36 Site Aeroponic Cloning Machine. Expect 100% Success Rates!

Hands-down, the best clone machine in the business and at the best price! This thing is a total game changer and I have near 100% effectiveness when taking cuttings. As long as you take a good cutting, this thing will make it grow roots!

After much trial and error, I’ve had tremendous success with this product. As other reviewers have said, water temperatures and light intensity seem to be the biggest variables. Keeping the water below 80°F and the light at an appropriate intensity (for me, a 45 watt LED panel approximately 6” above the clones works perfectly.When I began to use this cloner, originally my light was not strong enough and roots would sprout but then die off. I then added Hydroguard to the water which helped tremendously throughout the trial and error since the Hydroguard helped break down the dead roots so they didn’t kill the plant while I fine tuned the light to get the roots to grow sustainably.In addition, I added liquid plant feed to the water to nourish the plants given how long I was fine tuning the light since the stored starch in the plants was likely to be running out over the few weeks-month that I had them in the cloner, as well as an aquarium bubbler to keep the water highly oxygenated.All in all, highly recommend the system, but I wanted to share my journey and what I did to get to a place of great success.

The cloner arrived in good condition and was easy to set up. I started tomato cuttings and several type of soft wood cuttings right away.The tomatoes started rooting within days and were very rooty after 1 week. I transplanted and 1/3 died and the others looked bad but are still hanging on. I will have to figure out how to avoid transplant shock better. However, while in the cloner, they looked fantastic!I got soft wood cuttings from six shrubs to see how the cloner would handle them. I picked different thicknesses and lengths. About half of the very skinniest (~1 mm thick) were the only ones that died. All the other cuttings lived. The ones that seemed to do the best were about 2 to 3 mm thick in diameter. One type of plant (I think it was mountain lavender) even started rooting after ~10 days! After 3 weeks, the cuttings were still alive and had green cambrium, buds and small leaves, although I couldn’t discern any callous. However, I didn’t see callous on the cuttings that clearly had roots so maybe callous formation is different when rooted aeroponically versus in soil.I did have to spray the cuttings with water for the first few days even though the seller said it wasn’t needed. To be fair, I was pretty brutal in cutting. I used kitchen scissors and not a razor, as was recommended. Even with my clunkiness, the cloner kept the plants alive.I’ve converted it to a aeroponic grower (it’s hard to get fresh veggies because of coronavirus lockdown) and am growing lettuce and strawberries under a grow light. They are doing great and getting big.The pump does warm up the water and it was getting too warm in the window. The temperature of the water measured at mid-day was 78.4F. I’ve moved to a cooler part of the house and am using a grow light and the plants seem to be doing better.I recommend this for anyone interested in cloning, because it works and is very easy to use.

The media could not be loaded. Look no further - this cloner is excellent.As a first timer I'll admit I was stressed, especially after scouring reddit threads and reading conflicting recommendations about ideal cloning conditions, humidity, water temps, etc.DO: worry about water temps. Having done multiple cloning runs I've noticed that the hotter my cloning room the longer the clones take to root. At 68-72 degrees room temp they take 2 weeks. At 80 degrees they took almost a monthDON'T: worry about humidity. I cloned in the dead of winter where my humidity was 20%. Excellent resultsDO: worry about light intensity. If you're blessed to have a PAR meter, keep light levels at ~115 PPFD for excellent resultsDON'T: worry about a pump timer. Some folks say to do 1 min on - 4 mins off or other variations of the same. In the included instructions it even says to keep the pump on 24/7, which is what I did. No issues whatsoever and the manufacturer knows bestDO: use Clonex rooting gel on your cuttings. Optional to use the Clonex solution for your reservoir (I did) but the gel is the important part. Worth mentioning that for the reservoir you will have great results with plain tap water although I know people will still use Clonex solution just for peace of mindDO: keep an eye on your water levels. Especially as the roots establish they will start drinking substantially. A couple weeks into it you will need to top off the reservoir with about another gallon of water. This is important because if the water level gets too low the pump won't spray and your clones will be dead within hours. I learned this the hard way :-)That's about it! Hope this helps and happy cloning
