I just got the materials in 10k's cheapo aero cloner and just have one important question, what do you hook the timer up too ? The heater or the air pump and at what intervals? Any help would be great thanks!
Help with aero cloner setup please!

You will not need a timer with the air pump you want it to be on 24/7.
The heater could prob be timed with some trial and error and a thermometer.
Depending on how cold the room is you may not need a heater.
The time is prob for your lights.
I would not place container directly on floor either.

HI,
I have just built one and it successfully rooted 7 out of 7 clones, I kept the temp to 24 with an aquarium heater with the thermostat.
I had a timer on the pump doing 30min/30min.
I had the pump going 24/7 when the roots came out and I added 1/4 nutes then.
Either way I think the clones would have rooted with 24/7 or not, the plants seem to be really strong.
the only thing I was told to watch was the temps.
Ah also I didn't use any lights whatsoever, the cloner was near a south facing window but would never get direct sunlight. the light thing might depend on the strain though as mine is a strain that likes the outdoors I didn't want to stress it with lights.
cheers

Well 7 out of 24 rooted without the timer, the thing i dont understand is the pull up timer he described has only 4 on/off settings, to time it on the far end of the spectrum (30/90) you need at least 24 settings. Any ideas or feedback would be great !

I transplanted right after I saw the roots were 1/2 inch long, they went from cloner to soil in seconds. But 2 of the plants just went limp. I think i just got impatient scince they have been in there for a month (appearently it doesnt work well without a timer) There was only 1 root 1/2 long

Hi, well I got a digital timer and set it for 30 on 60 off like it said. Every single clone wilted and died in days ! I dont understand I followed directions exactly.
Any suggestions anyone would have would be greatly appreciated
