As for keeping it simple, that is why I went to aero,
add tap water, plug in, come back in 10 - 14 days,

here are roots today
how do they acclamate to soil? Everytime that I have had clones with water roots. When put into soil they need humidity for 5-7 days. A Ziploc bag over cup or pot.. Or in a tray and dome. If they don't get high humidity they die. Then it ends up taking a week longer than directly putting cuts in soil or rapid rooters.

and have yet to have an issue

Loving the root pron! Those are some sexy roots!

One of my tricks for getting roots in or out of soil is water. I saturate the soil until it is a liquid and put the roots in or take the roots out. Never had any transplant problems this way. I give them some vitamin B just to be safe.

did the other males survive?
Where did you get those colored foam inserts?

Mo. I saw a rubbermaid cloner on RIU awhile back that was made as BB mentioned above. Plumb it with PVC inside, H pattern, 360 sprayers as arero, with aquarium pump. Drill your top to fit inserts and line the inside of the top with weatherproofing foam so it doesn't leak. Plug it in and leave it alone.

@greenthumb111 - Or just have a friend drop off his extra cloner! Thanks BobBitchen! Doing a quick cleaning (not that it really needs it) and in go the clones! So happy!

What kind of light are you running over your cloner? Do the water temps get warm? Do you add ice?

Gratefully,
Mo

I've bumped my room up to 85 2 days ago. I like them to actually go through a little more water so I can use more supplement variations.

Cool - I can put them in my T5 cabinet!

I think Subcool swears by 78 exactly for clones.
sub seems like a noob at some things. Like with clones. They recently discovered using the tray inserts. I was using those 12 years ago. He soaks his clones in liquid rooting hormones. I thought they stopped making those years ago. Lol. They don't work as well.
