Not really posted much at all on this forum as I have usually got my grow pretty much dialled in, I HAVE however always struggled with cloning.

Up until last week I have been using a heated prop but come across this little puppy: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AERO-POT-Aeroponic-Portable-Heated-Propagator-BLACK-BIG-METAL-MISTER-8x-Pot-/221145629617?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&hash=item337d4e83b1

To cut a long story short I have just cloned 6 x C99 and 6 x Cheese Bomb with a 100% success rate in 8 days and these are without a DOUBT the healthiest looking cuttings I have ever produced :) The main draw for me is the fact you can set it up and then totally leave it to do it's own thing until you see some roots without worrying about the babies drying out, being over-watered etc etc.....some of you may have seen something like this before but I haven't and have been growing for a few years and just wanted to make all my fellow growers aware of this little gem of a product.....ANYONE STRUGGLING WITH CLONES? BUY THIS!!!

A Uk grower here I just bought one of these so I will post my success on this thread the first time I use this will be with seeds maybe jiffy or root riot. In the future I will be using cuttings just have to find that one strain for me.

This looks great and so does the $$, rooting is by far my weak point "i aint got time fo dat" LOL. first 2 rounds, 7 day root using gh rapid root, 3rd round, little sissy roots after 13 days. i think i know why (used tap instead of distilled ro, oops) but still checking them 2-3 days is a PIA!

Clones should have no problem rooting if you have tap water rather than distilled, distilled is better but that shouldn't be your problem. I once was told that a cutting at the point you cut off the mother plant (the stem) has a small hole running through it and if air gets into this hole it can kill the plants instantly so maybe you have to be faster dipping into cloning solution (not 100% how true this is).

It's actually Mr Green that says this, when he does clones about 50 minutes in, Here's a link
One of the best grow vids I've seen.

So I got the aero-pot works perfect so far I've put beans into the jiffy pellets provided with the aero-pot last night so I'll keep you all posted once some sign's of life come.
The price at £29.99 is pretty amazing for the product that you get and also good for a hobby grower that doesn't want to buy a huge aeroponics propagator which is one of the main reason's I bought this.

Glad all you folks liking this!.....like I said absolutely fantastic compared to my efforts using heated props etc over the last 2 years...I'm that impressed I'm gonna stick my grow journal up for the clones outta this badboy (like I said healthiest clones I've ever taken), shoved them all in straight 12/12 and Houston We Have A Monster (Grow)! hehehe :joint:

Peace Out Troops

Totally agree on the cost and how amazing it is when you see what you get for your shekels!....WAY better than a typical heated prop at roughly the same price.

  • I'll correct that! It was actually 6 x C99 and 7 x Cheese Bomb in 6 days!!! :smile: I totally crammed 'em in the one aero so ordered another after seeing the results.​

Folks the creator of the pots I use and buy from ebay's ID is: vrchamberlain

Please be advised that some other dodgy git in the UK is selling them but they are lower quality knock-ups of the system Vince sells.

Peace Out Folks
