Came up with this idea while talking to a buddy... It seems like a really great idea, but I was completely sober when I came up with the plan, so who knows - nothing truly awesome was ever invented by a sober individual in the history of the universe, as far as I know. lol
Bottled water inside a cut-to-height Pringles tube. Ta-daaa!
I'll give everyone a second to finish kicking themselves for not thinking of this already. *cough*
So here's what you'll need:
1. Bottled water, still in bottle. Preferably one that is short and stubby rather than tall and skinny. (Sam's Club "Walmart brand" bottles are ideal size)
2. Empty Pringles container. Poke a couple small holes (size is irrelevant) on the bottom of the container, as it's a somewhat snug fit and this will eliminate the struggle with air in the bottom of the tube when you're shoving the bottle into it. (ie - just so it goes in easier)
Simply cut the Pringles tube to approximately the right height, put the bottle inside it, take off the cap, insert plant (which should have rooting powder etc. on it of course)
May want to leave a little extra height on the tube to kind of "tuck it" under the neck of the bottle to further block light from reaching the roots.
Benefits of this method:
1. When you smoke, two things happen. You get cotton mouth and you get munchies. It's a fair bet that anybody who is growing (and likely smoking) serious enough to even consider cloning has got some Pringles and bottled water in the house. It's like a stoner rule or something...
2. It's good for the environment. In fact, it's downright green, if you'll pardon the pun. After all, you're recycling (er, reusing anyway) a plastic bottle that would otherwise have ended up in a landfill without ever fulfilling its true destiny.
3. It's ... um... damn, I forget. Maybe that's the hidden downside. It's so ridiculously simple that thou shalt never have to go without again.
NOTE: This idea is still very much in the theory stage. Would be nice if some of the experienced pros could give it a whirl and see how things go. That would eliminate a lot of user-error from the equation.
Anyone who tries this, please post your success or failure in this thread as well as anything else you did (ie - did you follow the standard water cloning and lighting guidelines, use rooting powder, did you replace the water with dump/funnel etc or did you leave the same water in the bottle the whole time, etc.)
Consider this a thank you to the many folks who have invested loads of their time into providing such quality information on this site. If the idea actually pans out and the word gets spread around, I'd suggest buying Pringles stock. LOL
