Well lets put it this way. When I decide to start really doing clones. I will build n bucket with a fountain pump with little sprayers or just the normal fountain head. I don’t want something big, but something that gives fast roots and is easy enough to do and not worry much about the system.
Well the best cloner will be something that fits in my bedside cupboard for now. I really Love growing from seed. Clones will be just something extra for Now and Then…

I did one also diy. Was a great project. Was just hoping to help ya shave some time on the build in case you wanted an option. Some people cant make stuff and im glad you can. Post pics when its up and running.
Edit: i want to make a big cloner that i can put in plant tops of 12"-16" tall but i cant find a dome big enough.

I appreciate the help @PreyBird1.
I’m lucky to be Blessed with 3 Trades behind my name and 2 very crafty hands.

Thanks for this comparison photo, it’s very helpful. I’d like to ask a couple of questions, as I just got a Turbokloner and have my first cuttings in it now. How do you judge when to take them out of the cloner and put them in their pot? Do you transfer them into some other type of media? I am planning to do deep root in 5 gallon buckets with hydroton clay, and I’m trying to figure out how that transplant works. Any tips and information would be appreciated!

Welcome! @jschwarz44
Wait at least 12-14 days. Make sure you add more nutrients and swap it once a week. I dont take the clones out until the roots hit the water below.

Very Nice my friend. The roots look Very Good. My clones just have little white root stumps at the moment.

Yeah root stumps are not good yet. I tried planting clones at every stage of growth i tried clones from every place on the plant. Arm pits, shoots, tops, middles. With 1 leaf or 2 or 3. and all kinds of ways. I tried cloning in every media type and every way except tissue culture. I tried no rooting hormones. I tried just soil. I tried cup of water. I tried root powder, root gel and the double dip gel then powder. Best and fastest way is aeroponic cloner and heated water and clonex nutrients.

Thats Cool Dude.
I only gave them a 45 degree cut. Half cut some leafs and put them in water with a airstone. When the stubs became visible I added the Multi Kelp and Explogrow. Nothing special. But they still look ok.
Update after work today

I went with the clonex solution on my last clones and they did amazing @docdre. Do you think you could find it in S.A.?

I will highly recommend to not cut the leaves , you will speed up the rooting process ; and food or not food doesnt make difference in rooting time , so i guess i will go with nutes to keep them green ; you have my post about cloning where i did statistic on different methods of cloning on big sample of 1500 clones ; the clones fed with 550ppm from the first day and clones without nutes didnt show any difference in rooting time ; clones without cutting the leaves had 50% more rooted clones in 10-12 days comparing with the clones with reduced leave area …

It must be available somewhere yes. One of my friends got some clonex at the last Cannabis Convention last year. I used my ticket money to by nutrients for my plants. But I haven’t found any on the shelves to buy and I don’t do online shopping.

Thanks @eldindupljak
I’m not really into cloning by the masses.
But I will have a read at your post. (Can you please share a link).
I’ve only cut the leafs on the theory of reducing the transpiration from the leafs.
We are never to old to learn.
Happy Growing

My first set of clones in my Klonex just started showing some small roots at the bottom. I noticed that in the 10 days since they started, the ph of the water has gone up from around 6 to 7.2. I have a few questions if you dont mind.
Is the ph going up normal?
How often do you swap out the water?
Now that I have some roots, I’m adding Great White to the water, do you add anything else at this point?
I currently have no sign of any bugs, do you use anything preventively in your water or when you transplant or do you wait to see if you need it?
Thanks so much for the pics and info to date, it’s appreciated!
