Lesson I learned from aero 1 to aero 2. Don't need to cut the leaves at all. No need to ph water at all. So just a recap my following steps so far for a set and forget kinda deal.
1. Have a jug w/ a cup of water with a drop of clonex solution
2. Cut clones 45° cuts and scrap the stem a bit
3. Fill the res with water (I use tap) for ever gal of water I use 1 cap of clonex solution
4. Dip the cuttings in clonex Gel put them in the foam neck thing and in the hole.
5. Once step 4 is done turn on the pump.
6. Look for leaks and obviously check your light is working properly. (I use a t5 from sunblaster hung literally 3" away from the tops)
7. Everyday just open up the top to see how the flow of the sprayers are.
8. Count the days until the roots come.
9. If the leaves yellow don't worry just keep watching and when the roots are long af transplant them. They grow hella fast within the first week.
10. They are usually ready to pot within 7-10 days. The funny part is you'll have the odd 1 or 2 that have tiny little roots. When you are ready to pot them all just pot the tiny ones too. I never had an issue yet.
I think my next step is either find a smaller plastic tub so I have a smaller base. Currently this big box is not ideal (size too big, uses too much water and not enough cloning sites) I might end up picking up a turbo cloner with 100+ sites. Rather have the smaller size as I do all my clones in a tent lol
Now I have to get my flower room ready!
