i still go with my method i spend only the cost of the root hormone and the cup of water i put the in

$12.00+
20cups x$1.00=
$13.00
and i can make clones till i run out of cups and powder!!!!

DeSypher you didn't mention your lighting cycle. Someone posting mentioned 24/7 flouro's.

I think that was me that posted the 24/7 on the new clones. I am definitely not the expert. This is my first year cloning but I am having great success. I also have very cheapy stuff. My large box approx 3x3x5 used to be a cabinet at some business and they were tossing it. I added a little paneling on the sides, 4 double 4 foot flourides wired onto a piece of wood, chains and nails to move the lights up and down via little holes in the top and the most technical thing is two muffin fans. One on each side with one blowing in and the other blowing out. A very minimal investment.

I just moved most of my clone mothers out of the big box and threw them under a flood light with a timer so they have just 7 hours of dark.

My little box 14" x 12" x 4' with one 4 foot double flouride is where I have been starting my clones.

In my big box I run 18/6, in the little box I run 24 hrs 7 days a week with one 25 W flouride.

I have about 95% success rate. Hope this helps.

yep, they will root that way, ive done it like that myself.i like the cloning machine setup though as instead of taking a week to 10 days, ive had roots on my cuttings in as little as 3-4 days, and planted in 6-7 vegging. ive rooted many a cutting in a glass/vase of water on the sil behind the kitchen sink!

Mine take way longer. Like two weeks before I see roots coming out of the cubes. I will view the details of your suggestion to see if I can speed up my process and success rate. Once I go to dirt they always survive as long as they get watered. I use nutes in the water of course.

i plant my clones right in miracle grow potting soil. they go absolutely nutz.

I recently have a problem with my Ez clone. I have algae build up or calcium build up, I don't really know. The top cover leaks out a little water, I think thats the main reason why but i don't know. Can someone help a newbie in distress!!!

into the clone hormone ... then into grow medium. Just make sure you are properly documented.:hippy:
