looked on their site as i couldnt find my book ,bought it 4 years ago lol copied this from oxyclone site

Setting up the oxyCLONE

1

Fill the oxyCLONE with water to the fill line. We have found the best results from bottled spring water. Municipal tap water is also acceptable, and the chlorine has proven beneficial. We do not recommend using reverse osmosis or distilled water with the oxyCLONE.

  • oxyCLONE 20 - use 1.75 gallons of water
  • oxyCLONE 40 - use 3.7 gallons of water
  • oxyCLONE 80 - use 7 gallons of water

2

Place the Active Aqua submersible pump, with Venturi air intake tubing attached, so that it sits below the fill line with the suction cups against the wall. The air tube, Venturi tube, and power cord will come out of the oxyCLONE through the small cutout in the back of the cover. Click on the thumbnails below to view the proper positioning of all components.

Remove all packaging from your Active Aqua air pump. Connect one end of the ¼" clear tubing to the air pump outlet, then connect the opposite ends of the clear tubing to the inlet of the air stone. NOTE: Make sure to mount the air pump unit on a stable dry surface above the water level near a 120V power source.

4

Position the air stone at the center of the bottom of the reservoir, directly in front of your Active Aqua submersible pump. Please note that the included air stone by Active Aqua will begin producing bubbles as soon as you set up your oxyCLONE. However, the air stone will produce even more bubbles after it has become fully saturated. The saturation process may take a day or two, but this will not delay the rooting process.

5

Plug in the air pump and the submersible pump. Observe the aeration of the water and make sure you are getting plenty of bubbles and movement. If you are not, you may reposition the water pump and adjust the Venturi air valve until you feel that you are receiving the maximum turbulence (the turbulence provides vital oxygenation). You can adjust the air and water pumps for minimum or maximum oxygenation. Run your oxyCLONE continuously 24 hours per day.

6

Attach cover (lid). The cover fits very snugly inside the rim. The tight fit helps to prevent leaks and maintain high levels of humidity and oxygen inside the cloning chamber.

Since thye mention no ro I again Ass u me its the minerals @LilJonB

I know there are some minerals in my tap water. I believe unless its RO water there will be some minerals. Not positive about it though.

YIkes…I was hoping I could just put them in the pods in the humidity dome. I bought one today, and pods.

The plants need to go into flower this weekend so I took cuttings today so they could recover a bit…

The wedding cake is going to stretch A lot …I don’t think il have room.

Can the plants become root bound in flower and be Impacted negatively…??
Check out new pics lol
Might be similar to last ones. BUt they are ready . Just need to control the temperature during dark time…and control darkness

I am going to get some of those cheap humidity catchers to control humidity a Bit…

This is my favourite one


Wedding cake


And sir bushy

Don’t worry, you can clone like that. Many people do it like that. Open the dome once or twice a day and mist them lightly with water. You want to keep the humidity up.

I use old plastic soda cups from the gas station. They work for one seedling or a clone.
I have a problem with my temps getting to hot during the day. So my lights get ran at night. Just make sure they stay on long enough to get in there and do what you gotta do. I pushed my time forward a little bit more then I would like due to over sleeping way longer then I should. Hehe.

I hooked up humidity dome and a light above. I am going to set up a tarp To divide the room and make a cloning/veg section . Will just be a floating tarp room to seperate it .

I also figured out my heat situation for light out.

I am heating the room with a space heater on a timer and am feeding the warm air into the tent. It’s helping with circulation and temps. I think it will work for flower too .

Yeah definitely use the heat from your tent to your advantage. Smart Stuff!
