No disrespect was intended whatsoever.The point of my response was to elicit information from someone who actually has used the cloner that I have.I am a hydro-newbie and my cloner came with no instructions,therefore ,the basis of my original question.I have never used an aeroponic cloner ,and knew that someone must have experience with the one I have.Trial and error produces solid results ,but I was seeking the advice of folks that have used a cloner similar to mine. Thank you for your response though.It helped.
