First time using a clone machine need help plz

So guys I have full blown roots in almost all my clones I’ll double check and add pics shortly so I that you all for all the help and I’m sure I’ll need it again lol but onto 2 more questions with this

  1. When and how should I transplant these clones? What size should the roots be and into what size pot? Etc.
  2. This is more of a problem with the clone machine but the thing is dripping alot of water from the where the lid closes on the bin I have a tub under it but any thoughts on how to stop it? I’m going to let these roots finish before anything but when they are done was thinking about danding around the lip of the tub to rough it up then add either some aquarium silicone around the tub lip becauae it has no chemicals like the anti mold stuff, or buying that vinyl peal and stick window and door sealer strips
    What are your thoughts and suggestions on both questions.

Um pics help. But some here take parchment paper or some release agent put silcone around the lid and put back together. And let it dry forming a gasket. Them take the parchment off and it makes a gasket into the lid area.

You can plant them with roots any length. But if the pots big it will grow fast. Try and spread roots out if possible give the plant better stability since clones grow no tap roots. I took root and rolled them up and when i harvested the plant it made lots of little roots and the roots were still in a roll.

These roots wer 12" rooted in 3 days. This is day 7 in a cup.

Ill transplant all of these. Today and then pull the cloner down and clean it up and put away for a month.

Hmmmm all my roots are between 2 and 5 maybe 6 inches would they be good in 1 gallon fabric pots or 6x6 inch plastic pots pronto solo cups?

A new pair of pantyhose and a zip tie . You can cut to fit and you zip tie it to the power cord and you will NOT get anymore sediments . For 15 bucks you can DIY cloning bowls . If you want the small list to make one I’ll give you the information and you will have 100% to transition into prevegg?

You have the knowledge, so if I fun full strength nutrients after you transplant from the Solo cups and then give them the full strength five days after you transplant into next size pots? Do you like to use 3-5-7-10 gallon bags or pots?

5 gallon fabric pots is my fav to finish with I usually go from solo cups to 2 or 3 gallon fabric pots then finish in 5

Here is where my clones are.


This is when i transplant.

Lots of air in your water and aloe will do that for me…just enough water for the pump to draw suction for a day or two then add a bit more…

Do not let you water temp past 72F.
Why are you using a heater in summertime?
If anything use a chiller to cool your water. Mag pumps act as a heater don’t let it run constantly.
Change you water 7-10 days no exceptions.

What up allbeen a while since I posted on this topic but had to ask I just started a new batch of clones last week and they are feeling rough so I know the roots are on the way but the question was is that the leaves that I left on top I cut in half and have been spraying clones solution on twice daily the leaves at the notches and where I cut seem to have a burn is this from the spray? Should I stop using the clones solution spray and just use water?

If you’re using a dome just mist that with water. I only mist my clones with Clonex Mist the first day. It works for me.

idk but the burn seems to be getting worse i sprayed with streight distilled water to try and wash the white film off it was a mix of the clonex spray and the azos powder they still are standing up nice but they are turning brown at the leaf edges and where i cut i cant lose these these were the best tops of my current runs and i dont want to lose the strains
