Bubble Cloner

Hi everyone -

Recently (completely unplanned) tried my first attempt at cloning. Eh. Some branches got given to a friend from a great sour D mom. They had been sitting in a cup of water for two days, then my friend who had no idea how to clone, tried it, and mangled the fuck out of them. Afterwards he asked for help lol.

I did what I could, but this is 7 days later and I've pretty much lost hope for them.


Needless to say though, that was the kick in the ass I needed to start me out on my cloning journey and now I am determined to succeed on principle alone. Inspired by NoGutsGrower's DIY thread (https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/430426-my-20-dollar-less-cloner.html) I decided to try out a bubble cloner set up.

Got the tupperware at lowes, airpump & stones at petsmart, neoprene discs at a grow store. Filled with plain ph adjusted h2o. Covered outside of container with 2 layers of duct tape.

Took some cuttings last night from my friends garden that I'm helping him with. 45 degree angle, split the bottoms, removed leaves etc. Dipped in some rooting gel and then inserted into the discs. The water definitely bubbles all the way up to the top. When I open the lid there's droplets all over. I also have a small heating pad underneath the container to try and keep the water temps warm. Same exact container over top as humidity dome.

Let me know what you guys (and girls) think! If there's anything you see I could do better or anything I'm forgetting tell me! Oh - and do any of you experienced cloners think the original 9 clones in rockwool have any chance, or should I just toss them? Like I said, I am new to cloning but am now determined to succeed. All help is appreciated!

Looks awesome bro I am going to make one like this or similar! Good job and GL with the clones!

In my experience, you don't need a dome for a bubble cloner.

Also, the sick cuttings are still salvageable. If you really want them, it will just take more care to bring them back. I've brought back some that were ugly sick before.

You'll like the bubble cloner I think

cool...........

lookin healthy. this is 100% guaranteed to work.

I use a rubbermade container and some rapid rooters with some plastic wrap on top for humidity. My hydro guy uses a cloner and doesn't use a humidity dome, he uses anti wilt spray and I am going to switch over to that way cus it is a pain in the ass getting the clones use to not having a humidity dome slowly. they are such babies at that age!

Glad you liked my cloner! Yours is looking better than mine!

Sorry, I don't agree. If they don't have roots yet, they are dead or stunted enough to where you don't want them, maybe save 1 or 2. Different cuttings need a dome more than others. My sour d needs domes every time where as my blueberry and light blue don't always need domes. So better to be safe than sorry! The dome is a good idea!

Saturday morning bump.

The clones got droopy, but have noticeably stood back up. Pretty sure that's a good thing. It's the weekend!!

im also new to cloning .i read no rooting hormones jus tap water works best.
