cloning/ homemade power cloner

here is the tute on the cloner. http://www.marijuanagrowing.eu/cloner-by-yelodrvr-t31484.html about $60 to build.

this one is similar to the one i built. sells for $190.

before i used this method i could not clone anything. now in 5 days i see roots. i take a cutting and place in a neoprene collars and do nothing else, besides watch them grow.

these pics are from day 1 and ends on day 20. i added nutes to a ppm of 200 on about day 8 and increased to 500 on day 20. i know i know. everybody says no nutes for clones. they just looked like they needed some. besides all strains are different.

these are bag seed BTW. i just flipped these to flower 2 days before last pics.

Very nice. I'm in the process of building a similar one. Only thing left to buy is the water pump and then put it all together. Tired of struggling with clones or waiting forever for roots.

Question - What size water pump do you use? What gph?

396 gph. sunleaves has them. dura and via aqua are a few brands. i get mine from local hydro shop $25. the one i use in the flower room is a 1500gph it was $100. overkill really, but the aeration caused by the spray is a great benefit.

this one $23.
