Restore infested root riot plugs

This makes more sense, 211ml which is just under a cup of bleach. Its in fl oz and meant to be plugged in as such and not pool shock.

Still dont make sense why it says 1:53 when Im shooting for 1:10. Maybe clone king thinks thats enough to sterilize it? Dont make sense why one site says 10% of 45ml is 5ml when its 4.5ml on the last screen shot.

This is fustrating, havent had to do this since figuring out how much pool shock to add to dtw reservoir.

Ok the cloner is bubbly as heck. I dont think I did it right. I dont get why I only need 3ppm chlorine from pool shock to keep solution clean but need 800ppm for this?

Just finally watched some videos of how people clean theres and its straight forward just clean the heck out of it. Few ounces of peroxide or cap full of 35% peroxide.

Probably overthinking it I just want to follow the manual but my god its not straight forward. Last time I just added like 3-5x as much pool shock as I would my reservoir.

Another off putter is bleach is only 4% chlorine so if anything what I was doing before would of been fine. Pool shock being 56% chlorine.

Round up! Took the fleshiest cuts made them shorter cut right on the node. Its not humanly possible to not some how get some germs in there lol. Making sure the temp stays right which may be partly why failed last time.

Added kln 5ml per gal. Clean razor. Going to change water every few days or 4 days. Going to panic if this dont work lol. A step back from where I want to be but going to keep trying because I need to run clones.

Suspense is killin me. Did they root? I didnt touch them for 7 full days as of an hour from now. Threw pool shock in there on day 4 will again day 8 as thats the fastest I seen it expire especially with temps of 72F.

Kln from the start. I didnt check em because I was going to when I took out the turkey probe but saw the temp plumbit.

If the cuttings are being checked on, they must be having to start over each time with some stunt, no?

If I see no roots Il be glad I waited til day 7 to check so they had their best chance and some priming with another 4 days of chance.

After that if no roots Id start again and change one factor. The few that exist, ugh…

Like I said they had to of been in 63F water temp last time so idk what to expect. I suspect my only success it was technically 68F and rooted day 11.

Checking because I had new roots turn brown almost die for unknown reasons at about day 14-21. So I can pull them asap and prepare the coco.

Hopefully Im not missing out on not trying to just wet the coco with pearlite and just pot. I Soak 1hr, rinse and double buffer. Its a slight pain.

I put it riiiiiight back after realizing it must not be good for them to stop the misters. No pics sorry. Next few days maybe.

Been researching hard on cloning. I guess this phase is striking. They all callused and striked. Not search for water but some are. Some have a decent root sticking out. Hopefully didnt break it pulling them out and back in.

Kinda about to toss them all since my aero is working for this round.

I got the ac infinity dome and mat. Going to try setting to 80-85F. If I get 7 or 8 clones from this aero run which looks likely, I wont need to clone for like 4 months.

Can different root densities effect variances in yield or finish time between two clones? From being 30-90 days apart? Just pruned back hard.

Is the heatmat supposed to only be like 80-83F on surface? Its not very warm. Just sitting on shower floor its cold but the thing aint throwing much heat.

I also don't believe in the complete sterilization, use alcohol on a new razor every cut bull shit lol. It's a damn weed. What I do believe in is adding beneficial bacteria right from the start and I run a weak solution of recharge right in my cloner and soak my rock wool with recharge before I slip the cutting in.

I never sterilized shit when I took my cuttings. I wiped my scissors off if they had any resin or anything on them but that was it. Its always been surprising how much trouble some people have with clones, they have always rooted pretty easily for me.

I wish it came easy because if it dont I cant really perpetuate. I checked 5 days later and see barely any progress.

The riot cubes are so close to rooting. Theyre still there and some have them emerging from sides but damn its not looking good for day 12.

I dont get why they just get stuck at this phase, I mean its better than nothing which happened a lot but hmm. Maybe the riot cubes would finish rooting if I out on mat with dim lighting. Or just make mew cuttings.

5 of those rooted and more are about to but I got what I need for now. I setup the dome its pretty nice.

Its dimmer than it shows. Its able to hold water and easily makes it to each cell so I can do the same thing again. A set/forget style.

Who knew the root riots would be what I needed to focus on. As for aerocloning, idk wtf is up with that.
