I'm in the market for a cloner

[Dano2k3]

Agreed, i use to get so worried about getting clones and ensure to start well. I don't have any special equipment and so far i've not lost 1 in 60, perfect 100%, probably just jinxed myself . Hardest part for me was learning where on the plant to cut. I watched a few videos on youtube, then found a couple by Jorge Cervantes, the ones he did are pretty easy and clear to follow and exactly what i've been doing...

Nothing wrong with properly executed sea of green. But a properly executed sea of green, gives plants a little space, does not cram the floor with pots till no extra will fit, and then flower 1 week old clones on sheer brute force.

That is just torturing THC out of her. There is a world of difference (in my mind) between a properly executed SOG and a cash-crop SOG.

Thanks to everyone.

Great project and lesson.

How many day,s in the clone machine.. I just got through planting clones, I would let that go another day or two .. Happy Growing.

8 days by my counting from his update on the 5th, where he had clones in. Nice result. They need a little longer in there, but yeah, great result!

I believe it's day 7.
I was actually going to let them go for another 7 days to get some size able roots. I think they will veg better that way. Otherwise they seem to stall until enough roots grow.
Using other method ( in coco and keep them wet) the roots were a little bit more than this and the clones when transplanted stall for about 2-1/2 weeks and just work on roots.
We will see what they look like in 7 days.
I will post a pic then.

i use the Botanicare 25 Site. like the thread suggests use AeroPonics for cloning. Ive had mine for 2 years. still running like a champ. Happy Hunting.

seven or eight days till roots, great job,,

 

[Rubby813]

What a difference a day makes.
May not even need a full. 7 more.

 

[Dutty Panty]

I let there be roughly 1-3" of roots before transplant

This is a weak one. Unfortunately it's my only pic and clone box is away right now visiting 3 of his clone box friends so they can all work in harmony. Sometimes I get busy go back and roots are 12"+ long in the turbo cloner. That I'd not recommend cause roots get into the sprayers and shit.

 

[Rubby813]

I'll be happy with the weak ones. Lol
Looks good to me.

 

[Rubby813]

I was having too many problems with the spray heads so I just played around with different size holes and patterns and ended up getting good coverage, so all I have is multiple stream spraying straight up and it drips down the stems.
Seems to be working.

 

[Dutty Panty]

Yup misting cloners are my favorite for sure.

 

[PlanetJ]

I can not recommend just an airstone in water. It works, but they are weak, took ages (10 days or so), and now I have to nurse them to health.

 

[Rubby813]

I am ecstatic over the way this cloner works !
Great big thanks to all who contributed!!!
This is only 11 hours growth!
Un- freakin real!! Check this mornings pic.

 

[Dutty Panty]

Glad you went diy. Great job man. Figured you'd like it.

 

[Rubby813]

Lovinnnn itttt!!!!!
Thanks for pointing me right.

 

[Dutty Panty]

You seem to have a knack for this.
