Help Cloning with a Bucket Bubbler?

I haven’t set mine up yet, but talking with a friend that has built and used them, he said on thing he learned the hard way was to cut the bottoms out of the net pots, otherwise the roots become impossible tangled in the net pots making it very hard to transplant.

Everything but this for me. I wanna be able to clean / replace them, and cant do that if they are glued down. On the other hand, if ya wanna glue down their supposed suction cup mounts, that works :slight_smile: (since the suction cups never seem to work on their own in a tub)

I use collars. made from foam, neoprene, pipe insulation, pool noodles, or even actual pucks made for the purpose made out of foam.

yes, rapid rooters not necessary.

So after I clip the clone and slice at an angle if I don;t put the clone in the rapid rooter how does the skinny branch stay in the netpot?

Rapid rooters are for using with domes, stick the bare stem into the bubble cloner.

can I add some round stones pebbles, I guess I just find it hard to drop a skinny branch into a 2 inch netpot with bubbles moving around lol

You could get some collars the same size as the top of the net pots

You don’t need the netpot. Just get neoprene pucks that fit the holes where the net pots go. Amazon has them.

I guess I just was lazy and bought one off of eBay. 36 site cloner, I have had to change the pump a couple times but it works great. I’ve yet to fill it up to 36 but this may be the year👍🏻

I’m going to have the wifey stop at the $ store get me sponge rollers or just add them to the netpots with a slit at the botom for the branch to go into the hole

Good idea :bulb:

@HashstasH I’ve used the kneeling mats in the gardening section of the dollar store to cut pucks from with good success :+1:
