not your avrg aero cloner bucket easy and less than 20

Hi so I have grown for about 6 years total but 4 then about a 3 year gap and just picked up again last year and I've always done the rockwool clonex gel under the dome always usually had good success well when I picked up again I grew out a group of already flowering outdoor plants in pots second group was clones I purchased grew them out and took a group of cuttings from them and I was kinda lazy with cutting them and didn't use past routine no shaving or splitting stems and just lazy a couple made it but they were looking pretty sad so I was only 2 1\\2 weeks into flower so I took some more and had used a sample of mad farmer rooting gel and idk I had heard good things but just didn't work for me 3 weeks no roots or even bumps the Lil pimples u get as a sign roots are soon to come so I re cut dipped in clonex and and started over with the same clones just recut and dippen in better gel and 2 weeks later a lot were starting to look sick but rooting and I kept 3 threw 12 away just didn't wanna deal with nursing back and those 3 are strong and vegging today so I'm sure I can have it down now but I'm interested in getting fast roots and 100% survival rates the dip rockwool dome method can give a good success rate when down pat but takes a Lil time and effort so Ive done as much research possible on this subject read books on cloning all species of plants plus marijuana growing cloning books and all substances organic, natural or chemical ingredients and hormones or just water that's been used to clone and what mediums or techniques can and are used for cloning and my final outcome in my research led me to a aero cloner but a Lil different from the normal setup most ppl use and also introducing air to the environment would help a great deal so I came up with this as a solution to problems ppl had with there aeros and ways to improve them for better production by adding a air pump and bubbler stones

Products needed

Pots/collars are also cheap on amazon or local hydro shop. The rest is all cheap easy to aquire things a lot you might have laying around the house .

 

The reason I chose to make this cloner the way I did was due to all the research I had done on cloning period and came to the conclusion that the aero cloner is what was giving ppl the fastest healthiest and best survival rates so I chose that method then I read review's of what ppl had to I say that had them or used them and made them I wrote down all the pros and cons and used what I had learned to see if I could improve upon it in any way. Most common complaint I found was the micro sprayers getting clogged and some Diy ppl complaining of just getting them in the PVC snug enough to not leak or using PVC glue then if some don't work u need a new piece of PVC and more sprayers. Well I just didn't want to waist time with that and got to thinking went to local HD. Store and looked around then it hit me use a sprinkler but what kind most are pop ups and some spay weird so I kept looking and came across shrub sprinklers and they had different heads that you could buy and I found one that sprayed 360 it was perfect and screwed onto the half inch PVC fitting I used for the pump to PVC pipe so I just grabbed another and so I figured this was an easy solution to the micro sprayer clogging deal plus the sprinkler heads are cheap and easier to replace that was easy enough then I do more research and ppl say that water can get bacteria and all the rest so I did some more searching on ways to help the water stay fresher and oxygenated cuz a lot of reads said that adding oxygen to the water will keep it cleaner and less prone to bacteria and molds among other things and also reads that roots will grow faster when they have an oxygen induced environment or medium to grow into and that was all I needed to hear so I added a 2 outlet aquarium air pump I had laying around went and bought airstones and tubing then I was set and according to everything it was supposed to provide me with lots of fast rooting healthy cuttings with 100% success rate and that's exactly what I've had I actually just bought and put together this one here cuz a friend was over and seen mine and wanted one I told him give me 25 30 bucks and I'll have it done in a few days due to using amazon for cheaper parts but he wanted it right then I was like no not mine I'll make you one just chill and he said I cut clones last night there in rockwool I wanna pull them out and throw them in this I said let me think how about I let u barrow it and w will build u another one then just give it back and he just threw $60 buck in my lap and said make yourself one and I want this one that should cover it so I said if u want it that bad take it and I made myself this new one but I got everything from HD. And Wallyworld the pump was a bit more expensive I believe it was $22.99 but I had it done same day so it was worth it I guess well I hope u all like it and can use my idea and what I would really like is for ppl to improve upon it in any way and please let me know how and what u did or think can be done to improve cuz that's what its all about for me is to improve and share with the ppl who are in it to make the best possible medicine we can and always innovate and improve our equipment, technique, and final quality of our medicine thanks and hope you enjoy.
