I know you're out there, but there are hardly any threads discussing aeroponic cloners here.
Okay so as the title says, I'd like this thread to be for all your Aero/EZ/PT/ Cloner discussion. Post tips and tricks, plans for building you own, pics of yours in action, whatever.
So me, being the sucker i am, paid retail (about $200) for the "PT Cloner" Which is FHD's version of the ever popular EZ cloner. After having a good look, i decided i could probably build one myself for under $100, but alas, whats done is done and here we are.
I, like many others, was sick and tired of rockwool. Its always too wet or not wet enough, grows algae and crap on it after a couple days, and has (at least for me) inconsistant results.
So $200 bucks later i was the proud owner of a carboard box.
But alas its not this box that is the star of our show, but the one contained within.
Ignoring the pumps that don't belong to the unit, this is what it came with.
Basically its a rubbermaid with some cross tubing hooked to a pump and 4 aquaspinners/360 aerospinners/whatever you want to call them.
I'm gonna assume you know how to cut a clone and skip a step here.
At this point i don't need/have 80 clones, so i took 28. Pretty simple so far. Filled the tub about half full of PH 6.0 water with a teaspoon of rooting gel and about 5ml of H2O2 35%. Put an aquarium heater in there and set it to 24C (about 75F)
Cut the clones as i normally would, dipped in rooting gel and placed in the neoprene pucks. Set it and forget it. Running 24 hours under a 4' T8 with one warm, one cool bulb.
Heres what it looks like running.
It took about 6 days, but eventually i had root nublets.
When they got to this size i changed my water and dropped the temp to about 18 C (somewhere around 65F) *this consisted of shutting the heater off, whatever temperature it drops to is what i'm gonna have to deal with, i dont want to spend hundreds on a chiller.
Added 10ml h2o2, prop-o-gator (root accelerator) and super b+ (pretty much superthrive) at half reccommended levels.
3 days later.
3 more days and they're ready to go.
Thats pretty much how my first aerocloner run has gone. I'll never touch rockwool again, such a shit show compared to this. A little under 2 weeks from cuts to established plants is pretty good by me, hopefully with some tweeking i can speed it up even more, but so far i am completely satisfied.
Please post all your aerocloner related shit below.
