Daisy cloner water level?

[Crispyfried]

I just got a daisy cloner/aeroponics unit and know nothing about this sort of thing. I assembled it with the water pump in the bottom, but how much water should I but in it? Should it basically be full of water?

can you post a picture? i'd be able to help if i could see what i was dealing with....I think if your talking aero, it shouldn't be full...

just above the pump good . I have one and the jets blew the stems right off my clones. I'm going to turn mine into bubbler cloner.

Okay loc, I'm trying to visualize the jets blowing the stems right off your clones. Is that possible?

So the part that shoots the water should be submersed or above the water level? I can't post a picture right now, and the pictures on the web are just of the exterior, it's just a circular bucket container with four basket areas.

I think he meant to say the jets blow off the tender roots, not the stems... taking into account that a clone is, basically, "a stem".

I just saw my 1st roots in the new aero-cloner, I built...later.peace.lw

Make sure you have water cover the pump at all times...so as high as you can, without submerging stems...

Hi , Turtle. No the jets blew the stem right off. I thought they were doing well and when I picked up the lid to see if roots have started, no roots and no stem hanging down . the jets are so strong they blew the stem off just under the neopreene plugs. I am going to try better jets and see what happens. The water should be above the pump good but not to the bottom of the net pots.

God DAMN!!!

LateWood.... you and your 20 horsepower, 500GPH pumps for your cloners... LOL!

I'm kiddin'... I remember reading posts by you and Zandor saying that... to be carefull with which jets to buy because some of them actually damage the roots...

Best LW,

Sad for your clones loc. But a funny mental image. I don't know why I think that is funny.

when I first saw them I had to laugh. Well actually not see them. LOL. Then I started to look at the sytem closer and the jets were directed right at the roots and would blind you if it hit your eye. I have new jets to try just not the time right now. 3 types to see whitch is best.

You're a good man loc. Persistence pays off. Aren't those misters rated. Do not use closer than 50 feet away. Will blow off yer face.
