@GroErr I just figured out how my cloner keeps leaking. It's the latches on the handles. The water is hitting the holes where the latches connect and water drips down the sides

I just need to seal those holes. And my cloner should be fine and I won't have to buy the clone king. For the time being I adjusted all the sprayers to spray away from the holes.

Nothing some putty or a plug won't fix, a lot of those totes have those air holes. Mine was the standard Roughneck tote, no air holes but even with some door insulation around the rim it would leak from time to time if the water level got below a certain point. I took the lazy route and grabbed one of those King cloners, needed more sites and didn't want to bother with modifying my leaky boat ;) Cheers.

I do want to buy king clone. I just have so much other shit to pay for first. So II have to use that cloner for a little longer. I should have bought the clone king originally.... oh well. I know I'll have more issue in the future. I had zero leaks til last month. Now I have had constant leaks since then and it took forever to figure out.

Haven't been following the details but sounds like CA is coming under attack on the growing front, diminished grow rights compared to old laws?

Yep. It's bad. The so called legalization initiative Auma strips away prop 215 medical and limits grows to 6 plants and 1 ounce. Anything beyond that is 18 months in jail. Licensing is too expensive. $7500 application fees, licenses running from $20k to $500k plus the cost of everything else. At minimum to play the recreational game. It would cost $300k a year to stay afloat and would have to produce a minimum of 200 pounds a year.

#@$! that's what it was looking like in the general media. I'm afraid we'll end up very similar up here, talking legalization next year and medical will finally get re-instated in a new program this August. But I have a feeling that anything beyond personal/medical in relatively small amounts will be subject to so many restrictions and costs, it'll be out of reach for anyone other than the big boys with deep pockets :( Not a biggie for me, if I can grow my own meds legally I'll be happy but a lot of small growers are going to be looking for jobs up here next year...

This is the livelihood for thousands of growers in california.theyre going to be out of a job so.to speak. What are they supposed to do. Get a job at Walmart. Minimum wage doesn't hit $15 til the year 2021. Costco pays better. They won't hire you if you have post high school education. They don't want any of their employees to have outside prospects and leave.

Really sad to hear this, stay strong Darryl we're pulling for you. California, one step forward, two steps back since 96'. My city decided in January to ban commercial grows under the new grow licenses.

Yeah, sad situation, those who pioneered a lot of stuff and drove/supported the changes for easier accessibility will get shit on in the end :(
