Hello everyone. A few weeks ago I made an aero type cloner. Just a water pump with sprinkler head in a 5 gallon bucket with the timer set to 15 min on, 15 off. It's been working awesome with almost anything I put in it and I figured I'd try to go ahead an just grow a plant in it since I've rooted all the MJ clones I can handle.
The question is regarding the collars I made. They are foam with a material that seems almost identical to those cheap pool noodles.
They are very tight on the stems and although I didn't have any problems with the small clones, the oldest one was discolored on the stem where the foam was holding it. If I have to get another lid and cut holes for netpots I will but I'd rather stick with the foam if I can for an entire grow.
I have small and larger collars. I planned on using one of the larger ones until I needed to increase the diameter to accommodate the stem in a month or two when it gets too large.
I've already pulled my MJ clones but have a tomato for an image showing how tight they are.
(I haven't changed the rez in about 12-14 days so it's starting to get a little funky, going to change it out today)
What do you guys think?
