I was cleaning up my girls about two weeks into flower and had some bottom branches that were not going to amount to much . Instead of throwing them away , I decided to see if I could get them to root .
I used a 11.5 oz. coffee can and an old air pump with stone from one of my kids old fish set up .
I drilled a 3/8 inch hole in the lid and dropped the two branches in. No nutes. Just tap water . I forgot about them for about 12 days and this is what happened . I don't need them so I might see if my son wants to grow them out .

Fun stuff! What is the PH of your tap water? ppm? etc?

some day i might need to clone, and i like the idea of some practice too.

I have no idea what the PH is in my tap water . I just snipped the branch with siccisors , scrapped the bottom of the branch and popped it in .

Proof that cloning isnt as hard as some make it out to be. You probably gave a lot of people a new idea on here, thats a great way to just have some clones for a small cfl grow or something, +rep!

im definetly for a shot at that. i ve had limited success with clones using rockwool or straight into soil so ur idea looks pretty simple and straightforward. im a soil grower, although ive got alittle dwc experiment on the go but i never really thought about hydro cloning. well done + rep mate.

That is the exact same idea I had with the exception of a heater to keep it at 75 degrees but nice job dude sure beats the hell out of those 200$ cloners lmao!

thats for the positive input guys. This system can be expanded so easily. Just use a small tote with several holes to do several clones.

Yep great idea man you also don't need a dome with this method they don't wilt when sitting right in water if you have a cool air temp you may want to add a heater water temp 75 is perfect anything cooler and they will be slow to root hotter and you will get algee problems I have found 75 to be the sweet spot!

I have 28w cfls so how close should I put the lights to the clone?

you can put your lights wherever you want, clones dont need much light. i use a tinny ass 10w cfl for my little aero cloner thats the same as this except i used a small tupperware container instead of a coffee tub. these little aero cloners work awesome, they're such an easy no hassle way to clone.
