Cloner Using Bubbleponics and Fogponics

Here is how it begins. A Cheap Sterilite tub

I used two 3" flexible air bubbles. Most aquarium supply stores carry them. Bent back
and forth. The idea is lots of bubbles, and everywhere

2" Site Plugs and I drilled a hole in them for the cloner. Trust me, this seals MUCH better
than just cutting a hole and putting a foam puck in it

1 7/8" holes cut into lid. The 2" site plugs fit tight and leak free and the foam pucks fit
leak free in the plugs. This works hands down better than cutting a hole and sticking
a foam plug in it

Birds eye view

1/4" reflective bubble wrap will be glued to the sides and bottom. This is to prevent
radiant heat from effecting the reservoir temps

I painted the outside of the container w.ith Krylon Plastic Paint. This paint wont
peal or chip like a latex or lacquer based paints.

This shows how the fogponic generator is placed. After trial and error, and due to
reservoir temps, I found I needed to put the fogger on a timer. Equal on and off times
cured the problem. The black gooey stuff is black RTV silicone covering the pretty
lights (that probably don't help the roots, so it got covered)

Each of the 3" flexible air bubblers has it's own air supply. I want LOTS of small bubbles
everywhere. Above the regulator you can see where the power cord from the fog
module leaves the reservoir. It had a neat waterproof rubber sealing ring built on
the power cord. This is one of the cheap units I robbed from one of those fountain things.
Any flea market should have one.

Though one cant realistically flower in a tiny box, or not much anyway, what you can
do is clone a 6 pack and get them rooted before moving them into the main grow cab.
All about space. All about stealth

With a simple lid swap you can grow an actual plant. My first unit only incorporated
the bubbler, and it functioned fine. The fogponics running 50% duty reduced rooting
clones by almost 3 days in most cases, so fogging DOES work. Just remember especially
in a small reservoirs the fogger can generate enough heat to increase reservoir temps
(in the 6 QT unit) by 9 deg in a 24 hr period.

I used 1/4" foam tape (the dense kind). Not a drip of light from here and i can access
it with ease

hell yea man, nice post nice picks, great idea, the only thing i would do diffrent is scrap those air snakes for 10" stones. are you using the powersupply of the computer box for the light?

I have been using a small fogger for cloning and I have 18 sites that are 2" each. I started using the STG medium and it works great. No bubbles and lots of fog. I have not had a problem with temps as the fogger I am using is about the diameter of a quarter.
