Hey farmers!

I have 4 clones that has been in soil without any "rootgrowingstuff".

For now I have plastic bags over them to keep them foggy, but what shall I do when I´m traveling away?

I will be building a drippler system that gives them a small amount of water every day. But what about the bags? Should I have them on ore would it get grose?

When I travel they will have been in soil for about a week.



English isnt my first language...

Thanks for your help!

They wont survive in low RH. U need to keep them covered, just puncture some wholes so there is some air exchange.
That still doesnt solve entire problem. How are going to mist them? I spray my clones with water at least twice a day at the begining otherwise moisture would drop below acceptable level.
I wouldnt even make clones knowing Ill be going away for more than 2 days.
How is that drippler gonna help you? Clones dont have roots at first, they aquire everything by leaves
Maybe you could buy a fogger or humidifier if you really want to keep them and while traveling away.

Spend 20-30 bucks and build a bubble cloner, I've left clones I had no room for in there for weeks with no ill effect.

Took the words right outta my mouth!




well okay!

Do you have any link to how I can build a small bubbler system ?

It's so easy you don't need a link.

Depending on how many clones you are trying to do,get yourself a small rubbermaid bin (shoe box size is what I use),a decent aquarium air pump (I prefer the bigger dual outlet pumps as you can never have too much oxygen for the roots),and 1-2 air stones or air-wands (I use the wands).Make sure to get an opaque rubbermaid or paint the outside of it black so light cant get into the bubble cloner.as this will cause an algae like film to grow on the roots and in the water and canchoke them out.

One of the best parts is you don't need a humidity dome/tent if you don't want to but I usually use one for the first 2 days and have roots around day 3/5.

Bubblers can maintain clones for weeks. Just a small tub with airstone. I add a water heater to maintain 75º-80º. Many do naked stems, I use rockwool.



By keeping cuts short and leaves trimmed, I clone dome and mist free in RH as low as 15%. If traveling is part of your normal schedule, I'd give dome free cloning a try.

well heres another easier and cheaper soulution even tho this thread has been solved. a large dishpan or bucket depending on how long your gonna be gone and a piece of styrofoam cut to the size of the vessel. holes are poked thro the styro piece and clones inserted in holes. this is then floated on top of the water. :joint:
