just built a hydroponic dwc 16 site cloner for 20$ (should cost you 40$ tops)

So really simple cloner that clones faster and easier than rockwool and soil methods. I didn't take any pics my camera is out of operation so this will have to do.


Step 1 - Supplies
1. Go to home depot and purchase heavy duty rubbermade tub 2 gallon (smallest they have here) ($5) - If you want to make perfect cuts also pickup a holesaw attachment for a drill (15$ extra) - I already had this but you might want to pick up something to seal any leaks or to hold your airstone down- you can use caulk.
2. Go to hydroponics store or order 16 2" netpots and 16 2" neoprane inserts. ($16)
3. Go to store with aquarium supplies and purchase cheapest air pump, tubing, and airstone (15$) (I already had this)

Step 2 - The build
1. Drill 16 holes in the lid of the rubbermaid for the netpots - you can drill holes for the tubing also but not nessecary.
2. fit the neoprane inserts in the netpots and drop in the netpots.
3. caulk the airstone to the bottom in the center so hopefully it blocks any leaks (sometimes these have a pinhole in the center)
4. After it dries fill with water to check for any leaks
5. If there is no leaks hook up the airstone to the pump and plugin the pump
6. PH your water to 5.5 or so
7. Sit this thing up in your veg room far from the light if you use metal halide or put it under your lights at a good distance for fluros.

Thats it, you should get roots in 3 to 7 days if you monitor your ph. No more rockwool cubes to buy, no more waiting 2+ weeks for a good solid clone on occasions.
