Hey - am I the only one that grows a lot of clones? I found everyone I know wants some and I like SOG with 30 +plants, 2-week veg-

I've built a few 12? cloners and my biggest is 72 (I could add 20 more) anyone do a lot of clones? How are you set up?

I was going to build a tower of these in totes, with lights on the sides, and a humidity dome of some design, no idea yet about that> Tarp??

Anyone got some links, pics, words of knowledge?

Also what do these sell for in legal areas & non........:)

AND- while U R here,
How many clones do you guys do per collar? I've tried 5 but 2 only ever grow.

Does anyone use a non-sprayer design?

And am I the only one that enjoys taking tiny little branches and try to clone them. I've got collars cut horizontally 3 times, so the stem-like poke out-small. I get maybe 3 out of 10, and they always seem to grow the stoutest plants, so I keep those :)

Why not just buy additional cloners?

24 site DIY cloner. I could have fit more sites by using smaller holes. I don't use it anymore but still have everything. It put out some clones back in the day though.


Nothing but respect for you as you know. Yet why the work, pumps, chems, changes and cleaning? Just tap water, timer and watch for cats here. LOL.

Good evening to you and all.

When you're doing 40 plants at a time hydro that type of cloner is the best for the job.

Ive always used bubble cloners,set it and forget it.Works for me.
Home-made or Amazon? I forgot about bubblers, I actually ran one for 6 months, but the stones or water level was a problem if I remember, needed a float set up.

Anyone not use collars and 2" cups? I still put at least 3 in each one, but 99% I get 2 or less, I take lots of tweener clones so...

That works. I roll from seed these days. Always something new. Clones have their place. And I do take them on occasion. But I typically grow from seed to finish.
I get something of interest and it is a call for clones. Now that I have a library of seeds I'm in the hunt as well. Hoping for a few winners this year.

Yea I was clone king -then I had an incredible string of misshaps- went to seed for years.

I must have offed 500 clones at least. Circut breaker trips, plugs fell out, left unplugged, blew out the outlet, mechanical timer got stuck, sprayers all plugged-get the picture? :)
