Pets & plants can make us look like fools...
I can barely make out the multiple structures per location, but the multiple itself signals boy junk..pretty sure back is boy; front left, not yet there...i’ll confirm in a day or two.
But it’s certain what the front right plant is carrying...and funny sh!t, this one’s the mutant!

Near the top of the page there's a spot that says 'watched threads'. Click that and I'll bet you'll see several threads you've seen to watch but haven't been getting notifications from.

Gettin prepped for next steps....cleaning and sanitizing cloner....washed res and top with scrubbie, warm water, and dishsoap.....rinsed....refilled with water added a little bleach, and ran pump for 1/2 hour...emptied, refilled with plain water, pumped for 1/2 hour, emptied and repeated...rinsed & air dried....
Looks like crazy good coverage
Make sure you add exterior grade weather strip to inside rim of top
Sanitize your whole system, then rinse well
Place res in tent on drain pan, jic; fill w water and pH
I’m using tap water...top number shows ec, tds, ppm
Cover and run overnight to volatilize any remaining chlorine, stabilize pH and temp
Set light for ~50 ppfd, here using hlg 96e @ ~15w, ~24” above tops
Added an incandescent light to warm airtemp

You're a legend my Oregan fire starter, my cloning sucks and I have been thinking about building a mini aero cloner to stop me building new bloody lights all the time

Lots of diff size/type containers, but all use a submersible pump, piping/pvc, 360 degree misters...You're a legend my Oregan fire starter, my cloning sucks and I have been thinking about building a mini aero cloner to stop me building new bloody lights all the time

Google “ez-cloner build”.
I’ll take and prepare cuttings in next few days...
I usually get 100% roots in about 10 days, this is the way to make rooted cuttings..

After a few mLs of pH down, holding steady at 6.0, air temp 77, no leaks...added garden friendly fungicide (more concentrated hydroguard bacteria)...no nutes...

Temperatures, mate. And ensuring whatever cloning medium you use does not get too wet or waterlogged; ie, moist, but with enough air/oxygen to promote root growth. Cloning can be slow going in winter if you don't have a heat pad or warm cloning chamber.You're a legend my Oregan fire starter, my cloning sucks and I have been thinking about building a mini aero cloner to stop me building new bloody lights all the time

My media is really wet: water!
fortunately it is full of molecular oxygen, right temp 68-72F, right pH 6.0ish, w beneficial bacteria, and no nutes (no roots, no nutes)...
Lighting: about 50 ppfd
Humidity dome
Air temp mid- to upper-70s F
Basic aerocloner cutting method:
1. Have a glass of water, scissors, razor blade, rooting hormone gel and/or powder, and sanitized neoprene collars,
2. Pick your laterals on mama, you want at least one pair of leaves and the growing tip plus 3-4” of stem per cutting,
3. Cut them off, stick in glass of water immediately, to minimize uptake of air bubbles,
4. Take a cutting out of water; working rapidly, cut off all leaves except top pair and growing tip, make a 45 degree cut on bottom of stem with razor, dip bottom 1/2-1” in rooting hormone(s), insert in neoprene collar w at least 2” of stem under neoprene collar, insert in lid of running cloner, cut off 1/4-1/2 of tips of remaining leaf pair (don’t cut anything on the growing tip), repeat.
5. Put on your humidity dome
6. Smoke some dope; start the 10-day countdown clock; keep water, air, lights in range.
7. When you have a bunch of root tips on cutting, transplant to your favorite media.
8. Post pics in your journal; and pat yourself on the back, for a job well done.

LOL! Your media is actually air - the mister provides the moisture while the stems hang free.
And if I was going to use rooting hormones in an aero cloner, I'd just add it straight to the water as the misters will wash it off the stems anyway.
But you don't really need hormones. When I run out of cloning gel, I just use honey on my clones. It has hydrogen peroxide to keep them sterile, and a bit of sugar for the roots when they grow. But I clone in peat pots, because I grow in coco.

BTW, did you make that one yourself? Because you did a good job. I imagine the constant pump keeps the water a bit warmer, too. Or do you have your misters on a timer?
