Ok. I was thinking about making a 2'Wx4'Lx36"H box for them fully enclosed with light fan and vents. Would an aerocloner dismiss all of that?

It helps to have the aerocloner within a confined space, because it makes managing the environment much easier.

I have my cloner inside of a 2x3x3' tent, with a 240W Blackstar LED light, and a humidifier. I also have room for two relatively small and bushy mother plants that I clone off of. For the rest of my strains, I don't keep mothers... I just clip clones off of veg plants about two weeks before they go into flower.

I get healthy clones at first but usually mine get way worse looking cause I let mine flower and re veg . I wouldn’t get to worried ... they tend to bounce back once they develop a root system.

I saw a small tent like that the other day. That sounds like the ticket. Didn't think about giving them their own environment till recently

Some are rooted but most are not. The ones with roots definitely look better than the others.

Are they rooted? Aerocloner is simply a bucket with a pvc manifold and mister heads and a pond pump.Most expensive thing is the pump @$11-14.
You should also have a way of knowing your temperature & humidity of your environment.

greetings from the pacific northwest where we got snow

do you have simple tricks to keep the damn things from clogging up constantly. I still have my 8 pot aerocloner but have found it easier to throw away the pump that came with aerocloner. I fill my aeroclone bowl with water and throw in a cheap air bubbler and no more clogs. :-)

How are they getting clogged, and with what? An aerocloner requires water only. The roots certainly shouldn't be getting long enough to clog the system before they're moved into their veg homes.

Might want to consider buying a little roll of medical tape. The white stuff that holds up pretty good when it's wet. I take a length of it and cinch the tops of the cubes a little, so they hug the stem. I think it helps them root a little easier.

I think your cuttings are nutrient deprived. Maybe it's best to take the next step and plant them?

It's amazing how many different techniques people use to clone. There's a great guide at growweedeasy that gets you rooted clones in 10 days, and it works in rockwool. Careful on the rockwool drying out, biggest problem using that stuff, water the tray not the top of the cubes.

Would it hurt to keep them in my grow room? I've got a flower cycle going at the moment though.

If you have a room the tent is in,yes.Dont put them in the flower tent.They don't need bright light to root,or much light at all.just grab a 9w or 14w screw in leds bulb and put them under it.

No they aren't clogging the pump and there are no roots at all. I set it up just to do a few clones and from the first day i would have the little jet sprayers jamming up and I was having to replace them a couple times a day. I always wondered if I had a bad brand or needed a filter. I wasn't using tap water , I went to a local water store and hauled some home. thanks for any help

Right now I have them under a 5000 lumens daylight LED from Walmart. Not sure what it converts to in wattage or what the light spectrum is. I do not have a tent in my grow room. The entire room is used for flowering.

I cut my clones the day I put the other ones to flower. Is that not recommended? Should I do two weeks before from here on out?
