Hey bro, I would maybe give your clone set up a good scrub down
I am going to do that Josh indeed. But still think that they would be all fucked if it was an infection in the cloner? What's your thoughts.

I run the pump at 15 minute intervals to keep the water temp down. Surprised how much the pump warms up the water.
diary link me do

"I fucking hate harvesting. I like planting the things and watering them, and looking after them, talking to them. I don't like fucking harvesting."

"You like smoking them, though."

"Oh, I like smoking them."

Could they just be a bit too big and holding too much water?
That's something else I was thinking mate. I had smaller square pots that dissaperead suddenly into the attic. I think you might be right here. Cuttings in them were just beautiful! I'd dig them out if not buy new ones from hydro shop. I think so far you might be the closest to the problem.

because setting the timer up was a bitch I run it full in at night and 15 min intervals in the day. I got the idea from someone else for when we had that proper heatwave during lockdown.
16 cuts and 100% success.
