Hey guys,
My latest batch of clones have all pretty much died. About three days ago, all the leaves started to twist until some of them were literally facing downwards. Then I woke up today (5 days since taking them) and they had all flopped over. I took them out of the coco to see what was going wrong and they all had soft, mushy stems that weren't providing any support.
Here are some pics:
Leaves twisting over:
Flopping over:
Mushy stems:
The clones have been on a heated propagator and I have been misting daily with ph 6.0 water and a splash of rhizotonic. The dome has been on the heated propogator. The clones were dipped in clonex prior to insertion to the media, which is 70/30 coco/perlite.
Temps: 70-80F
Humidity: 70-90%
I'm wondering if the twisting leaves is because it's got too hot in there (despite what my thermometer says) and the heat from the propogator has cooked the stems in the coco, causing them to turn to mush? Or have I been over misting too much? I ordered some new clonex as well, in case the last batch had become contaminated.
Do you think I should turn the heated propagator off and remove the dome? Or perhaps leave the dome on but turn the heat off? Or vice versa? The bottom of the cups/top of the propagator don't even feel that warm which is weird :/
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
