I'm specifically looking for an aeroponics cloner.
I've looked into the Botanicare Daisy cloner, but the reviews are sub-par.

I like the fact that it is so small.
Aeroponics seem to be the easiest and fastest method from propagation.
Who else manek one for $75 or under?

I grow 12/12 from seed and I can't take cuttings until the plants are usually already into flower.
Take cuttings and trying to clone them is super difficult. I know it can be done, but it's not as simple as a cutting from a vegging plant.
I've tried root riots, jiffy cubes, rockwool, and soil with no such luck.

I'm really interested in trying aeroponics, so what can you guys find that actually works?!

These work just as good as those expensive ass "name brand" ones. And it's much cheaper.

I've seen those. But I definitely don't need a 25 plant cloner. Just looking for something small.
10-12 at the most. I never really have more than that many in my closet at once anyway.

I sent the Clone King seeler a message asking if he has a smaller cloner. He told me this is the smallest.
Anyone try one of these before?

I thought of that too, just not sure if you can over do it with the spray manifold, or make the res too small.
I'd love to have one no bigger than 8x8x8

Is it possible to make one in something as small as a gallon or so?
I don't have much room at all, I'm thinking it will probably sit on the kitchen counter, LOL
Maybe 1/2" tubing, 6 or 8 nozzles, and some sort of small pump.
I looked for some mini cloner DIY builds but can't find anything.

use a 5gal bucket, a small pump and 2-3 sprayers. this will do perfect for less than $30 and an hour or less of work.

Nice write up, but a 5 gallon bucket is huge and not needed.
As I mentioned in my last post, I'd like to make a very small one. Maybe a gallon or two. Is that too small to work effectively?
I've seen the 3 gallon buckets, but even that is too big for the room I have

the thing is you are asking for aero but you are going to end up with a dwc with heat and low dissolved oxygen problem. aero needs space for roots to grow and with the height of the pump and sprayers added in and then the net pots or stems hanging down you have no space in a short container. might rethink it.

Make a bubble cloner. I used to use one that only held about 2 quarts of water. 1 air stone, and pump.

I've seen those, and they are even simpler to build. But are they really just as successful? I'm going to be cloning plants in flower

I do not recommend trying to root a flowering cutting,but it can be done.

you are going to have to wait a long time for them to revert back to normal bro, im still waiting on a couple that i took in august, sooo maybe rethink that too the rules of nature still appplie to you , and your gonna have to nurture it for a while gonna be more of a hassle than anything bro. just fyi..

OK guys, so I ordered all the stuff to make my bubble cloner.
I ordered this bin... It measures 13 5/8 x 8 1/4 x 4 7/8"

View attachment 2373088

this 2 outlet pump...





2 of these air stones




And 10 of these different colored neoprene inserts, different colors will be good for determining different strains.




I plan on mounting the pump to the lid of the container, and still having room for 8 clones. I want small and portable as I mentioned before.
Sound good to you guys?
