I believe I may have posted this problem 6 or so months ago and I never found a fix. So I am back again to ask for some help with a fungus problem that starts on the top of my clones and works its way downward.
We all went over the most major fixes like getting all new trays and tops, new cutting utensils, cleaning and checking the whole house for mold spores and spraying with a h2o2 solution mixture.
Well the problem keeps occurring. As usual it happens around 6 - 10 days after taking the cuttings.
I have come to 2 conclusions and if they don't work then I'm done with cloning. There is only 2 things that I have not changed since the problem started 12 months ago and has got worse every time after.
1) Raid Rooters. I'm still using those while I have changed everything else.
2) The air in my clone room. It's the only thing that's the same that I can't change.
Can it be the Rooters? I highly doubt it because it doesn't happen to every clone I take but it usually happens within the same plant I took it from. Which leads me to think it has to be something in the air.
Why? Because I started using a vaporizer last year and I keep it on all the time in the room where I keep my clones. There is no other place to put them because I have no room. I vape quite often and the room has smelled since I started vaping in there.
Another reason I believe it's something in the air is because clones have to breath thru their leaves. This fungus starts on the tippy top of the new leaves on the top bud site. Then progresses down thru the bud and down the stem. If it's not this then I'm doomed.
I moved the vaporizer out of the room and smoke far from that room now. I don't know what else to do. If this don't work I will have to do seed only and that sucks because I like to keep the awesome ones. I also grow my seedlings and veg plants in the same room as the clones and nothing ever happens to those. I believe it goes back to my idea that it is the air. The vegging plants and seedlings are getting oxygen thru the roots and not the leaves. The clones have no roots and therefore breath thru the leaves.
What do you guys think? I'm out of ideas
