My DIY EZ-Cloner (really good way to clone)

[Smallzz420]

This is my first time cloning ever. I though i would share it with you all.
I built my ez-cloner for just under 55$(for everthing) I though about getting a real one, but to pay 300 some odd $$$ to get a ez-cloner is a little steep i thought. So i got on to google looking for DIY stuff and found this guy that gose by the name KingRalph on International Cannagrafic that talks about making one of those ez-clones for under 60 bucks

Here is what i made

this is the pvc set up

i cut 18 sites, you could do more, 18 is alot for me

i cut my rings from some neopreme mats i had

here is it running

This is all good but dose it work??? so let us find out
first off i'd like to say that i have no exp cloning, going by that i figer that i would have a higher rate of failer from my lack of exp. I was shooting for 12 clones so i took 17 cuttings (1 site has my power cords come out it)

i took my cuttings at a 45 and placed them right into water after being cut, they where then placed in the cloner

for water i just used tap i didnt bother with the ph it was really high like me, 7.6 or close to that

it was really nice the clones never wilted the whole time they were in the cloner with no dome, no misting, no any thing just two t8 2ft away





they all rooted in 7 day with the pump on 24/7 and water temp around 71. I dont know how hard of a strian danky doodle is to clone, 100% of my clones rooted. I was very imperssed on how well this worked. I ended up with 5 more clones then was needed for this run. 12 were put it to pot with soil, the smallest were thrown out (it's sad i wish i could have planted them out back)

I think I let the roots grow to big before they where transplanted this is the most wilt i had the whole time. from what i've readed you should transplant when there 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch long. if your doing hydro you can let them grow longer.

they all look alot better after a couple days, really starting to stretch, time to move the lights closer.

thanks for reading
and your input

wow very nice...just made something like this..u used strait tap water and the pump on 24/7? what size/ kind of pump...and im interested in how did you cut that neoprene mats? with the same bit to cut the plastic wholes? what was the mat? or where do you find that...

This is almost exactly what you buy when getting the botaincare 25 site cloner. The internals are made of PVC just like this. Only different is they fit it into a much smaller footprint which someone could do as well. Like say a 5 gallon bucket or similar smaller container.

With that much PVC it may be difficult to keep the water pressure up for a optimal aero effect.

For the next guy going DIY like this I really recommend scaling down as cloning solution (if used) isnt cheap to run in such a large container. My main reason for down sizing from a ezcloner to the smaller botanicare which uses roughly 1.5 gallons of res space and has a much smaller foorprint. (real estate in the GR is valuable :) )
