Bubble Cloner

[hmexicande]

I have read a lot of threats and Webpages about "how to clone"...I found there is more then 1 method for example Bubble cloning, in jiffypeats/soil mix and hormone aswell as water bottle cloning. Evryone claims " this is the easiest way to clone".. So i figur I might aswell try them all out and see which one works best for me...

I have allready starded a few clones on jiffypeats/hormone and water bottle only the Bubble cloner missing ... HERE IT IS

1 PIC: The Goods I bought. 1 Blue Bucked wit Top (5euro), 1 Airpump(7eur0),1 Bubblestone (2euro),1 WaterTank
heat stick(12 euro), 1 Underwater Proof silicon(6 euro). 1m Green tube (70Cent)

Totall : about 30euro

2 PIC: Drilled 10 holes 9for the clones and 1 for the airpump

3 PIC: Bubblelicious

4 PIC Here is were the Silicon Jumps in . as you can see (1PIC)
the side's handels need to be sealed, I used Normal Plastik and glued it(good) with the silicon and let it dry for about 15min..

Next I Sealed the Top of my bucked with Black Plastik (some people say the sunlite dont effect the roots when Water cloning) i doNT want to find ouT so i just sealed it (Pic 1)

PIC2 : Put the Clones in there Position

PIC3:I think its bugging to spray the Clones a few times a day ^^ so i cut 4 watter bottles in half and coverd my clones with them.

I can't tell for sure, is your bubble spray popping directly onto your peat pellets? If so this seems like it would make a big soupy mess. The bubble spray should be landing on open stems and roots, but maybe I'm not understanding something.

Looks like it should work fine though. Don't see why not as long as you change the water daily or so. May I suggest figureing out one big dome instead of individual ones. Makes changing the air much easier (don't forget to do this as often as possible, at least twice each day).

Just in case you missed this one, here's mine, about half way down:

thankz for your hints ... no iM not using any Peat pellets on my cloner I could allready imagen what mess it can do when the bubbles hit the pellets ..

I think u missunderstood something iM trying out 3 different clone methods but iM noT combining them

Two more quetions Opie Yutts .. how important is it to change the water? i have read your threat

this is what u wrote : "Most people say something like change the water every day for the first three days, then every three days after that. Some also worry about the temperature. I do neither and enjoy about a 99% success rate. I don't even check PH (once they're in the cloner) or anything else like that. I suppose if I wanted to follow everyone's advice I could get a 100% success rate, but to me it's not worth the effort. I just clone a couple extra, then I feel like crap when I have to throw good ones away."

Water changes are fairly important, and really should be done occasionally. I do them less often than most people reccommend because I find it is much more time-efficient to just put a couple extra in the cloner and not spend quite so much time with them. I have found that all my setup needs is to have the water changed after the 2nd or 3rd day and after the 6th or 7th day. If some are being unusually stubborn and need to be kept in more than 10 days, then I do it about every 6 days. I experimented to get there and you should to, in my opinion. At first try what most people recommend, which is: change after the first and second day, then about every 3 or 4 days.

Additional things I do that are not necessary, but probably help:
- Dip the scarified stem into powdered rooting hormone just before putting it into the cloner. Most will wash off, leaving a powdery residue in your water and on the bottom, but a little seems to remain, which I'm sure is helpful. Not that it matters much but I use Shultz Take Root.
- Put a little B1 into the water. I use a drop or two of SuperThrive, but any B1 suppliment will do fine. This is supposed to aid in rooting.
