Aeroponic cloning and cloning solution?

Hey everyone, I was wondering if when using an aeroponic cloner if i should mix up a rooting solution to spray through the misters? Also, is using a rooting solution considered not organic? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I have a 99% success rate when cloning every time with the use of regen a root cloning hormone along with an air stone in my cloner machine. this stuff works awesome.

Thanks for the response DemonTrich, so does your cloning machine just have aerated water with the air stone, or do you have the misters that spray the bottom of the stems too?

its a 25 site aero cloner machine with 12 or 16 misters, I forget the actual number. I use 2.5 gallons with 4ml/gal of regen a root. I also put a small air stone in to aerate the water. also, the water is air bubbled in my water holding reservoir I have in my basement (I have 80 gallons of aerated h2o at my disposal (chlorine/chloride free). I will sometimes change the cloner water 2x in a 2 week period. if im super busy, ill just add some more water as needed and a bit more regen a root. I bought the aero cloner online for about 69.00 shipped. includes cloner machine, 25 site lid, foam inserts, net pots, spare misters, mister bar, pump and instructions.

this is after 10-13 days of cutting from plant.

I actually just got that same aero cloner DemonTrich, and thanks for the advice and pic. I have a couple clones that are rooting with just water currently, but I'm going to look into using some rooting solution

Also, what's the minimum length the roots should get before transplanting into your medium?

I'm pretty sure that if you have the misters going, the air stone is not necessary. The water is getting oxygenated already thru the misting process. How long does it normally take before roots appear? I have been using Botanicare's "Power Clone" ($52 a quart) in my 25 site cloner and also dipping the clones into Clonex gel and have not been getting very good results. So what I'm getting from this thread is that I don't need anything except water. Wouldn't I get worse results?

I have the seahawk cloner I was just using water from my tap for last few months and getting not bad results but have just brought regen a root for a try to see if it may work faster I've found that afew maybe 4 be ready then another few then another few but I kind of needed them mostly done all at once so I still do some old school way with just clonex and powder in a dome as well I'm thinking of buying another machine so I have more but yeah cause at the moment it's the same with the old school way to im trying to do a sog but just not enough clones at once to do it so yeah

Literally the best thing you can do for a aero cloner or water cloner is just pure water changed daily absolutely no additives until the plants have roots and are planted.
