Glad I could be of assistance! Hopefully others will heed the warning that was given long ago. It really isn't that difficult and the peace of mind it provides is worth way more than the cost of building it! :bigjoint:

For $25-35, this is something you should definitely have. A 30A contactor should work just fine, but I spent the extra $8 and got a 50A one to guarantee there won't be any overload issues. You should be able to find them locally at electrical supply stores, HVAC suppliers, or pool/spa...

Not to mention he's including a 130gph pump. I can't imagine a pump with a third the power is going to produce a very good spray. As far as a complete ripoff... have you seen what some companies charge for a hydro or aero setup? It's damn near straight-up robbery.

Word of warning to y'all (once again!): GET A CONTACTOR!!!! The C.A.P. timer will support two pumps at most. I've been running three for a bit over a week now (was waiting until payday to get a contactor... bad move) and had a bit of a tragedy this morning. When I woke up and checked on the...

Hello there! I've been following this thread for a while now, and have finally reached the point where I've got a batch of clones ready to flower. I have pretty limited space to work with, and in order to get three separate systems I had to miniaturize them. As you can see there are no...

I did the following for my White Russian seeds, somewhat following the directions that Stink provided in his link. I popped them in a paper towel, and then put them into Rapid Rooter plugs (not those exactly, found equivalent things here though) when they just had a little tiny root poking out...

Yes I do! What strain is that again? I believe you said it is a pure sativa but I don't recall what strain exactly. I just picked up some White Russian seeds, but those are going to have to wait until after the New Year to get started... I've got a date with snow-covered mountains. My cloner...

Looks good man. You might want to put a couple wet sponges around for the ladybugs to drink from. They do good work :) People who use CO2 generally have A/C as well, so that they can have a sealed system and not just exhaust all the CO2 as soon as it is released. Might not be worth the...

Came here to say "EZ Clone" sprayers, was beat to it. Go for it 'em.

Funny you should ask... I've been tracking my build expenses. Total cost for my cloner is $73.95, including a 1 quart bottle of Clonex. That does not include any incidental expenses (drill bits, PVC cement, timer) or shipping costs, but does include everything else needed to put one together...

Yeah, I ended up with damn near exactly 5oz (it was a few grams over), counting the premature plant. That works out to 0.35g/watt or 1oz/plant, which I can definitely live with for a first time. :bigjoint: On a related note, I've got my cloner up and running. I'll have pics or start a new...

If two wasn't enough, here's a third solution for connecting the pump to the rest of the PVC: p/n 56125 at Lowe's. That particular one is a 1/2" x 10" PVC nipple, found by all the other PVC stuff. I measured and cut it, it screws right into the pump and slips into the tee going to the...

I came here to say something about that. I put together my cloner tonight and can't see any good way to get the pump attached to the 1/2" PVC other than sliding the pipe about 1/4" into the pump, which isn't effective at all. I'm going to have to figure something out... damn. I wanted it up...

Man, screw poinsettias. I can't ever keep those things alive and I have a pretty good green thumb (and not just with the resiny stuff). You want some low-maintenance plants, try some ivys or jade trees. There are plenty of things that aren't nearly as hard to grow as poinsettias :) Oh...
