First time user i cant wait to here some feed back  I just moved into a new house and am having problems getting my clones going. The shoot leaves are curling up dieing and some are yellowing. My ph is 5.1. water temp is 60 F. room temp 70 F. humidity 70-80% but my ppm 650 w/out nutes. does the ppm have anything to do with it? I also spray antiwilt solution and regular water occasinaly on them both at 5.0 ph. I'm thinking about getting a reverse osmosis system? u think it will help this problem? | ||

 | I'd be aiming for around 70-72f in the res.....  .....and I'd say use half ro water and half tapwater, maybe a root stim like hesi or the like in the res at low ppm, try your ph at 5.8, I'd say 5.1 is too low... My  Xjo  | ||

| xjo pretty much covered it.. get a little aquarium heater, set it to 70... are you using well water? go to the store and by a gallon of "drinking water" this is just tap water, about 100ppm. good stuff for clones... the clones dont seem to like empty r/o water..and 650ppm tap, well who knows what the hell is in that? | ||

Yea I'm getting my water from a well and it does kind of have a funky smell. R/O system is on the way. I'll adjust the ph to 5.8 and the water temp at 70. I have a coliseum and plan to run it using aeroponics. . do you think i should run it with straight R/O water? Thanks everyone! | ||

| I use this cloner and here is what I've found to be best: 70-75 degree water Tap water only Add a little PH down, but honestly, I get it in the 6.x range and never look again. Spray them constantly w/ water That's really it... the plants will yellow, but that's ok. In 5-10 days you'll have some nice roots and be ready to transplant.

| his tap water is crap though. Don't use it. Either get an RO filter or go buy some "Drinking Water" from Walmart
