I had the same issues using a Turboklone unit a few years back. The fan malfunctioned during summer and the water temps were too high and caused the stems to rot.What is this bacteria?

You can see at the end of the plant, the water is retained like in a bubble, it becomes viscous and the plant ends up dying as it's not able to drink
I'm doing clones in hidro, changing water 1 time per week.
How to prevent it and how to cure attacked ones?
To revive that plant I only have to make another cut at the bottom and it will start drinking againI had the same issues using a Turboklone unit a few years back. The fan malfunctioned during summer and the water temps were too high and caused the stems to rot.
I got rid of the Turboklone unit and went back to the old school unit with no further issues.
You can also treat them with anti pathogen products such as PYTHOFF but I think the damage is done by the looks of your photo but im no expert.
You can also use a Hydrogen Peroxide solution im not sure of the correct ratio.To revive that plant I only have to make another cut at the bottom and it will start drinking again
I'm trying to know how to prevent this, maybe mixing the water with a bit of PYTHOFF could be good
What is the old school unit? Can you send a picture or guide how to find one of them?
No, it happens to a big % of all clones I cut, doesn't matter the parentsAre the clones in question cut from the plant in your profile pic by any chance?
I just built and ran a diy bucket aerocloner for the first time recently and was told by a dude I trade with online to use a diluted granulated pool shock. I added 5ml of the solution mix to the two gallon rez every 2 -3 days.... explosive root growth. I had 3 very large cuts each of 4 strains. Had white nubs on everything , 100% in 3 days.... full on >6" roots in 6 days. Ran it 45 seconds on , 5 min off. Never seen anything like this first hand. The rapid rooters with a heat pad and dome had 50% success after 10 days with normal rooter roots poking out which is a low percentage for me normally which I guess is strain depending...What is this bacteria?
