I keep seeing noobs and even older members losing a ton of clones to rockwool, peat plugs, directly into soil, ETC....
The one single item that changed the game for many of us growers is an EZ cloner, daisy cloner or homemade AERO cloner of some type, ala TheCarpenters design, it will single handedly change how you grow, your confidence, attitude and skill level, it will generally change your mindset as to your ability within growing.
Now the EZ cloner model is expensive (30 site is $325) and it keeps people away, I understand that much, but 1 saved clone pays for itself..............NOW there is a tutorial on a DIY cloner and it is just as successful from what Ive been seeing
Think of it like this, everyone wants MORE buds, they want that "BEST" clone to succeed to be the BEST plant..........how long is it inbetween your grows from start to finish????? Now, within that waiting game there is a bunch of lost days due to the waiting game........say 2 weeks or so in most cases, sometimes longer (3-6 if you have to recut clones to fill your space)
Using an EZ or AERO will give you consistant results, healthier clones and speed up your process........
Soooooo within that waiting game, over the course of a years time, NOW you've waitied an extra 2 months or so WAITING to get back growing, WAITING on clones (that you cant see)
Well, with an AERO or EZ, now you've simply gained another harvest or 2, which in turn....NOW youve got that many more buds stashed away or putting that much more $$$$ in your wallet (if your legal:eusa_angel: )
For a DIY you might be out $30 in total.......EZ cloner 30, $325 or so, 60 site is $400 and the 120 is too much and too big for 99% of us
