First time cloning using a diy aero-cloner and just looking for some quick advice
I built an aero-cloner using a water pump, mini-sprayers, and a sterilite tub. This is based off the diy aero-cloner you see all over the web.
I bought a couple different types of mister heads at home depot and couldn't really get them to "mist" or "fog" as they were supposed to do. So, I used 180 degree sprayers instead. I don't have the sprayers spraying directly on the stems, but mist is getting to them because the stems are dripping.
The stems are dripping about once a second. Are they getting too much water or is that about right?
I'm using a Rio 800 for 8 spray heads. Do I need more pressure to make the mister heads "mist" or do I need to go to a hydro store and get high quality misters?
I have the pump on all the time. I've read where this is the best way to get the fastest roots and I've also read that 15 minute on/off works better. Any comments?
I've got 2x24" florescents 12" above the cuttings. One is on the blue side and the other is warm. Is this okay for lighting? I know it's supposed to be "indirect", but that doesn't tell me all that much.
Thanks for all the advice
