I changed up my DIY cloner for one of those King cloner's Bob has a couple of months ago and still dialing it in. It's less water in the res and I've still been hitting 90%+ but taking a hell of a lot longer since the switch. I have a probe and have found 70-75F is getting better/faster results now. Just took some out at 2 weeks but the last batch with cooler water (65-70F) took 3 weeks and about 60% success. I didn't put any sort of heater in but I took it off the cement floor and put it on a piece of 1 1/2" styrofoam to bring the temps up a bit.

Yea, it's probably just my environment , the weather stays pretty mellow here.
My cloner runs in a small veg tent. I have had roots in 5 days to 14, never had to go longer, that I remember,

You know bob she doesn't get any better than this. She's in "blow up" mode before you've even got her in a medium. You started with a great cut and she returns the favor by unleashing her magic :)

My aerocloner's water temps hit 82F. I can bring it down temporarily with frozen soda bottles, but it won't last. This seems to be the heart of my problem at the moment.

The get the pump on a timer to control the heat it puts out in the water if yours is submersible in your setup?

Tried that and my clones didn't root as well. Everyone says to run the pump continuously. I have a short cycle timer to set the run and rest times to whatever I want, may need to try that while I'm gathering supplies for a water cooling loop for the unit (!).
