Great job man! I could never get mine to work. I gave up on cloning for now, maybe I'll try again some time. Again kudos dude!

Thanks so much!
Give it another try, would have been a small thing as to why they didn't shoot, as long as your water isn't too warm they should go great.

I have tried a few times... maybe eventually ill try again. I think I'm just going to buy a commercial clone king or something next time, fuck it, then at least I'll know if it's me or the equipmentThanks so much!

Seriously i would build your own if you can, you'll get a higher quality pump and better manifold with more misters, etc.I have tried a few times... maybe eventually ill try again.

But if not i would grab a Clone King, i was thinking of getting one but did the DIY.

I realized a few things that might help you.
It's better to have more misters than not enough.
If you ever try to make one, when you drill out all your site holes make your manifold to suit all your sites.
180deg misters for the perimeter, 360deg misters for inner.
Water pump is quite important, you want a pump that can move around 660gph or more.
You want instant spray the moment you turn it on.
Bigger is better so it wont warm up your water, i can run mine all night, mine has run pretty much 24/7 for the last 10 days and today it gets shut down.
Just use plain tap water, don't adjust Ph.
Be afraid of going too hot, but don't be afraid of going too cold.
They seem to really enjoy colder temps here and there, kind of mimicks real world conditions for I'm sure roots get cold water from time to time.
Colder temps, like 62-64 they seem to enjoy, that with a manifold that sits closer to the stems. Those stems are closer to the water giving off loads of oxygen.
Cut your stems under water, then just dip em and stick em.
I had one stem that didn't look the best after it almost died in the dwc cloner.
I mixed a little Clonex in some water and mixed it all through until 100% mixed, i cut the rotted part of them stem off, scrapped the edges of
the stem and then put it into the water/clonex mix and re-cut the bottom of the stem right beneath the node.
I then dipped that stem into a separate container with just Clonex and threw it in there.
Pic below is of that stem which was saved.
A good pump will send that mist right up below your collars, you can see the roots that popped out from the highest node.
But technically they were all saved from the dwc cloner, the temps they saw that day was way too hot, so i realized even if stems look like they wont root they will, you can save them as long as their not too gone.
Upload pics to this thread of your CM if you want, share you dimensions and i'll tell you if i can help with anything.
Just remember I'm new to this and can only help with what i have recently learnt.

Thanks man! I will have to go dig it out, maybe I will clean it all up and try again this next round before I flip to flower. They are just babys still though do still some time for that. Thanks again man!I realized a few things that might help you.

10 days later and all 8 cuttings have rooted well and their now transplanted.
I had 4 cuttings that rooted within 5-6 days and were transplanted, but the others took a few days more due to have more damage than the others.
Water is reallly clean after 10 days, running some bleach through it now and she'll be ready for 20-30 stems next time.
I had tote wrapped in black wrapping which was great, now it's all done i will paint it proper instead of just the lid.
So mission successful after trying something new, i will never go back to trays with hoods, this way is by far the easiest way, well for me anyway to get clones rooted fast.
Building this aero cloner has given me a great idea, but whether it works or not time will tell, if it does i will start a thread and wax lyrical about it.
Hope a few of you enjoyed my first thread here at RIU.
Hasta la proxima.
