Aeroponic cloning

[new grower rory]

Hi I’m just starting out with a aeroponic clover would you leave the mist thing on 24 hours a day

I think it's better in an Interval of 15on/off

 

[spek9]

I do, yes.

 

[new grower rory]

I do, yes.

Thank you I think I will also

As permitted by water temperature.
Let it run and watch your water temps. Use a timer to cycle it on and off as needed to not heat your cloner. With the cheap pump I used in mine I have to run it 15/15.
If I were to replace that pump with the same dc pump I put on my other box, I'm confident I could run it 24/7

BTW homie, the PVC "collars" are working so much better than I eve4lr could've hoped for.

Better still is to buy a analog deep cycle timer and play, but typically 3 minutes on ~ 10 minutes off 24/7

im doing 15 on 30 min off ,water temps are 68-70 0 issues

 

[BobBitchen]

24/7 always

 

[TImeForAnotherDAB]

Personally I rock 2 min on, 10 min off.

Edit reason: Continuity

Beautiful.

I don't doubt for a minute that 24/7 works great. But it truly depends on how low you can keep your water temps. Some can't get that dailed in, so the rest that the pump gets helps with keeping water temps low(er)

That's some nice root structure. The stems look pretty thick for what I usually put in my cloner, so I'm curious. Would you mind upping a pic of the top growth of those clones?

Also, how many days in the cloner did those plants spend?

tnx Spek,
These were from topping some new seedlings that Im sexing now.
they were 14 days in the cloner.
Transplanted today.

Those are nice looking clones. What's your environment like (res/ambient temp, humidity)? Do you just use pH water in your res, or do you add anything beyond that?

Awesome roots...I have been experimenting with pool shock, and had pretty good success my first run. I lost a few as my temps were a little high. But nothing but RO water and pool shock.

Im lucky with my environment, I live a couple blocks from the beach in So Cal.
I just use non PH'ed tap water, no hormones. I have used KLN & Pro TekT @ 5ml per 3gal rez in the past, but I've notice no difference without.
As for temps, I don't do any control, it's whatever the weather gives me.
I use a Cone King, T5's @ about 16"
