I started out in a Ez Boner and I liked it but.....


1 It got hot in the summer from a water pump running.
2 I didn't have the number of clones I wanted it to have.
3 Large unit held way to much water.
4 Louder then It needed to be.
5 Water pump was 85 watts vs air pump of 10 watts.
6 Price was about 30 times more then a simple bubble cloner.
7 After over 10,000 clones I find the bubble cloner faster by 4 days.

Thing you need but dont have to have. Remember your grandma used a mason jar
and her shiet was better then yours.:o

1 Black tool box from anywhere. I got mine at wallyworld for $5.33.
2 A couple air stones again I got mine at wallyword for $4.something
3 A piece of abs or any othere flat plastic. Find something man.
4 2'' net cup got 6 pack on fleebay for $3.15
5 ez clone collars pack of 20 for $10.00 now you can build your friends some or cycle though them.

Now I'm not going to say do this or do that as I didn't even come up with this concept.
Its just I see people still buying rock-wool(with and without bugs in it) and worse throwing it away
after every use WHY??? Here are some pictures of how easy this is. By the way I used a dremel to
shape the bubble cloner lid\top.
A few tips
Sand the inside edge of the holes with steal wool after you drill them.
For god sakes cut the bottom of the net cup off so you don't
snag you root hairs off pulling them out.
One more tip do you see the collar that has one side as a and the other b. if you need 6 clones then just make a 6 site cloner and put two in a couple collars till they root then just toss the extra before they get tangled that way you always have what you need or the better of them. The a and b are for labeling purposes in case I have different strains in a collar. Example kush red A. Bella red C.

This is for a 8 site. You can make a 400 site out of a 4x4 flood table and a piece of corrugated plastic the sky is the limit.
I get roots in at least 7 days every time with 100% success rate.
I have built my own aero cloner and it is a waist of time and expense as it does not work any better.
Thats all I got for ya. If you got a better way please let me know cause I love easy!!:-P

Ya its about that easy. There are hundreds of designs this is just one I made real quick for a friends tent setup and he loves it. It took about 30 min to make. Have you ever seen someone put a cutting in a glass and put it in the window sill. Even that works but you have to change the water every day or the water will go stagnant.

I made this post because I don't like to see people waist money and rooting in rock wool is a waist of money and sucks. Rock wool hold way to much water and if not placed just right when putting it in a dwc bucket lid will rot your cutting. The main point is you just don't need it and your better off without it so why buy it? The only reason anyone should use it is to root a cutting for someone else or for nursery so they can sell them to you. Rooting a cutting cost me $.000000002 cents if that because the water is all i buy:-P.

An important note you will not need any kind of dome for this as the cutting will not droop in the slightest. As a matter of fact I have taken a cutting from a drooping mother many times and they will stand up within an hour of being in the bubble cloner same for any aero cloner. That should tell you something!
