Clone Machines...lets shoot the shit

Yes, Rapid Rooter works great and fit inside of dixie cups perfectly! I've also packed the cups tight with clean, quality potting soil only then pushed a hole into it with a nail (which I also use on every pellet to clean the hole for easy entry of the cutting) then used the cup just as I would a pellet. They don't grow quite as fast this way but is a quick fix for when you run out of Rapid Rooters (BTW, I also use a heavy dose of Clonex on each one). Cuttings I took 13 days ago are now growing through the Dixie cups that holds the Rapid Rooters in place (with a little soil) and I'll be spending the rest of the day potting 50-some clones...which I'm not looking forward to doing so I'm stalling by coming here to check on what's going on.

The dome should fit as close to the top of the cutting as possible allowing for different heights of course, then your flourescent light as close to the top of the dome as possible. The one I show in my pics is available at any grow shop and runs around 3 bucks for the dome, another 3-4 for the black plastic tray the dome fits fairly snugly on. The clone kit comes with another tray that fits inside the main tray that will hold up to 64 cuttings in recessed holes made for rooting/seed pellets with a small reservoir in the bottom for watering pellets through the wick process. They also come with a heating pad and the clear plastic dome.

I use rockwool and my afghanis root in a week, northerns 2 weeks, under a regular domed tray at 80 degrees.

I am thinking I'll grab the cloning kit that is relatively cheap, seems like alot of people get good results without going off and blowing $400 on a clone machine. Will keep you guys posted on the proccess. So madeline, thanks for the input and description. One last question... so do the bottoms of the clones sit in the resi with water in it..or is it pumped to mist the clones from the bottom? Thanks in advance, new to this stuff.

if I could do it...

Yeah I suppose even a rubber maid would work. Good call. I am going to the store tomorrow so I will let you guys know what option I picked. Thanks for all the advice.
