    Clones

    I find that with domes, a bed of moist perlite on the base helps to raise humidity and allow O2 around the base of the clones. I don't think nutrients are a good idea, at least not until there are roots popping out the sides and even then only a real low mix like 1/4 normal for babies. I like...

    Home built cloner won't root, WTF!

    I used clonex to make the cuts and the ones that were fat enough to split at the base, i did. I used regular tap water b/c I don't have an R/O filter. I just added an airstone to the water two days ago after 2 weeks of no rooting so hopefully that will help things. The tops still look really...

    Home built cloner won't root, WTF!

    I don't have a thermo. It felt cool to the touch so I added the fishtank heater on a 15/15 interval to bring it up to room temp. I live in a cool climate. What's an ideal temp?

    Aero-cloner: dome or no dome???

    I built a misting cloner and I'm wondering if I should be covering the cuts with a grow dome to raise humidity. With the dome it stays around 65-85% and 25-40% without. Your thoughts? Is it necessary to have it?

    Home built cloner won't root, WTF!

    Ok so priced the timers that work in short time increments and they're $80-$100+ and since i'm only using aero for cloning then transfering to dirt, that's a bit spendy. So instead, i hooked up the pump to a timer with 15 min increments so it's going to alternate 15on/15off 24hrs a day...

    Home built cloner won't root, WTF!

    Ok that makes sense, still confused as to why others report high success rates with nonstop misting but I'll try it out. Q: would 15/15 work or is that risking dryout w/too much time off If so, I'll need a proper timer, any suggestions?

    Home built cloner won't root, WTF!

    Really? All other posts I've read say u shoul spray 24/7 & you're saying 20% that?. What sort of timer do I buy to get a 1on/5 off cycle? I have 1 that works in 15 min increments. Could a 15on/15off schedule work?

    Home built cloner won't root, WTF!

    I'm having issues with my home built misting cloner. Ive had cuttings in there for over 2 weeks & nothing, no bumps or baby roots but the cuts still look green & healthy as the day they were put in. So, whatam i missing. My ph is kept 5.0-5.5. Just yesterday I added an airstone to Add O2 to the...

    Hydro Cloning, Stabilizing water PH??

    I'm using a home built misting cloner box and I'm having trouble getting the PH to stabilize, it steadily goes up as the days go on. Yesterday I left it at 5.2, figuring it would go up a little and today, less than 24 hrs later, it was up to 5.6. Three Questions: 1. Is it normal that the ph...

    Is 85watt CFL suitable for cloning?

    I'm wondering if this is a suitable or even ideal wattage to root clones. How much is too much for lil' guys?
