DIY Aero Cloner the EZ-Cloner Replica in 10 Easy Steps! - Page 13 - Indoor Grows - Hydro - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

hogwild · 02-21-2007, 08:36 AM

After hearing the price of an ez cloner at my local hydro store...400+ Yikes! i decided to buy some of those nice rotary sprinkler heads that dont jam, they cost about 2 bucks a piece but i think they have better coverage than the ez clone ones... anyways long story short i built one of these bad boys and it was a little trouble to get the clones to take root quickly.... after a little rhizotonic, a slight of hydroguard and some pbp grow the clones started to root rather rapidly. Thanks for such an informative thread... and to those of you who were considering making one of these... go for it! they are the best.

built me one of these and so far everythings going great, havent ph'd the water yet (its r/o water) and havent even given nutrients yet but the roots are taking off and sticking out of the pots already,your tutorial may have changed my life as far a growing goes, thanx for spreading the wealth of knowledge...

Someone asked earlier about solutions.
What are y'all running in these cloners?

Can you just run water?

I don't have safe access to "fancy" hydro nutes. Any substitutions?

Anyone ever use a remote res and a "thinner" container to house the clones such as a 6-8" under bed storage container?

I'd like to layer a design like that in a cab to maximize space(e.g. one res, a strong pump to feed say two or three thin bins in a locked cab).

I use a bubbler cloner and the only thing I add to my r/o water is 1 drop superthrive per gal with plenty of aeration and a submersible heater set at 74 degrees

I dont need great number of clones so the small bubbler setup works fine for me, however I see if you need numbers of clones an aero system would be more suitable. I get clones in 7-10 days.

hydroducky
ive been away sorry

theres about 5 gallons of water and the spray heads are about halfway up,
ive been using dip and grow because when i used no solution they didnt root quite as fast
or as consistently, but still got 100 percent, i leave it under a 2 foot striplight 24 7
im thinking about building one more and making a thread for it so keep your eyes peeled
thanks for the compliment
peace

Anyone ever build a large one of these, like a 260 site version?

kindroyale · 03-01-2007, 03:26 PM

my q is this:

can a 175gph pump be used for a small setup? i'm talking about a ten gallon rubbermaid, twenty sites max...

Im pretty sure you could. If KR is using a 350 for 35 sites, im sure you would be able to use 10-20 sites

biggest I have seen is fuzygrowth's, and that is a 120 w/ two pumps

it didn't; my pvc was only 3/4, i don't think i had the room to build up pressure. i'll try again when i can afford more pipes and a bigger pump.

thanx indisat!

Is the pump running continuously in this system?
