Struggling with cloning - need 30-60 per month

right now I have several mothers going and need to get my clone area finished asap.

Have had a lot of trouble cloning in the past using several methods.
This time am thinking a large bubble cloner, or just root plugs with no dome.
My grow area is 2x4x6' tall and need to build or setup a container to hold 60+ clones.

Any suggestions for a simple low maintenence DIY build? Thanks!

I use a tote with a clear/opaque lid and use root riot cubes set on top vermeculite to maintain humidity, works great .

Aerocloner will get results, even with hard to clone strains. I have excellent success with root riot plugs and a dome too.

You dont need it but it speeds rooting by slowing transpiration through the leaves. Remove the dome at first signs of roots. Good luck. Also a little trick, if your limited to say 48 sites you can always double up on each site with great success. Just be sure to separate them when they have small roots so they dont become tangled up.

Then you should be using Clone guard or anti wilt, stops transpiration dead.

Not too mention kills any bugs you might have on your cuts.

Well it doesnt cost much for a dome and it will last a lifetime compared to buying more products you dont need. With a turbo klone you can root clones in 4 days.

I suppose if your taking cuts from other people, but smart growers keep a setup clean and grow from seeds

Risk mold. Means nothing to me. 4 days, I know a guy that gets roots in 2 days.

So no call then lol.

True shit though, Flying Skull clone guard or vitagrow anti wilt and toss your humidity dome.

Your whole area is that size or just the cloning area? The tote aero cloner I built holds 34 cuts. 2 would get you 68, so a few extras. I used these plans

Get the black totes with yellow lids, I got mine at Lowes. There's 2 types I found one the "squares" on the lid are diamonds, don't get that, won't work as well.

See how one is a straight grid, one is cross cross? Find the straight grid.
