Here are some pics of my Aerocloner 20 site cloning setup.









I have had virtuall 100% success with this system. 5-7 days roots hanging down, no problem

Hey Tex, where did you get those misters? I have been looking for misters that will fit snugly into PVC and dont shoot out when the pumps on! I have a 550 gph pump.

Right now I just have the water shooting out of 1/16" holes in the pvc. It creates a totally humid environment in the tub, which works great. Only problem is I have to aim the streams away from pots or else the roots shoot off.

They are like $ .20 a pice at the hydro shop. The holes in the pvc are actually tapped or threaded to except the threaded end of the nozzles . These are 360 degree nozzles and they work great. Never clogged or anything like that.

I can't remeber what that pump is gpm wise but it would take some kinda pressure to shoot those nozzles loose.

Nice set up Texas Kid. Aero cloning is the best way to get your clone's to root, no doubt about it. I need to build one like yours, but not as big. Thanks for the idea....

Thanks Squid

I figured it out and built another one out of a plastic rubbermaid tub for about $12.00 less the pump. Pumps vary from 25.00-90.00 bucks depending on the config. and gpm

1-5/8" hole saw goes a long way if you are going to use the 2" net pots. You could also just drill a 5/8" or so hole right in the top of the lid and let the stem/roots dangle. it's alot easier and practicle all the way around to do that way.

I use Green Fuse root stimulator also with excellent results.

I'll post some pics of it later.

hmm i dont really have a hydro shop around here, closest one is in Queens. But if I could pre-thread my PVC these ones i already have might work. How did you thread the holes?

I got tons of tools never figured out how to do that, then again i never really tried to find out how.

They usually come as a set "Tap and Die" the tap is the one that cuts a thread on the I.D. or inside diameter of the hole. You can find the sets real cheap at like Harbor freight or northern tool for like $20.00.

I think these are like 5/16" tapped holes and that fits tthe thread pitch of the nozzles.

Hmm I will definetly have to look into that, thanks Tex.

Hey you got a Harbor freight by you too? I thought it was just by me. I think I'm gonna go ahead and biuld me one of these. I went and bought the parts last month but never put it together. I have to be one of the worst cloners around, but give me a seed and I'll show you a fine speciman. Thats what i need tho a tap set. I love using taps. Put a screw on anything.

I dont know either of those stores mentioned haha, but Im sure I can find a place that has a tap set now that I know what to ask for
