This is a wick cloner you can make using stuff you can find around the house. Supports 10-15 clones. (based on ooglebirds cloner from OG)

The wick system is the simplest hydroponic system you can build. It doesnt make any noise, doesnt use pumps, and doesnt have any moving parts. Instead it uses capillary action to provide water, while the surrounding air supplys oxygen to the roots.

Materials:
1) Two empty 1.5 liter soda bottles (Green Sprite/GingerAle bottles will greatly reduce chances of algae growth)
2) One empty 2 liter soda bottle (Must be clear)
3) Wick material of your choice (Mop strings, Candle Wicks, Show Laces, twine etc)
4) Grow media of your choice (vermiculite, builders sand, rockwool pieces etc) (Should be able to absorb water, not repel)
*(note- for a bigger cloner, replace item 1 with with 2 liter soda bottles, and replace item 2 with a 3 liter soda bottle. Supports 15-25 clones.)
*(note- for a micro cloner, replace item 1 with with 20 ounce soda bottles, and replace item 2 with a 1.5 liter soda bottle. Supports 5-10 clones.)

Total Cost $0

CONSTRUCTION



















IMPORTANT Dont squeeze in too many wicks through a single hole, it'll just clog up and water wont flow through the wicks very well. Wicks and medium MUST be moist at all times or else theres a flaw with your cloner.

CLONE DIARY

I dipped the clones basal in dip n' grow at 10x concentration. I'll spray them daily with a very weak nutrient solution to keep them healthy. Hopefully they'll clone within 7 to 14 days. (They are AK48 clones)

I'll post an update after they root.





Well thats about it. Happy cloning.

Damn thats sweet. Just another reason to choose wick cloners.

yeah i made one just like it a wile back but i didnt make the dome part so far i got 100% succesc out of it and 10 days root time where i just made a bubbler cloner and got 100 % failure but this may be due to not paying my power bill and was with out power for 12 hours.

What a superb idea. I'm going to go home tonight and try it.

thanks for the comments

OK, so this pic was taken exactly 11 days after taking the clones. Thats a new record for me! The roots are nicley developed, ready to go into a soil/soil-less mix. Give it some more time if youre doing hydro.
