That is super cool dude +reps. I was watching a utube video on something similiar. u might want to wrap the glass cause the roots like it dark. Awesome invention! Peace & happy gardening!

 

[sebastopolian]

Opps was trying to rep u not message u Sorry!

 

[lilappelle]

I was wondering if a cfl is strrong enough its like a 13wat or something**

This is for cloning? What do you have to actually spray the water up to the growing medium? There isn't any kind of dome or anything to keep in mositure? Clones need a high humidity and all your doing with that air stone in oxygenating the water... not water the plants

 

[lilappelle]

yea its for cloning i was told by my hydropinco store in my town that this would be perfect? wrong?

 

[BudDub]

Something like this would definately be better for vegging not cloning and no 13 watts of anything isn't gonna be enough imho

 

[BudDub]

how will your roots get water? they have to grow down into the water? how long will that take? a day, two days a week? a week with now water = dead plants

 

[sebastopolian]

I just notice that too. I have ezcloner & it mist the bottoms...As Bud dub said u need to get water to the roots bro. Check out how ezcloner works maybe u can make something similiar. Or bring your water up higher. Look up Bubble cloning. It was on a post here yesterday.

 

[lilappelle]

so i should throw it in my 400wat hps grow room

My roots are in water man

 

[BudDub]

Your clones have roots already? or the water level is just all the way up?

 

[lilappelle]

So i should go buy a dome?

I just cut these a few hours ago and they have no roots. I set it up so the cuttings are in the water and the pump blows small bubles to create oxygen

I would personally high humidty will def. help you out

So just place my dome ontop of the tank

 

[BudDub]

what do you have in the water? just straight water?

 

[lilappelle]

and super threve

Your on the right track just keep the water about 1 inch from the bottom of the cutting, the bubbles bursting on the surface spray water on the cuts and will work just as well as any clone machine. I made my first cloner like that 9 years ago and it worked great. More air the better keep the good work up. A dome will help and yes put them under your 4 00 keep them about 10 inches away or more so they are not to hot and to one side of the light.

dude i built one identical. works great, i keep the stems about 2cm under the water and the roots grow like wild fire! just change res regularly. I dont use any dome or mist the clones, they dont seem to need it in this system.
