Ok here we go. I don't exactly have all the information I need at hand (or time) to make a legit "tutorial" on a DIY aerocloner.

And this will be nice for me because I could use a little help with the thing as well.

Here is the DIY 6 site aerocloner:

The inside view with lid removed:

It makes roots faster than anything else I've tried:

The stuff needed:

Rubbermaid Tub and lid, any megastore
PVC piping, 1/2", hardware
PVC 90degree Elbow fittings and Tee fittings, 1/2", hardware
Sprayer inserts, hardware
220 Gal/hr submersible pump- hydro store or elsewhere for less $ probably
Little cone shaped hydro insert thingys, hydro store
Ez-cloner Neoprene soft inserts, hydro store

I would buy whatever size Rubbermaid tub+ lid you want. Based on how many sites ya wanna have. Go with wider and shallow instead of deep though.

Here is one spot I'm struggling. The cone shaped hydro insert thingys, lol.
They look like this:

Once the bottom of these things is cut off and they are glued in place, the neoprene inserts slide in and out as needed and don't slip thru due to the taper.

That's the top. This one is leaking out of the top, but that shouldn't be hard to fix.

This thing is actually fairly simple looking inside. The bottom of the tub holds water. The water is sucked into the pump, forced thru the PVP pipe and out of the sprayer sites.

Pump looks like this:

Once PVC is cut and fitted together it looks like this:

I'm not sure how he got the sprayer inserts into the PVC pipe. I'd probably try a soldering iron.

So I think I wanna build one of these myself. (I have this one on loan).

Anybody wanna build one with me? That would be a great way to make a real tutorial.
