-I just put together a 5 gallon bubble bucket. -I stuck an airstone in the bottom of a 5 gal bucket, drilled eight 3 inch holes in the top of it and stuck 3 inch net pots with gro rocks in them. -I placed a cuttin in each pot without anything elce. -I stuck them rite in there amongst the rocks, a piece of aluminum foil with a hole poked in it for the cutting not only blocks light but also gives the 2 - 3 inch cuttings support. -I used some root powder on the cuttings and I adjusted the ph in my bucket down to 6.4 . -I wanna see if I can grow roots like this. -I just finished it today and stuck my cuttings in it around noon. -I currently got a cloning tekneek goin that aint workin real good so Im real interested to see how this tekneek dose! -Im gonna post the progress of the cuttings and if anyones interested in postin some wizzdom or anything, -please do!

I'm currently growing in 8 5 gallon bubblers, mediumless style. No netcups, no rox, no nothing. Just a piece of foam in the lid to hold the plant up. If I were you, I'd ditch the netcup and dangle them above the solution with a piece of foam. Put rooting solution on the cuttings, and make sure they're just high enough the poppin bubbles get the stems wet. Without the netcups they'll prolly root twice as fast.

I grow mediumless, but the idea is not mine at all. I must give credit to my friend and mentor on overgrow.com that goes by the name of Joecrowe. Just thought I'd share this method as it's so simple and works SO good!!

Good luck man!

-Hey Stoned2Death! -Thanks for the input! -Damn! -Ya get threw a hole grow without any medium?!?! =Pretty wild! -I bet hangenem like you said would getem to root faster. -Thing is, -Im only rootin like this. -After they root Im putinem in an aeroponic flower room where theyl need to be in 3 inch net pots. -This is kinda my attempt to get them to root rite into the net pots. I used to have to get them to root in a rockwool cube and then put the cube into my net pots with my grow rocks and then Id have to wait till I got roots hangin a fyew inches down from the pots in a sprinkleponics machine. --THEN I could putem in my flowerroom. -Im really hopin this bubble cloner works. Thanks again and Happy Easter!

--Oh yea.. -While this threads at the top I mite as well say that this bubbler's doin great! -I didnt do anything to it at all and its been a week. -The clones look fresher today than they did on theyr mom. -I did take a couple pots out to check for roots but I couldnt clearly see the stems from amongst the rocks. -The water level was about the same as it was a week ago. >-So--> -No changes, -I didnt touch it except to check it and everything looks great! --I'l post if anything happens or anything. TF-

Aeroponic eh? Why not mediumless aeroponic? You could still put them in net cups with no medium and a foam top if you wanted the roots to have some more stability. That's the only real drawback is the plants get heavy and eventually need tied up to stay up, but with a netcup underneath that wouldn't be a problem either. Not that netcups don't just tip over half the time anyway...

Either way, the bubbler is an awesome thing. I've only done a couple soil grows before this and these things are blowing me away!! Growth is phenomenal. The only problems I've had (which have been numerous this time around) I've pretty much caused myself, and if that's the worst it gets that's great!

-Its a beautyful thing when you'd rather have your "problems" than another mans "pleasures"! TF><>'

-- Hello ! -Well its been 10 days now and everything looks great! -Just no sighn of roots! -Think I autta put a couple of teaspoons of rooting powder in there? -I was thinkin about stikin a couple of tsp's of root powder into a cup of water and dumpin it into my clone bucket. -Think it mite helpem root a little faster?

You could also try giving them a mile nute solution 300-400ppm....also try something like Thrive Alive (BC Technaflora) dunk the stem in that for a couple minutes then put back in bubbler, or just add some to the mix...
