Its really automatic once the lid is on, the water will splash all over in there.
I used 3 t's,4 elbows, 4 caps, and a piece that lets me attach my hose right to the t.
Here is the shape I use
and here is the Sensi seeds Mr nice we talked about.

Damn Dr those rooted fast!!! So much for the SFVOG being hard to root. Won't be long before those babies are ready to plant up
Is it essential to run it 24/7 or does it do good being timed?
Ok I see how you got that was just wondering how you made it. Looks like you constructed that well to spray all over. I'll be making one of these next week for sure
The Mr Nice is looking superb very healthy. That's one strain I love very loud and very flavorful. Can't wait to see how that does for you

What kind of timer is there that you can set by the min? All the ones I see are 15 mins and 30 mins

I run my aero cloner 24/7. I don't see the benefit to putting it on a timer. I've got a 6"-12" root tail in 10 days with a little aloe in the reservoir.

Well that just confirms what I need to do. I figured 24/7 would be best since your trying to grow roots it needs water to the clones 24/7. Just like water cloning with much more speed. Thanks bro and I've been hearing about the aloe doing well. Gonna have to try that hell I'll get me an aloe plant I need one anyways

You bet. Everyone has their own way of doing things, but I really think a cutting will do best with constant moisture. Plus Id think that it would be hard on the pump having it start and stop every few minutes.

hey guys, I believe one of the reasons ppl put this aeroponic system on-a-timer is because the pump will heat the water up too much with a smaller unit and clones will fail. With good a/c (wintertime) and a bigger res, the pump doesn't seem to heat up the larger units too much on continuous. just closely watch your water temps when starting out with a new one!

That makes sense Abe. I usually drop a few ice cubes in the reservoir once or twice during the 10-14 days to counter that, but I suppose having it on a timer would accomplish the same thing.

I run my aero cloner 24/7. Key to cloner is keeping it in right temp range and keeping it clean. My clone room is 74f and water temp is 70f. I clean it every 15 days with bleach. I use tap water with Clear Rez added every 5 days. Problem i see with many DIY units is the sprayers are over powered and to close to clones. The sprayers should spray more of a mist not a stream and there should be few inches between bottom of clones and sprayers. i love my cloner, one of best investments ever.

Great info on the cloners guys. Really helps and I'm hopefully I'll be able to make one pretty good and make sure I keep all of these tips in mind.

Agreed. I think I spent $80 on this cloner. For that price I couldn't begin to try to make one myself. Some guys are handy like that. I am not. If I made it the fucker would electrocute me or something inside of a week.

Yeah i use a EZ cloner, ive built a few in past but ezcloners if you can afford one are the shit!Agreed. I think I spent $80 on this cloner. For that price I couldn't begin to try to make one myself.

HTG Supply sells one for $50 bucks. Was thinking of getting it its an 8 site cloner and comes with everything. I may just do that so I don't have to build one and I won't have to wait for it either as the HTG Supply store is 20 mins from my house. Either way I'll have one by next week

You'll love it. I used to use the peat plugs and had about a 70% success rate. With the easy cloner I'm close to 100%, and it shaves a solid week off of the time it takes to root. Only down side is power outages. I never discard a mother plant until I see roots.... which is about 7 days (strain dependent).
Also, I'd consider going with a 16 site+ unit. The 8 site one might work for you now, but you'll be kicking yourself in the ass for not getting a bigger one when you start germinating a ton of seeds or something and you need to take more cuts.
