I'm curious as to other people's opinion on what they prefer to use to clone with.
Just like the title, which is better an aeroponic cloner or a bubbler?

I have a bubbler i'm using now and i'm not getting that great of results. I need to pump out 40 successfully rooted clones soon. So i need something that is 100% and simplistic to run every time with no tricks.

lets here it

I use an ez cloner and have consistent results. cut the clone, dip in root tech and put in the ez cloner. done
there are couple of things to take into consideration.
- must make sure that temp in the ez-cloner stays cool. (i keep mine around 73 with the help of a chiller) During cooler seasons it is not as hard to maintain, but right now without the chiller my cloner gets over 90 degrees. Then they all die.
- make sure the water ph is around 6. works well for me.

this method works for me everytime.

sounds good. I have wanted an ez cloner for a while, but just haven't had the extra money yet.

I am in the process of building a diy aero cloner and i hope it works out.
I will use a 396 eco pump, 1/2" pvc and 6-8 ez-clone misters. Then drill 2" holes in the top of a tote for 2" neoprene collars.

It should look something like this




This is stinkbud's cloner.

Question: Is it ok to run the misters 24/7 ?
Do you need an airstone?

yes misters should be on all the time. and i dont know if you NEED a airstone but i dont see why it would hurt.

i run mine 30 on 30 off works like a charm

ya dont run the misters all the time, run the air pump all the time and do 30 on 30 off, gives the roots a lil time to dry off which will speed up development... and aero is the way to go... there simply is no faster method if you do it right

ok i'm convinced. Would you guys consider that this design with 6 misters, eco 396 is sufficient? What are the important factors involved for the aero cloner to work right everytime ??

water temps? Air temps?

Water to use? Distilled? Tap? Should you add any suppliments to the water?

Dome? Mist how often for how many days?

Should you dip the clones in rooting gel before placing in the cloner?

Best timing schedule? 15 15, 30 30, 1 5 ??

thanks in advance, I need to get this right and I'm sure the collaborated info can help out lots of people

water temps work faster at cooler temps. I have a chiller on my ez cloner and set it to 73. Air temp in room should be 70s.
- tap water works just fine. ph it to 6.
- no need for a dome, no misting.
- i use root tech, cut dip and place in cloner. done
- i also use root 66 (10 ml per gallon) helps development.
- sinve your running it all the time do 15 on 15 off.

most important factor is keeping the water temp in the cloner cool. the pump inside the cloner gets the water warm and can rot the cuttings.
I have used frozen 2 liters before, but too much temp fluctuation and so I just bought a 1/4 chiller. expensive but worth it to have 100% every time year round.

Thank You
That is pretty conclusive to everything ive read today. I just ordered some root tech gel and clonex gel trial packs! woot woot.. I have clonex clone solution already... It calls for i think 10ml per gallon. Is this ok to use like the root 66?

for dwc you'll need air stones. it produces bubbles which contains oxygen which is delivered to the developing root system. read, read and read some more. don't cheap out when your growing. it'll just cost you in the end.
