I know there are a ton of DIY cloner Tuts here but I
since i got the good deal on the pump and already had the net cups and inserts my cost was $25. if you have to buy the net cups and neoprene inserts that should only add about $10 to the price.
Items Needed:
1 x 5 gal bucket
1 x 5 gal bucket lid
2” net cups (optional but recommended to hold the neoprene inserts)
2” Neoprene Ez Clone inserts
1 X Water Pump (I’m using NGW EcoPLus 633 gph Submersible Pump - picked up at home depot on sale/clearance for $20)
3 x 90º ½” threaded pvc elbows
3 x 2” ½” threaded PVC nipples
2 x 4” ½” threaded PVC nipples
2 x ½” threaded PVC caps
Timer (optional - i ran 15 minutes on/15 mins off, but you can also run 24 hours if you like)
I drilled 8 - 2” holes in the lid with a drill mounted hole saw.
You can use regular non threaded pvc parts and glue the together but I chose the threaded pieces for ease of breakdown for cleaning, and i dont like the idea of pvc glue mixing with my water.
The nice thing about the NGW pump is that it has a ½” threaded port on the top which makes for easy attachment of the sprayer assembly.
Assemble pvc parts into an E shape with the 4” lengths on the outside and the 2” section forming the T, and the middle section connected to a 2" nipple and threaded 90º which connects to the top of the pump.
Drill a row of holes in the top of each tube. (for my first incarnation I just drilled 6 holes in the top. 2 on each side. Next time I might drill more holes just smaller) the holes I drilled were approx 6mm in diameter.
Cap the ends.
I had roots beginning to form in 48 hours, and was able to transplant after 1 week. All of my clones are thriving and doing wonderful.
