Cloners needed

i use 2 ways, rockwool and aero, you can use flourescent lighting, when you have a dome on your tray you can keep the light just above the dome, i use 2 x 15 watt under-shelf lights about 18inches long and have great success, the dome is key for a few reasons, first when its on it keeps moisture in, keeping the rockwool moist, if it was off, that rockwool will dry up fast killing your clones, 2 - clones thrive in high humidity....as for keeping the dome on, you would want to take it off for a few minutes 1-2 times daily to let them get fresh air in there,also misting the fan leaves once daily is recommended. if using rockwool every other day pick up a cube and see if its much lighter than when you first wet it, this is an indication it needs more water, try not to over do it with keeping th RW wet, you want moist not soaking

i use strait perlite or sometimes mix it with peatmoss, makes a very nice airy medium, i leave humidity dome on till they are rooted and are getting transplanted into 1gal pots

hmmmm, aero cloners?

ill bite! i get uber sexy roots in 3-5 days, 1-2week is just triple- xrated taboo porn.

anywho

i like buying things, expensive, cool technological things. even for growing....i also like to build things, especially when i think they are too overpriced, so if i dont wanna buy it, ill build it (if im in the mood that is...lol) but none the less i like building stuff.



i built me an aerocloner outta a

-strong/toughbox from Lowes about 20 bucks
-2" netpots (40 site)
-2" neoprene collars
-250gph magdrive pump with filter already (Danner makes one hell of a pump, imho) These are the same pumps in numerous premade sold hydro setup & systems
-i use fogger sprayers (something like the ones in the grocery store in the produce section). I initially wanted 3/4gph sprayers, but they wasnt working to my advantage, so i installed 1gph which give me about a droplet size of 60-80 microns.

I think micron play an integral part of aeroponics. The finer the mist, the more available it is to the plant and the less concentrated nute ratio means saving nute aka money.

I run recycling timers, i have some digital as well. I use Sentinel DRT - 1 & I also use C.A.P.'s ART-DNe recycle timers. I use at 30 seconds pump on and 4 mins pump off. This is highly important in my opinion as any plants need time to dry out, there is no exception with clones, they like to dry out too. As a matter fact, that is what kinda encourages the root growth

anywho, i started with the classic Lowe's yellow topped, black bottomed box, spray painted/coated the top with black, then put a coat of flat white on after it dried

that was basically it, besides building my manifold. i just drilled holes and popped my sprayers into grommets and wahlaa

(all clickable)

you can ignore the clear bin, that was getting a flat white coat as it for my custom ebb and flood setup

finished white coat, 2" neoprene collars and 2" netpots (always order bulk when you get netpots and neoprene collars, you get them for way cheaper and you have extra to play around with. i got 100 collars and 100 netpots for 50 bucks

purple tips are 3/4gph and black are 1gph

manifold, i plan on adding more for extremism. yes im apart of the overkill club, ask around

3-5 days rooting (on average)



roots so fine make you think its just some big ones





as far as rooting hormones and cloning solutions, ill have to say, most have the same ingredients and what not, some just perform better and/or more concentrated

my favorite rooting gel is dutchmaster replicator, although i will use whatever i have if no more, or just water if im feeling froggy.

rooting solutions? i like canna's rhizotonic and cannazym. i also like clonex rooting/cloning solution.

i've heard house and garden's root excellator is the bomb and ultra concentrated. thas good, cuz its hella pricey, but im always experimenting and cloning, so ill give it a try.

i also like fogaponics for cloning, but im not finished experimenting.

rapidrooters in prop trays works wonders too. 5-7 days and its all gravy.

nice work everyone
