HELP!!!!!!

I was so impressed with all this "Bubbler" talk that I went to WM and got me one--stones and tubing and all.

I had already taken some longish cuttings from all my Brugs and had them in a bucket outside in some shade by my picnic table. Just with water, they got white bumps within a week. I cahnged the water and put about a 1/4tsp of a "Starter" type liquid fertilizer in it. All was fine!

Then I decided that the cuttings were too long to root, and I re-cut them and used the pieces as "logs" in 7 pots. We'll see if they Take! I put the newly cut ends back in the water. They were fine.

Next day, I went and bought the bubbler stuff. Set it all up. Seemed fine the first day, and then this is what they looked like the next day!
I know they got a bit of slanted sun on them (they were under my patio roof on top of my picnic table) . I just brought the bucket inside and now have it in my guest bedroom on a tall flower stand.
Bubbler is bubbling.....

What is going on here????? Help!!! I will see if it has perked up overnight now that it is inside the cooler house.
