I use an EZ cloner which is just an expensive aero cloner and after 2 semi-successful cloning runs here is what I've learned.
1) The cloner needs to be super clean. It needs to be pre-run and made sure that no residues are left on it.
2) Don't use RO water and don't use nutrients. Your clones only need some cloning hormone and regular tap water.
3) Watch the temps. 75-80 seems to work best for me.
4) Spray the roots 24/7, they need the humidity at all times in the root zone.
5) I personally don't worry about PH too much, but try to keep it in the 6.0 range when I start and I leave it until they clone.
6) Give the tops a good spray a few times a day or keep them under a dome.
Lastly, Some strains are just tough to clones. This last time I had 2 strains that just wouldn't clone while the other 4 strains had only 2 that didn't clone.
