Those are healthy plants, unlike the over fertilized haze plants you grow. Looks like you knkw a thing or two about too much N
Well at 20 days flower Iād say Iām on par to out yeild your haze plants
You sure seem like you have a lot to prove LOL. I was new to growing once, I know what your going through.
This is awkward. I thought we were more casual, @Farmerjoe420
I love growing your seeds but I can never be exclusive.
People never cease to amaze me
Well this went downhill fast.
I clone in a little Rubbermaid cloner I built myself. My secret is to use hydroton as a medium. The popping bubbles keep the hydroton moist but encourages root growth.
There are many ways to do it. If I had to do it again Iād have added more sites for plants.
All the best
Straight clay pebbles or do you use a rockwool/similar cube to anchor it in there?
Straight clay. Itās not the most user friendly medium for actual setup (pour it in etc) but Iāve had good results. Iāve considered the neoprene collars but I keep thinking thereās something about the moisture buffer of the hydroton. Iām unlikely to change unless thereās some newly proven magic.
Iāve always wanted to build myself a little aerocloner
Does anyone notice that cuttings from clones root more readily than cuttings from seed plants or is that just me?
Itās really quite easy
Small Rubbermaid
Air pump
Net pot
Hydroton.
A plastic bag to cover it all.
Iāve been using it for many years.
I havenāt noticed a difference but my numbers are pretty small to draw definite conclusions.
I tend to keep lines alive by taking clones of clones. I lack space and it works better for me.
I dunno I rooted a male seedling clone it seemed to root just as fast as the clone of a clone of a clone. I tossed it in the garbage yesterday.
I did that after watching a few videos where it was shown that clipping the big fan leaves inhibits the leaves from growing larger and forces the focus to the root development. Of course itās youtube so all āscienceā is sketchy at best.
Sweet, I love all the ingenuity on here!
This is what im setting up for a cloning machine.
the far half for the fish. The closer half for the sistersā¦ Iāve always used flouresents, but Iāve got these cheap leds so in gonna try them on it.
Nah, donāt do that. Make your own!!
I have pictures of my Kitty Litter Cloner. Iāll post some pictures of the bigger one too.
I got these at Amazon
Pump - https://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B085BSQ4HZ
Net Pots - https://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B073WJFHQH,
Sprayer Nozzles - https://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B01IR7IUHM,
Inserts - https://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B07KHTLWLM,
Fountain Kit - https://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B00ADY5PJO, all at Amazon. I got the fountain kit because it has several types of connectors for various sizes of PVC/tubing.
This is one of all the pieces, the pail, the pump, (itās sitting on a piece of Plexiglas I cut to fit the bottom of the pail so the suction cups would have something to attach to), with the 1/2" PVC connector, manifold with the sprayers, the lid, inserts, and net pots. I cut the net part off of the net pots.
The pump connection is a double threaded connector with a threaded 1/2" slip fitting that the stand pipe fits into. That pic is upside down BTW.
The manifold is 1/2" thick wall PVC. This is important because the sprayer threads wonāt bite into the thin wall pipe. The sprayers require a 5/32" hole. I have a tap & dye kit, and I used a 5X0.9 tap for the holes.
This one is of the manifold connected to the pump.
Hereās the lid. I used a 2" hole saw to cut the holes. The holes arenāt lined out real well on this one.
And with everything in.
Itāll hold 12 plants, itās easy to handle, and the design is scalable. For a bigger cloner, you just need a bigger pump, a larger manifold, and more net pots, inserts, and sprayer nozzles.
I use 35% h2o2, KLN, and GH Micro, and Bloom in the cloner. The recipe is here:
Taking Cuttings & The PermaClone Recipe
I hate to buy shit that I can make myself.
Good luck man!!
Thatās awesome man, thanks for sharing. Will that work better than a bubble cloner or similar?
Yeah i just rebuilt mine. 1$120 for a damn pump. Did same built pvc manifold and new pump just using the ezclone shell now.
@Badger, I use almost exactly the same setup as @Guitarzan - down to the ānetā being cut off the net pots so you can remove the rooted clones without damaging the roots. I use a different (simpler) nutrient recipe, though. But the setup is virtually the same - and I get 100% success out of mine. With results like that, itās hard to compare it to any other setup, unless youāre comparing price and are willing to pay less for inferior results.
I described my setup here a few months ago:
