I just built a homemade cloner from a popular DIY and I want to make sure im doing this right. I am running behind on getting my plants moved into flower and dont have rooted clones yet. Im coming close to outgrowing my space!
This is my cloner.
-12/31/2010-
-After I ran the cloner for about a week of testing I tore it apart and cleaned it VERY VERY WELL. (I read lots of horror storys)
-I filled it with only (per everyones recomendation) my well water that is has 200ppm
-I phed my water to 6.3-6.5
-Water temp stays at 75 consistant
-Room temp is 75-78 consistant ( I could easily take it to 80-85?)
-sprayers/pump is running 24/0
-Light is 24/0
-First cloning experience-
-I cut some clones last week and started in root shooters? After having trouble with temps in the humidity dome I pulled the clones and put them in my new aero cloner.
-I cut some more clones yesterday. I left the 2 clones I cut last week even though I dont think they will root (I had tried my well water and 1/4 strength olivias liquid cloning solution at first and my ppm was 400+ and they burned a little).
-I cut 4 clones off of my #1 plant. I used the under water cut method 3/4" under a node and tore the node down to take some skin with it.
-I cut 2 small clones off of my #2 plant to experement. It didnt have exposed nodes to tear skin, so I took a razor and split the stem down middle 1/2" long down the bottom (as found in my new marijuana HORTICULTURE BOOK), all was performed under water.
-Clones were then dipped in olivias cloning gell (not to cover the stems with thick layer, but to pack rooting hormone into the wounds as I figure this will just get sprayed off and just cycle around in my aero cloner)
-Clones were cut on 12/31/2010

Is this set up right?
THANKS in advance!
