New Homemade Aero Cloner

Hey man, see the beginning of this thread for more explanation and pictures -- rig I built with some flexible 1/2" hose, a submersible pump, a Rubbermaid tub and some 360 degree misters.

Constant water/mist on the stems causes roots to grow.

Mix of Blue Cheese, Wonder Woman and Big Bang.

Very very nice job.

Okay, the next generation is almost ready for harvest. These two buds, you'll see, need another week or so. Nice crystals, no amber sheen to them. Blue Cheese on the left, Big Bang on the right. Both taken mid-plant. I use my 60x - 100x microscope to tell me exactly when the trichomes are ready. All pretty much clear = 60% -- cloudy = 39% -- only 1% dark or amber yet.

Looking good. Mine are about two to three weeks behind you. Keep up the good work.

Yummy.
Enjoy.

just a quick question is the pump misting 24/7 or in intervals? read the whole post didn't see anything about that Also i believe you can use a 2" hole saw bit for a drill if you didnt want to trace and cut. Haven't done it my self yet but seen it on another diy aero cloner.

86 my last question i just built mine today works golden i used pvc pipe and have 35 1 3/4 holes that i drilled with a hole saw also put in a bubbler for O2. I'll let ya know how long it takes to root

That's a lot of holes. I only used 5 360 degree misters on mine.

Pump is on constantly. Cut holes by hand and it is the cheesy way to go. Hole saw would be more pro for sure -- but those things ain't cheap -- especially for a one-time job. Rep up!

Thanks, man. Keep me updated. The clones I originally rooted are almost end of week 5 flowering. Rep up!
