HAHA well in a word yes.. Id much rather have a vetern respond atleast.. The person who started the thread would be nice..
Since he hasnt been back to answer ANY follow up questions I and others have asked..
Atleast people could follow up on their own tutorials, and answer questions people might have
.. Right or is that asking too much

well Id like to say, after 8 days I am getting root hairs from both clones I took 
I also started one clone in soil, just incase.. It also hasnt wilted over or anything..
Looks just as healthy as the day i clipped it
Also like to add, 2 clones in cup of water, have been under 24 hours of indirect CFLs..
So for me, it dont look as if 24 hours is hurting them..
Sorry for being an ass, it wasnt about who has the most posts.. I was just hoping for some answers from someone with more experience in cloning..
No offence to tatickx, I knew right away from his post he was also just begining to get into cloning himself..
I do appreciate, and respect his and everyones feedback regardless of their board status.

can i put one of these clones somewhere near my hps?
it says no direct sunlight. i wouldnt have the time management and time to actually keep one in the window and manage 12/12. could i just put one of these one a shelf ABOVE my 600w hps? its not direct light but still some light in the room....

you can clone plants in just a glass and some simple tap water, heres a pic of some 3 week flowering clones! in the new ghetto bubbler i just built, cost me ten bux. anyhow check it out, also a couple pix from there moms, just like ive found growing in general, dont make cloning any harder than it should be, listen to these pros!
Also i keep mine in indirect light (shaded light) till i see root formation, then with a drop or 2 of hydro nuts i place them right near an aquatic, actinic (blue), cool flourescent hood lamp!lol really, all these clones had awesome root balls in 5 or 6 days. hope this helps

I had major problem cloning during my first few attempts. I tried everything. I have done hours of research. asked the same question that have been asked here. though I let you know what solution I came up with. but first I tell you about all the failed attempts. maybe save you some headaches
at the time it felt like I was the only one having problems. friends said "just take a cutting and put it in water, that's what I do." well no shit, I tried that. it did not work. now that I look back on it. I probably did not wait long enough.
the first time I took cutting. I am not going into how I to do that. do some reading and you will get those answers. anyway the first cutting. I just grab a pair of scissors cut and stuck it a glass of water on a shelf in the grow room. like everybody said. it stayed green, but after 7-10 day no roots. gave up threw it out.
next attempt. after reading for hours. I went and got the cheap root hormones and sterilized everything. gloved up and took my cutting, put them into water. after 7-10 days nothing. not one fucking root.
next attempt. went and talked to the hydro-store guy. suggested that my environment was the problem. so bought the dome, the tray, the heat mat, the good root hormones, humidifier, new scissors, gloves again. went home set up the room to the proper temps and all. took cuttings under water to avoid the infamous air going into the stem, misted every day, maintained temps, and humidity. 7-10 day no fucking roots.
back to the hydro-store. this time I wanted to see how he did his clones. all legit plants btw. he had the power cloner set up in the main sales area. this in the same model. EZ Clone 120 Cloning Machine - Plantlighting Hydroponics his was clear so you could see the equipment on the inside. he said that he just take a cutting, and plops it in the machine and that's it. 7-10 days roots. only one problem its $300.
the damn thing is nothing more than a tote tub, air diffusers, water pump., air pump, a spray assembly arm.
ok this is what you been reading all my bullshit for, so hang on a min.
now everything can be bought at wally world, and pet store. unless you have a local hydro-store near you. they don't like to sell you parts as much as a $300 power cloner but when they realize you have half a brain and figured out you can build it cheaper they will make the sale.
this is a tutorial I put together when I built the cloner. now its not as pretty as the $300 one but I aint showing it off to grandma either. this is the first one I built. it was awhile ago. I do believe I change things. like I found these spinning heads, and a few other things. this is on a different site that I visit. so if admids have a problem with the link let me know and I will make a new one for RIU. to tell you the truth all I did was steal what I saw in the store and on sites like RIU so my concept is not original but replicated from other peoples post and tutes.
now I take a cutting. dirty hand and all. no root tone. no dome nothing. stick it in the cloner and usually in 7-10 roots. place in to 1in rockwool cubes, cubes into 3" net pot pack with hydroton rocks. I veg them right there in the cloner 3 weeks then to the new torpedo. torpedo? you will have to check my current grow to see what that is. hahahaha

now this will be my next project to build. the friend at the hydro store fills is 30x30 green house with commercial plants. he says he can get roots in 3days. he showed me some. they looked like they exploded out the stem.
Nutramist - Welcome to the new revolution in Hydroponics scroll down a bit to see it.
here are a few pics of my root just took them within the last few days. veged 3weeks, now day 3 of flower. all the info on propagation time, cloner time, veg time is in the journal in my sig.
i am going to be taking cutting as soon as the 6 i have going now show sex. i will post a tute on how i did it, and the progress of the clones.

i just re read my post/book. sorry about that. i said i used nothing, that is not true. i use a root hormone. it is the bottle on the far right. every hydro store will have some. stay out of wally world. get it off the net or find a local hydro store.
let me kow if any of this helps

That seems like an aweful lot of work when just popping cuttings into a cup of water usually takes only a few days to develope roots then off to a bubbler. And a few days later the same results.

show me pics of roots in 2 days just putting in water. not saying it cant be done. i cant do it. and i have done quite a bit of home work and many attempts.
i agree its some trouble. if your only working with 1 or 2 plants why bother. then again, i could not clone one with out this. and it seems many others are experiencing the same.
i was laid off at the time and had lot of time on my hands. but the real reason was because my job take me away from my home 5 days a week. i have no time to play with the plants. i needed a system that could run its self with a few visits for the wife. she has to water and feed the other plants i mean kids.
check out my current grow. i do nothing but go in and check the Ph, and PPM and adjust. o yea lots of staring, petting, smelling.
i burned up $120 worth of seeds, because my other system had to be checked on every day. water levels, nute, ph, water temps. all it was is a modified bubbler. added a pump and spray assembly same principles as the cloner.
hell her it is.
changed spray arm to this
i am a pipefitter by trade. but this sure dont take a fitter to build.

LIke i said bro nice clones..... Think u may have taken me the wrong way.All i seen in ur pix was some very nice root structure on healthy looking clones to me.
Every system can be perfected and looks like urs is completely sufficient enuff to sustain what ur 1000 watt is going to demand. So many reps i guess. When i read ur post i was just like damn thats alot of work but i get the same results with a much less complicated system i guess. Im working with about the same combined total lumens bro.

no man, i am not taking it any certain way. just conversation. i have only been doing this for a year. i am always changing shit, second guessing myself, and seeing other setups and think wishing i had done that. i just know it take no effort for me to clone this way. cost maybe $40-$50 build time 30min.

i have a question. so... u just have to leave the clone cut bottom tip dipped in just water? with no direct light?
i never have succeeded cloning so i was wondering waht went wrong with mine.
I cut the stems 45 degrees then I tried with a bubbler and a mister, it did not work...
I guess i'll try this way then. too simple

Yep cloning is honestly a very simple process. There alot of proven methods that work great. I know that I made it harder than it should have been just starting out.
I started a whole new thread on cloning in a cup of water. This was the easiest way to clone for me. Check it out.
If you need any help just hit me up.

i use a heater under my tray to stimulate root growth and mist the leaves some what frequently, i have nearly a 100% success rate, i always make extra just in case and still end up throwing out some, even on cycles i replace my mothers. heat in root zone ftw. oh and besides the 45 degree angle cut, i shave the sides that will come in contact with the hormone/antifungal and rock wool.
