water fuckin sparkly clean and them lil whores will pop roots quick..... if you dont alrdy, slightly scratch the sides of the bottom of the cuttings with your razorblade to allow for a massive root gain in minimal time.... peace

hey hellraizer you are absolutely right al b said not to use store bought h202. it either has to be "food grade" or from the hydro store. the brown bottles at wal-mart = bad news for your girls. i have used the wal-mart stuff sparingly when i was waiting on my gallon from the hydro store to come in. but i would not recommend it.

some of you guys are using pool shock? isnt that just bleach? i also believe al b is pretty insistent that bleach is all bad when it comes to plants. personally the only time i use bleach in my op. is when i am cleaning out my rez's. i make sure i flush it out very well before putting my new nute solution in tho.
if you guys are using this "pool shock" successfully it is deff. something i will look into.
peace

I'm scared to use pool shock on the girls. But I'm def. gonna look for that H2O2 at the grow shop. Pretty sure I've seen it there before, the bottle looks familiar. As of right now, there hasn't been much change in the EZC. The next batch will get spring water. And if that doesn't work, then I'm going back to RO.

and another rule which seems to be just common sense..... when your batch is all rooted up, get rid of the water in the cloner and clean the cloner out... or at least wipe it out.... use fresh aquafina every time you throw in a new set of cuttings... before i pop mine in i also give each cutting a quick 20-30 sec dip in some clonex
