Oh Bugs ....
Your opinion does matter...
and your OP kicks my little AG grow's ass to Timbuktu any day of the week...
As for RR... is that Rapid Rooters?
If so.. then no, they are not cot in half... just stuck in, poked with the stem....
I am not sure what they are, they are called Bio-Cells by the AG co.... very soft...
Are you suggesting I cut them?
See..
Thanks man...

Bugs,
Have you ever tried a bubble cloner?? Maybe its your temp. I keep my clone area at about 85 or just a little higher and I use a humidity dome. Your op looks great! I'm shocked you have problems cloning. Here is my setup, its dinky in comparison but I have consistent results.

Hey, thought I would add my 2 cents.
I haven't read every reply to this thread, but I see that alot of you cant get roots in a timely fashion(5-10 days). First off aeroponic cloners are the best and fastest to get roots, but they can also take a long time to root if conditions are not right. The right conditions are water temp must be at 78 degrees and a humidity dome is one of the most important things to have to get the rootst started. Humidity must be at 100% for the first five days and down to 80% for the next five days after that u dont need it. If youdo not have a humidity dome then you make one by building a frame made of wood and clear plastic(plastic wrap) to sit on top of your cloner around the cuttings. If you do not have the carpentry skills to make a dome than you can mist the cuttings 3 times a day for 10 days. Also you do not have to have a on/off time for the misting inside the cloner you can let it run 24/7 as long as you have an aquairium bubbler inside the solution.

Thanks newweedman. I have a daisy 8 cupped aero cloner and my first batch of clones were kind of small in size but didnt start showing roots until day 13. I changed the res water, stuck 3 large new cuttings in there but I didnt have a humidity dome. We have plastic cups I was thinking about putting one of those over each one but the daisy has a lip on the outside rim so the cups couldnt cover them completely. Im not good at DIY projects but would you have any idea what I could use as a humidity dome? Otherwise I'll spray them frequently.

There are a couple of things you could try depending on the size of that thing. You might wanna try a clear tupper ware bowl or beverage pitcher that will fit over it and also reach the floor at the same time. Maybe you can find a clear bucket some where that will work. It doesnt have to be 100% clear it just have to let light in. If it is around the same size you might be able to get away with cutting a milk jug in half and using the bottom half as a dome.

mini update....got the aquarium heaters that stay at a constant 78 degrees and i put my thermo heat mat under the cloner so the water is perfect now. i have a space heater at the growing tips and it is set for 80 and blows warm air over them. then i put a humidome over half of them just to see if there is a difference. i also took cuttings from as low on the plant as possible. i will only need 1 more set of clones from these moms then the little ones will replace the last 4 with 6 fresh new moms. i have definately noticed my bitches showing signs of old age and i will not wait so ling to replace them next time. cant wait to flower 4 of these bitches at the same time ....that'll be a huge harvest and off the books...so to speak. so i am going to buy some cloning solution for the cloner....i hear great things and it might make the difference for me. those of you that follow know what i mean....lol. thanks to everyone that reads this thread. it means more to me than it should.

Hey guys can I change the subject for a minute I have a homemade aerocloner that works fine. A couple of weeks ago they had a 20 site
Areocloner at the hydro shop a display model made by Botonicare for $20 so I bought it, my problem is my pucks fall through the holes with my clones in them man that piss'es ya off. So i go back to the hydro shack and buy new pucks still the same thing happens the pucks just do not fit tight enough every day when I check on my clones one of the pucks has usually fell through and water has sprayed everywhere anybody else had this problem or got any solutions. Other than going back to my homemade job.

If thats your problem then all you have to do is go back to that grow store and ask for 2" net pots, stick your pucks in there and cut out the bottoms of the net pot or you can leave them intact.Hey guys can I change the subject for a minute I have a homemade aerocloner that works fine.

After RW failing horribly, and the bubbler looking to only have 2 hopefuls out of 15...I went ahead and build an aerocloner and just stuck 28 puppies in it.
I currently have it 15on/15off, just used that because some other thread said it. Temps are hovering around 80 air temp and water temp, so as long as it doesn't go much higher I think I should be fine. I have some h2o2 in there as well.
The real test will be to see how much stem strength they have tomorrow morning.
If anyone has a basic guideline list or tips so I can make sure I don't fuck it up from the beginning I would appreciate it.
I don't require very many clones since my SOG op is going to be smaller than most(and smaller than id like of course) but I am depending on at least a % to root to give me what I need. Rest can go to dispensiary for all I care.

If you want all of them to root then you would run the aero 24 hours until you see roots from all of them. With cuttings you dont want any air to get into the stem, so 15 on/15 off is not a good idea. Your water temp is cool as long as it doesnt raise because that will start fungus. Make sure you use a humidity dome if you have one.

I actually turned it on to 24/7 after i posted that because it made me want to look around more and that was the consensus.
I am not using a humidity dome and while some people use it and some people don't, it looks like I am one of the ones who won't need to use it.
This morning they are all perky and proper green. The two that were starting to bend over last night are perfectly perky right now.
As much as Al has taught this place over the years, his influence on people doing RW cloning over aero seems...well...weird to me at this point. I know he couldn't ever get 100% like he could in RW, but for a beginner to consistently get roots...aero looks to definitely be the way.

My fucking daisy cloner doesnt seem to be working right and theres fucking white semen looking shit building up on the net pots, stems and the res. in the daisy cloner is covred in this semen shit. I just disinfected it 2 days ago, filled the res with 6.0 tap water added some lemon juice for PH down and now this. My cuttings have been rooting for a week now and no roots as of yet. My clones that I stuck in oasis on the same day has already started to show roots faster than the aero cloner.

Lemon juice isn't good for pH down...neither is vinegar. Get some proper pH down and some h202... If oasis works better then stick with that........

Whats up fellas
I just built me an aerocloner (it has 20 sites on it) cuz the RW thing didnt work for me either. So i built me this cloner so i can get sum roots but i dont know how to load this thing.
This i s what im putting in the water as i read a few post and this is what im doing. but please let me know if i should change anything.
20 liters of Distilled water phed to 5.8
30ml of 35% H202
5 drops Superthrive
RH is 30%
Water temp is 77 deg.
Air temp is 77-80 deg.
Im really trying to get this down so i will keep up on the thread to see what i need to change so i can get 100% results.

Keep in mind I just threw my clones in my first aero yesterday but your stats look near perfect to me. I am not sure if the PH makes much of a difference until roots form. Don't really take my word for it, I just know that many ppl just put water from tap straight in and don't even mess with it. Since they aren't taking up any nutes I want to say it won't make a diff until then, but again it might work better if you do. I did.
I made my cuts, then recut underwater, dipped in clonex and put em in. I also added clonex to the res. I don't think it will really make any difference as the amount of water vs the amount of clonex means it is hardcore dilluted, but it makes me feel better so whatev.
Keep me updated I'd love to see the progress.

I have to say the lemon juice seems like such an unknown as to what else is being added that you would probably be better off not using it. As above the real ph down is all I would want to trust.
