I’ve been giving it a very low key try with my cuts from topping, just a cup of water with some Ful-Power in it, after a few days I switch that to a very weak Floralicious Plus solution, then into my recycled dirt with some extra coco to weaken it down. So far so good!

I made a thread describing the aeroponics bucket I made for clones and seedlings. I get 100% success with clones using it…

I use my planted aquarium to root clones. Plenty of nutrients in the water, and some LEDs overhead. Works fantastic, and my shrimp munch any algae off the roots as they develop.

This is the second time I’ve heard of this, awesome! I used to be an aquarium hoarder. This I could definitely try out just for fun, I love it !

The more I interact with you the more I think we really need to make this niagara/southern Ontario get together happen, or we need to get out for a fish and shoot the shit. Seems like we’ve got a decent amount in common!

I prefer using 1 gal. containers…I seen people using big tubs but in my opinion it’s unnecessary when 1 gal. container will do…I rooted way over 3K cuttings on that cloning shelf and was always working non-stop for 18+ years…

Hell yes! The good weather is hopefully approaching and I truly can’t wait for it this year! You know I’m in 1000%

Holy crap! That’s awesome 18 years who needs commercial made! and yes you know what it makes SO MUCH SENSE! All of the “pro” products I’ve seen have a small tub as well. But it only has to be enough to hold the water for the sprayer to pick up and/or the bubblers to take action and perform. I actually wrote this down a second ago because after seeing all of these I’m seriously contemplating making another Turboclone of my own.

The info that can be obtained on OG alone is truly amazing! Almost every day I’m learning here, honestly. I’ve been doing this for a very long time and you NEVER ever stop learning . And when some of the (HIGHER MINDS) on here converge it can be an absolute treat and a WEALTH of info.

That’s what I thought years ago, why use 5+ gals. of water when 1 gal. of water will work…as long as you know the basic principle of how a cheap aero cloner works…I’ve used a small plastic container that held less then 2 cups of water just to see if it works and it did…

Haha I actually did the same when first trying TINY pump, little air tube and a tiny stone, threw it in a cup and let it go, was so much faster than just sitting in the cup, like 1/2 the time. But it doesn’t take that much longer in my simple dome tbh. But it just makes sense if doing ANY kind of scale , even more than 5-6 at a time or if any need of speed.

EXACTLY how I do mine . Perfect link for anyone who hasn’t done this before. Thank you for that

Here’s my current cloning station, it holds 13 cuttings but that’s all I need because I don’t do big grows any longer…this black container can hold 1 gal. of water only and it sits underneath a LED strip light on my kitchen counter…

See, That’s perfect for most peoples needs tbh. I’m going to hit the store tomorrow and grab some stuff and throw one together. I know I’m gonna need it anyway

Its cost less than $10-12…you can get the items from Walmart & $1.25 Dollar Tree stores…compare that to the aero garden…

My turboklone was just under 200$ after all was said and done, and works the same. Probably shouldn’t have gave it away though

You can save yourself a fortune. Plus customize to suit your needs, and make it basically any shape/size/capacity. If only everyone knew this when just starting up .

I did a cloning test run the other day with about 12 cuttings I took. I labeled them in batches and soaked the stems in some aloe water for 24 hours then right into moistened floraflex cubes and then into the domed tray that holds them. They are just off to the side in my 3x4 veg tent with no direct lighting above them. I had 100% success on them and now I am behind and the roots are growing way out into the water below. It worked pretty well though, there are roots coming out the tops of the pucks as well on a bunch of them, trying to eat anything they can find lol.
I really need to pot them and toss a few more in. I was trying to get a mini SIP container I quickly designed, 3D printed out but then of course my printer ran into an issue and I need to take it apart to fix it now…Story of my life lol.

I’m finding that it really depends on the specific plant as to how long it takes to root. Yes the health of the mother is first and foremost, and most will root for me in 7-10 days using just peat pellets or rooter plugs in a mini greenhouse or dome (any clear large containers works). But some cultivars take 3-4 weeks while others in the same dome will show roots in as little as 5 days. In the domes, The longer it takes them to root, the higher the chance of them getting moldy. I don’t spray or water them unless absolutely necessary. If the dome shows any condensation and the plugs are moist, I leave them alone. If there’s lots of condensation, then vent some more or wipe the top off once a day and let them breath for a min.
Also, I’ve found that giving them lower lighting levels or even shaded will promote faster rooting, giving them too much light takes longer and they will yellow more before rooting (if at all). Plus, good use of small space
