general questions about bubble cloners, or aeroponic cloners...

cowell · Jul 24, 2010

Hi,
I am a DWC grower.
I am trying to update my grow.... and must admit that I have read a ton of clone box tutorials, and see how they work.. I do have a couple questions as I can't find an answer, and wondering if I am missing something.
May sound like a dorky question...but,

Once you have roots growing in your aeroponic clone box, what do you do with them?
Do I just plant them in the hydrotron, and let them go to town? Or is it soil only?

Links would suffice too, I don't mind reading on my own!
Thanks

...from an aero cloner, I transplant mine into 3" netted pots (filled w/ hydroton) >>> then into 6" x 6" x 6" square pots (filled w/ hydroton)

If RW is a must...I've seen people transplant their cutting from aero into RW as soon as they start to see minor root growth (white bumps) :joint:

thanks for that post... I would worry that transplanting into RW cubes would damage the roots..
I went with regular cuttings in RW this time around.. but would like to experiment with this when I take next round.
I usually get roots 11-14 days after I cut them.. what are you getting using this system?

on the cloning boxes do you let the water run 24/7 or is there an off time

My setup usually has roots within the same time frame, aboust, they stay in the cloner for 3 weeks from the day they are cut from the mums to develop a great root system. Then to transplant.

...inbetween 3/4 lb. - 1 1/4 per/600 HPS w/ co2 , depends on strain. The more of an indica, the bigger the yields. Here's a few shots of Sensi seeds, Big Bud harvests.
