lol im only 16 so i dont know shit lolI am 31, so I do have a few harvests under my belt
Forums like these are a great source of learning material and I credit my success to reading alot.
nice set up. I just built something similar, instead of using foam, i use meat or produce packaging foam inserts. Simply take the foam insert and flip it upside down so there is a air gap, however, i really like your idea and thinkg that using a pool float is the way to go!My first attempt at cloning was not going so well. So I built this bubble cloner to try and save them.
I was using peat pucks and on the 5th day I stopped spraying them, but it got hot that day the clones wilted.
I put them in a cool shady area and misted them while I made up this bubble cloner.
This was created with stuff lying around the house.
It took me a few hours to do all the work and I put the clones in it then went to bed.
When I woke up they looked much better, only 2 looked a bit wilted but they were stronger. And when I checked again hours later none of them looked wilted at all.
This pic was taken when I saw the 2 kinda wilty ones.
Ive noticed that I do not need to spray when using the bubble cloner, the leafs seem to stay a bit damp. Iam not sure if the water is wicking up the outside of the stem but its keeping them nice and damp.
The foam inserts you see are from a Pool Raft. I took a 2 inch hole drill and made the 40 cutouts. Then I cut them down the middle so you can separate them and put in a clone.
The holes in the lid are 1 and 3/4 inches. That way the foam inserts fit in nice and snug.
As you see I also cut the lid and placed it down in the rubbermaid. This is to avoid any leaks from the lid. It has holes in the handles, i filled them with a hot glue gun. The lid is resting on these handles on the inside of the rubbermaid.
The Aquarium heater / thermostat is working great so far, ive got the temps @ 75 degree's
I added a bit of rooting hormone and H2O2 to the water.
The rubbermaid I used is kinda big but its what I had, and this 40 spot cloner will be great for my needs. Because it takes so much water, I added some things in the bottom to take up water volume. 2 liters with water and rocks as ballast to keep them sunk.
I did this so the volume of the water is less and the bubblers have to oxygenate less water. I also have my bubblers resting on these.
Still the water is making the sides flex out a bit. Ive covered it with plastic wrap for now.
Ive ordered a stronger air pump and larger airstones, right now iam using a 4 inch stone and a 3 inch disk with two old aquarium pumps. The new pump iam getting is a 75 GPH dual pump to run two 12 inch airstones.
I sure hope this thing works for me. If they do root iam gonna transplant them into a Hempy SOG grow.
Great pictures! i need to get some of mine up. I am still considering how long i want to veg my clones before i put em in the flowering set up.Here are some recent clones done in the bubble cloner.
