I decided I needed a cloner so I went down to the hydro shop and bought an airpump for 14 bucks and neoprene inerts for 11 bucks and 2 airstones 4 bucks. I had the container already. It was too much of a pain in the ass to try to cut holes that fit the inserts so I simply cut squares that the inserts sit over and works perfectly.

The clones are starting to roots and I would like to know if I could just veg and flower in the same unit? (probably short veg time cuz it'll be a sog) just buy a another pump annd add airstones as they get bigger?? Cuz I'm thinkin I can build 4 of these to have at different stages.

Any advice and comments welcome

That may work as long as your keeping the plants at a small size.. how many gallons of water does the container hold and how many plants are you planing on growing to finished bud in one unit? You may need to slightly step up the size of the units as you go from clone, to flower.. i dont suggest any vegitative growth ( guessing that you will be taking cuttings and not growing from seed) From clone to flower would be best in a system like your talking.. Two to three bubble stones would be good but im talking like... one of those rubbermade containers that hold like 20 gallons of water and you can make two of them into like a 4 plant system DWC or something.. I dont think that small cloner will do so well as a full cycle budder but something simmilar.. maybe a bit bigger will work.. And seeing as the roots grow stright down in a DWC unit you should have no problem with the transport.. The only thing.. your cloner is very short.. make sure the get the clones out before the roots get tangled together ( duh ) because that could and most likely will damage your plant BADLY

Nevermind that cloner is deep as hell dont worry about roots tangleing .. nice job it looks fantastic compared to the first one i made LOL... i would still use something atleaset twice that size for flowering and with MUCH less plants but.. if your trying to do an official SOG you could use something just a bit bigger and try to get a ton of cuttings into a unit and flower them all right there.
