5gallon bucket, 12 2" net pots, 12 neoprene inserts, some pvc pipe primer and glue, 360deg. ez-clone misters and a 396gph pump. bam....your cloner for under 50 bux.I have cloned with 100% success with this design. On the way to at least 50-70 clones. When its hot I use frozen bottles of water and I have even let the water in my cloner get to 80+ deg and still cloned flawlessly. No rooting gel, no nutes just water. Didn't even ph anything.

Get a cup of water, cut the clone and put the clone in the water, making sure to tweak for air bubbles, give it 20-24 hrs of INDIRECT lighting a day. I just sit mine in the corner of my bedroom when ive water clones. Takes up to a month,normally 2 weeks approx but they will root for you.

If you want to make a cheap cloner go to walmart and buy a 4dollar aquarium air pump and 10ft of air line, air stone and a sterilite container...not clear, and plop those girls in water with an air stone. they will not sprout roots in 5 days maybe 2 weeks. You want clones in 2 weeks ready to put in your choice of medium....spend 50 bux and stop fucking around. You will get results when you decide to get serious. If you dont or dont have the funds or smarts to build a cloner....Buy them or have a buddy hook you up. You send me 50 ill build it for you and ship it free! Its all about patience man... I have had strains take a month I have had strains take a week. If they are not rotting let em go.

It doesnt happen with out pix! Lots of topped plants gave us clones! Some are seeded some are clones......Which ones? excluding the obvious red cups. We just finished the veg room today...Not even close to our medical capacity. We made room for 240 plants and have a perpetual harvest planned for every 2 weeks. Should be fun! Now off to the 12.5x30 flower room! whats in store for this! thread jacked!

This new photo attachement set up is lame...
Good cuts come from good mothers that are round and bushy. Not tall and skinny.
I only use a dome for a few days. A properly cut clone should be able to uptake water and nutes solely through that 45 degree cut. I personally use a dome for a couple days but it's not mandatory. It depends more on your environment.
There is really no need to spray your plants. I spray them only after initial transplant because they are really stressed out. I do a lot of cloning. I like the aero cloner but i crank out too many to use one. I personally buy 12" Rockwool slabs for $10 and cut around 330 cubes out of it. Normally rockwool cubes are $10 for 48. The average grower can just buy the pre cut. Over the span of a year pre cut RW will cost me thousands more than my technique.
After a few days my plants go into a small flood tray where they are fed once a day via flood and drain. No roots yet though...
My fastest strain pops roots in a week. The average is still 10 days to two weeks. Indi
cas tend to root the slowest.
If you put the spray bottle down and feed your plants through the cloning process you don
't just have a clone at two weeks...you have a plant. Most clones that see foilar feeding once a day or 2x a dry are wilt
ed cabbage looking plants after a week or two of that.
You don't need to foilar feed. If you do you are probably nut ma
king your initial cut properly or you are just used to doing that. The plant can feed itself just fine with a clean cut.

cloning is easy people shudnt need to complicate things to much you can throw them on your windowsill even and they will still root it just might take a couple days extra.
if you know the basics like cutting it and stuff there shouldnt be any problems.

Thanks...The a/c keeping it around 75 is great when its 90deg out! One of our best things is we have an entry way to the veg and flower room. Lets us change clothes and shoes before we enter either room and we have a seperate room for all our ferts/equipment etc. We will see how long it stays organized

The easiest for me was to just cut a clone and stick it in a cup of dirt no gel no powder just a spray bottle and t5 lights.

Nope, you dont need to, but if it makes you feel better you can use seran wrap or something, make sure none of the leaves or growth point or anything other than the stem touch the water. I dont mist them either, they dont need it.
