EZ-cloner neoprene collars
- Thread starter F. Dupp
- Start date
wow what? If that is truely the case then I will be purchasing a lot of the older ones. I clean mine every 4-6 weeks and they come out like new everytime. Never seen any reaosn to replace them but it will be nice to have some spares on hand.
Ya, dude. The new ones SUCK. I dont just use them to clone. I put them into 2" netpots and plug em into my aero unit and use them from start to finish, so I cant reuse them. But Im out right now and cant find any locally. I need them ASAP.
e z cloners shit has sucked for a while buy some hydro farm ones they are by farm the best....
pool noodles maybe as a quick fix?
I specifically need the old ezclone brand ones. They are just the right thickness where I can cut them in half and get 2 out of 1. I have been using them for so long that nothing else will do. I bought out the local hydro shop when I saw that they began making the new substandard version. Thats why Im just running out now.
There has to be an online hydro shop that still has the old ones in stock. Someone hook me up and I will +rep every post you ever wrote, no matter how dumb.
Pool noodles are too big in circumfrence. Good idea, but I already checked that out.
Cut into "donuts" and slit open to form a strip, they can be pressed flat to cut a disc or rolled tighter to form a plug. Kinda like vinegar for pH Down, just enough to get you through the night.
Anyhoo, my sympathies. I hate when they drop the good stuff for new and improved bleh.

It's really a shame that all so called improvements always end up being for the worse. I can't remember the last time I saw a product actually improve after the manufacturer made a change to the design.

F. Dupp, im curious to know, what type of aero system do you use that uses 2" pots? ive been looking for that type of system for a while but without the pot. i mean a system where you can slip in a 2" neoprene but you have more root space that a 2" pot. the only one i can find is ones that use 3" pots so i would have to transplant the clones into bigger inserts. i was looking at the aeroflo 36
too big around sounds like an easy fix. Do your numbers make that impractical?
I build them myself-
Flower units
Veg units
ezcloner
Yes. As you can see. I also run perpetual, so all my units are in use at all times.

wow very nice! im curious, how much ec do you have your ez clone res at when your rooting clones? during the life of the plant from the ez cloner till the end of flower what is your schedule for raising the nutes up? one of the hardest things im realizing about growing is when to up nutes so if you could give me some advice i would appreciate it
I dont use any nutes in the ezcloner when rooting clones. I fill the rez with RO water, 6 cups EWC tea, 10ml Great White, and pH to 6.0. I leave it at that for 3 weeks (although I do check the pH every 2 or 3 days and adjust it back to 6.0 if necessary).
When running seeds in the cloner, I pop them with the paper towel method, and when they get about 2" long I put them in the cloner. I dont feed them anything but the EWC tea at 1cup per 4 gal and Great White at 1ml/gal pHed to 6.0 for the first week. The second week I add 1ml/gal GH Grow, 1ml/gal Micro, 2ml/gal bloom. I always have to move seedlings into veg after about 15 days because they get too crowded.
In veg I use GH lucas formula slightly lowered to 6ml/gal Micro, 12ml/gal Bloom, which leaves me at about 900 ppm. Plus 1ml/gal Great White. I adjust pH to 5.6 and allow it to swing to 6.1. I veg for 3 weeks.
In flower I use GH lucas at 8Micro/16Bloom with 1ml/gal calmag. I have recently began running a sterile rez using bleach at 1ml per 10 gal every other day. By adding back to the rez I let PPM swing from 800-1200 usually. I allow pH to swing between 5.4 and 6.0
D'oh! hand cutting bad... never mind.
