Your best way of perfect cloning

Sog works better with one strain unless you have a lot of space.bas uniformity is more important in this style than others. Rooting not hormone is not necessary to clone. I've been using straight water for years w/o any additives and have 99% survival rate. I think people put to much thought into cloning and don't realize if you jut give cuts water and a little humidity, they root most of the time. Some strains are finicky though. Had a banana og that did not like to be cloned. But honestly, most strains will root in a standing cup of water lol. Not a great way to clone though.

Yeah I'm just going to make that ice bottle maker cloning that was linked earlier... Seems simple yet looks professional. And I like that. Anyway I do have a size of about 10x10 but only using 5x5 since it's only me and my wife that needs the meds to do a sog in

I didn't even finish what I was saying.... As I was saying "to do a sog in".... To do a sog how big do the plants usually get height wise?

One thing i did with the ice tube cloner was buy some black spray paint and painted it.

Like the color black?!

Or what was the justification behind it

So that the roots don't get any light, it's to prevent algae.

DIY BUBBLE CLONER AS PROMISED

PARTS LIST:



(1) 10 Gallon Rectangular Tote with locking lid
(Approx. dimensions 21" x 16" x 9") -$7.00

(4) 14" Aquarium Bubble Stones -$11.00

(1) 20-60 Gallon Dual Outlet Aquarium Air Pump -$9.00

(1) 1/2" ID Rubber Grommet -$1.00

(1) 1/2" Barbed 90* Fitting -$1.00

(1) 12" Piece of 1/2" Tubing (see through) -$2.00

(1) 25' Length of 1/4" Silicone Tubing -$3.00

(1) Ebay Digital Aquarium Water Thermometer -$3.00

(13) 2" Neoprene Plugs -$6.00

(2) 1/4" Barbed "T's" -$1.00



NOTES:


All parts can be aquired at your local home improvement store/Walmart & Ebay

**Prices rounded to nearest dollar**

Be sure to pay attention to the top of the lid for the tote.
It's shape affects its function so look for a tote with a locking lid that is recessed down
lower from the edge to the center -keeping water from dripping out from the sealing edge of the container and lid.
(Use picture of tote for example)






TOOLS REQUIRED:


3/4" Hole Saw Spade Bit

1-3/4" Hole Saw

Tape Measure

Marker

Drill

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


DIRECTIONS:


-Mark out your desired neoprene plug destinations on the lid.


-Drill out the holes for the 2" neoprene plugs with the 1-3/4" Hole saw.

-Drill hole in the side wall of your tote near the bottom for your drain/sight tube
with the 3/4" hole spade bit. **Careful not to put the hole on/near any curved part of the tote
as this will make sealing the grommet virtually impossible.
(Note the ideal placement of the hole in the picture.)

-Apply the rubber grommet to the 1" hole.

-Apply the 1/2" barbed 90* fitting into the 12" sight tubing, then apply the barbed fitting into the rubber grommet.
(This will be a bit tight and hard to get in, but you want this for a good water tight seal.)

-Attach 2 airstones together with the 1/4" barbed "T" fitting as shown.

-Connect each set of air stones to the air pump and align them in the bottom of the tote after feeding them through
the neoprene plugs in the lid. Feed the probe for the temp gauge & the air pump tubing through the neoprene plug.(As seen in picture.)




You can drill some 1/4" holes in the lid and feed the air tubes through that if you dont want to give up any spaces
for your clones. I only run 10 clones at a time so I dont mind giving up 3 spots for the tubes and probe.

-Fill reservoir up to approx 1" under the bottom of the cuttings and mark your sight tube so you know where to fill
to in the future and this also alerts you as to when your reservoir levels are low. Trim the sight tube to size.

-Let the airstones soak in the water for an hour BEFORE tuning on the air pump. Your stone will work much more
effectively if you do this first.

-Your bubble cloner is now ready to root clones.
With this set-up, you should have huge roots in 7-10 days.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This bubble cloner can be built from scratch for under $45 and some basic know-how!
I built mine for much less since I had the majority of the items around the house already being a hydro guy.
Hope this can help someone else trying to get great clones going at a very affordable 1 time cost.
Any questions or if I missed something let me know. -HydroRed

Oh wow talk about following through with a promise. Made respect! Thank you so much.

No problem. Keep in mind you can apply this to larger size totes to accommodate more clone sites. You just have to make sure you supply more air/air stones for your larger tote size. I've seen them run 35 sites per tote comfortably.

Personally, I would think about sticking to either indica or sativa's in your sog.(Depending on grow room size) You might have some difficulties keeping the differences in heights under wraps. If those sativa's get away from you and grow taller than the indicas, you could have some lighting issues.
