Need help with moldy clones

[TheTreeBoundRat]

Hey Ive been my clones have using coco to do my clones and for the most part it works very well but lately my clones have been showing mold or rot that starts on the outer leaf where it has been trimmed and in the tips of the clones. Just wondering if anyone else has had mold problems with their clones before and could i use an antifungal or something?

 

thanks RR

anti fungal sprays should do the job, but once mould is in the cloning chamber its impossible to remove unless you constantly use that anti fungal stuff when taking cuttings they'll probably go mouldy from now on so i would recommend spending $25 on a new humidity dome and using some antifungal spray as a preventative measure

Hey Rat, Have used citro clean with great results, can get from a hydro shop or bunnings in the cleaning departemtn, used it on my buds which had mold.

Cheers

Any bleach or brew sanitiser or alcohol (metho) will kill fungal spores

all natural tea tree oil, vinegar, grapefruit-seed extract and UV light kills most molds ... tea tree oil having the broadest spectrum

Wow thanks fellas I bought some antifungal powder from bunnheads today. Its got sulphur and another chem in it also. I'll see how it turnsout. I might try and give my clones some more air in the first week also with more water misting to make up for the dry air.

Well if you dont happen to have an autoclave handy haha then i spose u could use ethanol

 

Ethanol is a very good antibacterial and i recon metho which is mainly ethanol although not ideal would be fine.

 

Or any of the products peeps have already recommended.

 

A good trick used in the lab is to not dry anything with cloth, dry it with acetone or in an oven never with cloth.

and wear rubber gloves.

 

also weak solution of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 is perfect for rooting in bubble cloners.
