greetings from the pacific northwest where we got snow

do you have simple tricks to keep the damn things from clogging up constantly. I still have my 8 pot aerocloner but have found it easier to throw away the pump that came with aerocloner. I fill my aeroclone bowl with water and throw in a cheap air bubbler and no more clogs. :-)
MY cloner doesn't clog.I only use tap water.Unless I need to leave them in longer than expectes,I'll feed them in the cloner.You can get those paint strainer bags to cover your pump so it doesn't draw shit up to clog the mister heads.
Here is my diy aerocloner.These clones needed yo be moved 2 weeks ago!

When the cloner is full,I resort to K.I.S.S. and use cups & tap water.
Simple,yet effective.
These are clones from mom's that need to be replaced.

*edit* The clones in the cloner roots were pearly white before I added Megacrop nutes and bennies a few days ago.

I cut my clones the day I put the other ones to flower. Is that not recommended? Should I do two weeks before from here on out?
How do you like your led light? from what I have read recently is seems the led light is almost ready for prime time. Seems like there is still major differences in the different brands. good luck

Nope,doesn't matter when you take them.Altbough,some say clones taken in flower root faster. Main thing is take clones from a healthy mother plant.She can be slightly thirsty also.

Right now I have them under a 5000 lumens daylight LED from Walmart. Not sure what it converts to in wattage or what the light spectrum is. I do not have a tent in my grow room. The entire room is used for flowering.
Ahh ok.Disregard what I said about having the clones in there then.The spot you have them in now is fine,just need to get some parameters in check.
Low light levels & decent humidity.

Thanks for that info about the strainer bags. Sounds like a winner. so I am not the only one that smokes too much and puts off little jobs :-) good luck and thanks for the pictures of your grow.

I saw a small tent like that the other day. That sounds like the ticket. Didn't think about giving them their own environment till recently
Dude,they don't need their own spot.I'm not telling you not yo do as you wish. Mine are in the same room my flower and vegvtents are in,out in the open under a 14watt led spotlight with the Iens removed.I
suggest reading up on cloning a bit.Not just on pot forums. You are going to get a lot of suggestions.Check into them all,even mine,then decide which route is best for your situation.
Cloning isn't rocket science and has been done for eons.It should'nt cost much. You probably already have everything you need to clone successfully and get consistent results.

Just got home from work and noticed all my clones are looking sad as hell. And I'm supposed to put them in veg this week so I'm a little freaked outView attachment 4456452. This would be my second grow if I can get them to survive whatever happened.

Please help!! New grower!! Lost in the sauce!!
What is the temperature of the room usually have to keep the room at around 75f-85f or they will be really slow and have a hard time rooting and the ones that have rooted throw them in soil or whatever your using

It doesn't hurt to cut them the same day, I just prefer getting all work done on the plants one to two weeks before they go into flower. Transplanting, cutting clones etc. This way, they've recuperated and have gotten used to their new situations completely before starting to flower.

Awesome. Thanks man.

I guess it's doing what is necessary. I'm the one that need to be adjusted to what I'm doing lol
