How Does My First Homemade Bubble Cloner Look?

Hi Gang, I have read and researched and asked around, and read some more... I hope I have this right.

I clipped my NL and WW, 45 degree cuts, scrapped, and dipped in "dip 'n grow". There are 12 holes but somehow, in my excitement, I managed to clip about 17 stems, so I doubled up a few, hoping to get some starts.

There is a heater in there, I have it set around 75.
Two 12" airstone bubblers.
Ph of 6.8
Two T5 21" lights, running 24/24 (it's the first four hrs)

My major question is about air. Should I be letting more in? There is a lot of condensation on the walls, and they are covered to keep out light.

Any suggestions are appreciated. THANK YOU!!



The outdoor is my first, and from which, the clippings were taken.

The humidity is good for Veg, I'd introduce air and whatnot during flower to lower it. The ph should be lower, I think.

looks good on the outside. But all the magic happens on the inside. I don't often use a dome on mine. the bubbles allow for good humidity around the plants. I just use a spray bottle fine mist and give a few good shots 2 or 3 times a day. rez temps close to 80 you'll have roots in no time. more air is not needed to clone. You have one pump running two stones? I used a 60 gal fish tank pump. now I use two in case one stops working. in my set up 79-80 is the magic temp. I just started using dip and grow so seems very good.

Thanks Stumps, I am running a 60gal pump too, but running two is not a bad idea. I will turn up the heat now. Thanks for the input!

hey that looks great you ph is high would lower it to 5.3 to 5.8 you got a water heater if not i would suggest getting one as well cut your fan leafs in half being your clones will droop very soon
also hit walmart or make out of a coat hanger a dome you will notice within a nother day clones will wilt

don't even worry about ph unless your way over 7 my tap water run 7-7.4 works fine. I did all that stuff. found you don't need to for clones. growing is another story.
