Absolutely :) In fact many people don't even keep mothers, other than as a backup reserve in case of emergencies. It is perfectly fine to clone, then clone the clone, then clone the clone of the clone...and so on, ad infinitum. Mothers can get rather big and require extra allocated space as well...

thanks steve and prairie! Yes you guys are right, I need a chiller. Because I'm using LED's my room temps stay low (70-72) so my rez is usually around the same, but ideally it should be around 67-68. I do the very low tek frozen poland spring bottle method, but it's not terribly effective...

Sorry for my absence everyone. And to stevehman, you are right, I didn't give any pertinent info when I posted my question. Sorry about that. I started my clones in an ez cloner using nothing but clonex solution. The plants did grow decently well in there, but remained in it several weeks too...

So this being my first aeroponic experience, I'm not sure if this is a phenomenon that all hydro/aero growers experience, but my pH rises roughly .05-.1 per hour. I would assume that the plants are secreting metabolites or waste into the water as it's being sprayed over the roots and this is...

I'm so jealous Kronno! Where ever did you find that true clone? That could be the best of all time, or one of them anyway. That and Heath Robinsons' Black Rose, just cause it looks so insanely cool!

Great method 420 :) One question: What would you do if you wanted to avoid soil altogether and put the sprouts into an EZ-cloner? Is this feasible? Would the addition of an aerator/bubbler to the water make any difference or allow them to grow any bigger before removing them?

Noooo, don't let this thread die! Wingman, Kronno, are you guys in comas from the Alaskan Thunderfuck? lol! come back to us!!! :) I thought I might make a few more contributions that may or may not have been stated already Headband - Never had it personally but many who I know that are...

This may sound really noobish, but what method would one employ to germinate seeds that never go into any medium? My intended route would be to germinate a seed such that the resultant seedling can be put into an EZ-Cloner held in place only by a neoprene disc. Then once roots begin to form...

Revshot, great info! What do you use for pH up?

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if you think I should remove the bottoms of my netpots if I'm using neoprene pucks? I have a aero pipe pvc setup and I use 3.5" neoprene pucks to support the plants. I stick the neoprene in the top of the netpots because without them, they won't stay put in the pvc...

Thanks for the link steve, I'll dive into that right now. I can't figure it out either. Most people report exactly what you did which is roots after about 5 days or so. I was scratching my head after not seeing roots for 14 days, after which point I put a recycle timer on the aero cloner and...

Due to an unfortunate series of circumstances, my aero system has not been able to be completed. Therefore, my clones have been sitting in my aero cloner for over a month now with nothing but clonex solution. I have weakened the strength of the solution to about 300-350 ppm and keep the pH...

Thanks Sky, that's very generous of you :) I've been doing as much reading as I can on the subject. I made a solution of 80% water and 20% neem and dipped each clone. ...and now, we wait.I really don't want these little bastards to spread off of the plants and into the room. I'm considering...

I used the Clonex solution at a dilution of 2 tsp per gallon. Didn't use gel. I've seen people use gel in aero cloners but it intuitively never made much sense to me because the spray from the misters would just wash it right off. Unless the thinking is that the gel seeps into the stem and just...

Hey Sky, yeah sorry, I kinda sneaked it in the first post. It's a Botanicare 48 site unit that I actually bought off of a friend. He gave it to me with the pump included and a 2 tube air bubbler with 2 stones. I think it's pretty similar to an EZ Cloner so I just call it that. Just picked up...
