Having hell cloning..

when do you do this do you let the water drain thru or hempy style with mini rez?

Just put a little water in the bottom of the tray, just enough to cover the slots in the tray, then with the dome on top the water will condense on the dome and rain back down. I change the water out daily.

When they get roots you can add a little nutes and open the holes on the dome to start hardening the clones.

Whatcha think about a setup like this?

I’ve always had great results with rock wool and dome but it takes some work and can get finicky.

Terrible results with the clone king. Don’t know why. Gave up with it.

For shits I’ve been putting cuts in a glass of water and every one roots no problem. Turned out to be the easiest most maintenance free way of getting roots. Give it a try.

In my opinion you are missing the chlorine in municipal water. Wasted time and money on the fancy toys in the past. Just a starter tray, coco/seed starter mix, 5.8 - 6.0 tap water, a dome, a heat mat with control, rootone, and an 18watt t-5. Almost always 100%.

Best of luck. Should be easy.

After my second pump burned out I switched out the sprayer for an ultrasonic mister...those things make some nice fuzzy roots.

Decisions, decisions.... I gotta get something quick and try again. We're taking down a harvest right now, and I need to get the next round ready.

Sterilize your cloner really good. And make sure to get a growth node in the wet zone. It does help. Sterilize everything involved in the process after every run. It will pay for it's self. Unsanitary growers who say different just are lucky. No chances. Set your self up for success.

I actually cleaned the shit out of them this time after failing before. Soaked everything in Physan20 overnight, ran the pumps with it, rinsed twice, used fresh pucks, changed the water out twice, used a fresh razor blade. It’s baffling me.

I guess I’m really also looking for something with less hassle. Pumps, jets breaking... ugh.

That's why I switched to the ultrasonic mister. I could use the same gear and ditch the problems with pumps and jets. Just drop the puck in the water and fogetabowdit.

My technique is my journal. It works. Basic and fairly cheap. Full step by step with pics. Hope this helps. I only promote this method now.

Rapid rooters with 50 spot tray. I use only 25-30 a tray, so they can have room. I soak the rapid rooters in 8ml/GL of hygrozyme for about 10 min. Dip the cut in clonex, plug em in the rapid rooters and you're done. White strong roots guaranteed in 5-10 days. 100% success rate everytime.

OP

Whenever my ezcloner starts acting slow a shot of REZ Clear has resolved each time
The other thing is , have you replaced your foam inserts ?
I find it best to replace them every few months

I'm using one of these 20mm models in a 3.5 gallon bucket. It's way overkill and could easily handle a 60 site tote size cloner.

Ive used brand new ones every time. This last try I just added plain water and a couple drops of Physan20

I have the same bubble cloner .Smoke has. It has an air pumping a water pump for backup.

Never a problem with it.
