Can anybody tell me how I can use clones that are already rooted in rockwool in this system? I'm extremely interested in Stinkbud's system, but, since I live in SoCal, pretty much every dispensary sells clones that are already rooted in rockwool or coco or even soil sometimes. Will I have to cut the clone from the rockwool cube and then re-root them in the cloner? Obviously, you can't stick the rockwool cube in a net pot that's being sprayed every five minutes because I'm quite sure that the plants would drown. Is there some other method I can use that doesn't involve basically re-cloning the clones? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just trim rockwool back stick in netpot and you will be fine in this system. Been sticking them in almost a year now no problems. good Luck

What do you mean,"Trim rockwool back"? You mean just cut up the rockwool until there's very little left? Is it okay to stick it in the netpots if there's still a little bit of rockwool clinging to the roots? I know you said that you haven't had any problems, but isn't there the possibility of pieces of rockwool clogging up the pump? And couldn't you also maybe damage the roots? Sorry, I'm a total newb. Thanks for your help.

I will put it too you this way Jobless Stink gave me some clones and we stuck them in rockwool. They all have strong roots now some will be part of my outdoor stinkbud grow. The rockwool you just take a razor not cutting the roots and take the excess off so they fit in netpot antoher thing cut the bottom out the netpot. the roots will love you for it.

Stinkbud, I used your system and am having a couple issues. I just posted under marijuana plant problems "too many plants=bad results??" If you have time could you take a look and let me know what you think? Thanks for all the previous info!

Wow, this is a really informative thread. I've spent about 2 weeks now in my spare time going through every page to make sure I fully understand how the whole perpetual harvest works with the Aero/NFT setup. Just this weekend I built the cloner and the veg system. Home Depot currently has the 18gal Rubbermaid Roughnecks for less than $7.

I currently have 23 Romulan x Purple Hash Plant cuttings I took last night from a mother I grew from seed and dumped 2.5 gallons of 5.8 pH balanced RO water into the res. No clonex or anything, just RO water as mentioned on the first 100 pages of this thread (hope I'm not missing anything!).

If these root and take off I'll start a grow journal on here. After doing ebb and flow and soil for 6 years, it's time to try something different.

Thanks to all who have commented on this, and a huge thank you to Stinkbud for his wonderful work!!

Thanks a bunch for the kind thoughts! I'm excited to see the results.

There were other things I purchased while at HOPO that aren't related to the project, as well as spending some money on the wrong elbows at first, so instead of attaching receipts I will write up an itemized list below. I also bought the pump, net pots, collars, cycle timer, and ez cloner sprayers at my local hydro store.

Items that were used for both cloner and veg:
(1) 4oz Gorilla Glue - $6.27 (HOPO)
(1) PVC Tube Cutter - $12.98 (HOPO)
(1) Cycle Timer - $80.95 (Hydro Store)

Cloner:
(1) 18gal Rubbermaid Roughneck Tote - $6.93 (HOPO)
(1) 10' x 1/2" PVC Pipe - $1.16 (HOPO)
(4) 1/2" Slip-on PVC End Caps - $0.31 ea. x 4 = $1.86 (HOPO)
(4) 1/2" Slip-on PVC 90 Degree Elbows - $0.20 x 4 = $0.80 (HOPO)
(3) 1/2" Slip-on PVC Tees - $0.10 x 3 = $0.30 (HOPO)
(1) EcoPlus 396GPH Submersible Pump - $24.50 (Hydro Store)
(8) EZ-Cloner Sprayers - $0.75 x 8 = $6.00 (Hydro Store)
(23) 2" Net Pots - $0.20 x 23 = $4.60 (Hydro Store)
(24) 2" Neoprene Collars - $0.55 x 24 = $13.20 (Hydro Store)

Veg System:
(2) 18gal Rubbermaid Roughneck Tote - $6.93 x 2 = $13.86 (HOPO)
(1) 10' x 1/2" PVC Pipe - $1.16 (HOPO)
(4) 1/2" Slip-on PVC End Caps - $0.31 ea. x 4 = $1.86 (HOPO)
(4) 1/2" Slip-on PVC 90 Degree Elbows - $0.20 x 4 = $0.80 (HOPO)
(3) 1/2" Slip-on PVC Tees - $0.10 x 3 = $0.30 (HOPO)
(1) 1/2" Slip-on/Threaded PVC Ball Valve - $3.05 (HOPO)
(1) 1/2" Threaded PVC Hose Adapter - $1.77 (HOPO)
(1) EcoPlus 396GPH Submersible Pump - $24.50 (Hydro Store)
(8) EZ-Cloner Sprayers - $0.75 x 8 = $6.00 (Hydro Store)
(23) 2" Net Pots - $0.20 x 23 = $4.60 (Hydro Store)
(24) 2" Neoprene Collars - $0.55 x 24 = $13.20 (Hydro Store)

Total for cloner: $59.35
Total for veg: $71.10
Total for everything: $230.65

All these prices are current in my area (Bay Area, California) as of 3/21/2010.

I found a local shop that sells 4" x 4" square PVC fence posts and will be calling them today for a price quote on 6. I have a feeling those might be the most expensive items on the flowering list. Depot and Lowes don't carry it, and Ace Hardware has them on special order on their web site.

I love how little space it takes up - they are ideal for people who are looking for a cheaper alternative to purchasing new clones every time.

Kudos again to Stinkbud.

Okay I just got off the phone with a company in which I thought was local, guess it wasn't. Company is Lifetime Vinyl Fence, web site is http://www.avinylfence.com

The woman on the phone quoted me $19.27 per 4" x 4" x 48 inch vinyl post, with a pair of end caps for each post. Total with 9.25% tax and $40.13 for shipping comes out to $170.16.

That's the cheapest I found.

we have a fencing store that has it in up to 16 foot lengths, the cost was cheaper then Home Depot that was about 19 bucks for each length....The end caps aren't stocked here and were 6 bucks each. The fencing store was 3 dollars on the end caps.
