Cool Mist Cloner JustMeds

[JustMeds]

I am thinking if I can do it tonight I will have an idea when checking them in morning if they need more if not will let it go till I get home then evaluate again. I know they are clones but they look droopy to me like to much water. I feel as the roots start working more the problem will increase. That's my logic anyways.

 

[JustMeds]

Here they are. Just refilled with PH6.4 and PPM 90. Added 4 drops of each of the Z7 bottles also to the 2 gallon res.

I think this is day 14. I will have to check to make sure. Here is the pics after 1 day with a little food. They look better the leaves are standing up more I feel. Timer is set at 30 seconds on and 5 minutes off.

Pics in a minute.

For the most part those roots are coming nicely and they do seem to be standing up better than some of the previous pictures.

First grow is in sig, follow them along there.

Gals look good still. Going to see if I can get this thread closed and all questions and action can be taken to my new grow journal. Hope to see you all there.

Nice! Do you still use this?

I wan thinking about doing something like this with a fish tank bubbler in water in the bin below the clones. Do you think that would work?

 

[JustMeds]

They work. I am moving to the clones in plastic bag. It worked great on my White Widow clones.

Great journal JM! Noticed the link in your sig when you posted in GT's thread just below my hijack about building an aero cloning bucket. I'm thinking of going 1/4 or 1/5 on the timer (can't do seconds) after the first 24 hours. Would you change anything about your timing

 

[JustMeds]

@InTheShed the key is to not let them dry out, yet not drowned them so to speak. As the water evaporates it also helps cool the roots down and lets them get some oxygen, roots need O2. You will see lots of real fine white hairs like fuzz coming off the roots when you have it dialed in. Mine was a mist just a bit different, not much though. I would try 1/5 and watch the plants I think you will be surprised. I really think they would be fine at 1/10. If you set it at that let it run for like 24 hours like that. Then as gently as you can just before it comes on again try and lift lid and look at roots. Are they still wet or damp? As plants get bigger I think the time will need to go down. Normal clones I think will be fine between 1/ 5 or 10.

 

[lazyfish]

What do you mean 1/5 and 1/10? Is that spray time?

 

[JustMeds]

1 minute on spraying then 5 or 10 minutes off.

Thanks JM! I'm hoping this solves my cloning problems. I have very poor luck in pots and pucks.

For what it's worth, my fog cloner works with 15/30. Yes, I said 15/30 lol so if you're a tight arse like me, it's still doable

T yours looked good last time you cloned.

Is that less wear and tear on the pump? As a ratio it's 1/2 but not sure that works for cloning or is good for the pump to be cycled that often.

Mine was 1/5 minutes the last time I played with it. That was a lot of cycling for the humidifier but it had no troubles.

Pump came today and the timer should be here by Friday so I'll set it all up this weekend. I'll keep playing with the time until I see how long I can leave it off and still have wet roots. Thanks for your help JM!

Not a pump, using an atomizer to create fog. Fastest I've had roots is 5 days. Just saying if you have a 15min timer around, it is doable...
