hey al! i know what you mean with spray heads getting clogged, that's what i deal with when using my aerocloner. it requires daily checking, but it works great, my fastest rooting method.

other than that, dwc bubblers work very well for rooting clones; i don't have the luxury of all the ooh la la's, so i'm using quartz granite gravel as a medium. it adds a trace amount of organic potassium, derived from granite dust, but that's it; no probs with ph.

i've use rw, and it has worked for me with rooting clones, i just find it an extra hassle. i root in soil, or aero, or in the bubbler now, no more rw.

as far as moving stuff, this single bucket can be moved wherever i need it. and for res changes (atm, going to upgrade and put in a drain) my brother and i lift the lid and place it on a new bucket with fresh nutes. so mobility is an option with this set up....

as for the no medium to support roots, look at my root shots, you can see the net pots holding the plants. the roots will grow all through the net pot, then end up dangling in the nute solution. i think this is why dwc works so well, there is alway full contact between nutes and roots.

thanx for the compliments!
