[color=Navy] Hey guys... bringing another DIY project to the table. today i decided to build a fog cloner. most of this stuff was just sitting around so why not put it to use right. gonna be posting alot of pics as they explain a whole lot better then i'll ever be able to . get on with it
We start here with the stuff we'll be using, an ultrasonic humidifier, some plumbing fittings and a rubbermaid bin of course. first thing we need to do is build a stand for this sucker to go on second thing i did was make an indentation on the inside of the rubbermaid bin right in the middle, this way our bulkhead will be lower and most of the condensation will drain to the middle and back into the humidifier. best way to make this indentation is to heat it up with a heat gun and press something solid from the inside out, like the bottom of a glass or something.. then pour in some water to cool it off rapidly and the dent stays.. get it?? cool so now thats all set, next order of builsness is to make your bulkhead, the smaller the proflile the less water will acumulate inside the bin due to condensation. what we have here are regular pvc fittings from the electrical department of lowes, modified to our needs. now you gonna want to cut as much of that fitting as you can so it's not sticking up a couple of inches, which means it'll take a couple of inches for to even drain through it... so we cut it down to this using the saw any saw will do. now even though thats looks alright, it's not good enough. we gonna griend it down in order to get the lowest profile possible , so to the grinder we go and afterwards we have this perfectly flush bulkhead.. something like this premade would cost you around 6-10-15 bucks depending on where you shop online. you sure as hell wont find it at home depot unless you modify it as we have. not lets go stick in the tub were it belongs now i didn't have the rubber seal hanging around the shop so silicone was used instead... all the same if you ask me. hook that sucker up to your ultra sonic... i've done it using a few fittings and some epoxy here and there.. there's probably way better ways of doing this but like i said earlier, i'm working with shit thats laying around, i'll probably regret it later and have to reconfigure this stuff maybe, do whats best for you is what i'm trying to say i guess. here's what it looks like with no lid k.. now we got that all figured out, we are ready to start making our lid. this is simple to do, just takes a little while, have a pack of cigs ready and it'll fly by . get your lid and measure out where you want the holes... in my case i did 1 inch holes spread apart at 2 inches on center. i've found this is a good spacing for clones then you start drilling the shit out of the lid. i made 1 inch using this 1 inch weird auger thingie . it worked well, you can use a hole saw or even a spade bit if you wanted to. thats half way done once you get it completely finished with all the holes.... it'll look a lil something like this now, before we start loading um up with clones we have to make those little clone holder thingies... if anyone knows a better way to describe this plesase let me know as i feel retarded calling it "clone holder thingies" ..so anyway, we need a few of those.. in this case 54 at least. they are made of pipe insulation, you can buy it at home depot or lowes, pretty chea. we cut it down to 1/2 inch or so pieces. thats what they look like. now we can start filling our cloner Just a start here it's completely filled thats it... this sucker is complete and ready to do it's job.. .it's my first time trying this out so i'll just be leaving it on for 24/7 and see what happens. any questions feel free to hit me up i guess this ambian is kicking in right now and i might have to redo this whole damn post tomorrow.. lemme know if it's retarded..... see ya at the chat. |

Great job that thing looks really cool with the fog coming out everywhere. I'm excited to see how the roots come out.
My only concern is couldn't a bubble or aero cloner be built easier for less $? Would give you some rep but I can't atm. |
