triyng in the best englisch :oops:

i am cloning a plant an have some problems that i didnt had with another variety , it starts to rot on te peace in the rockwool and in the leavetops its getting brown and then they die , not al of them but lets say 50% :cry:

i am now trying the roottech and its now about to 30% dead clones

on the rockwool is sometimes also some mold

is there something for the mold that i could ad to the water and also spray on the clones :?:

is there something else to use for getting a higher survival % :roll:

Start treating nutrient solution with 500-1000 ppm hydrogen peroxide and treat all water you use for top-up.

Mold is easy to control if the water is clean.

Sjarty,
If you have mould on your medium, than you need to toss out and remaining product and get some fresh medium. Consider the space in which you are cloning...is it clean and fresh? Where would the mould spores be coming from? Also, your temp may be a bit warm in the air and a bit cool in the medium...try to maintain around 24 all around. Genetics may also be a factor considering you report problems with at least two different cloning products (although we are pleased that you are at least 20% better with Rootech). Clean tools, environment, and medium are key. Do not overuse the Rootech...only as much on the cutting as will be submitted in your rooting medium.
Hope this info helps you out.
Best of success.
