Oh ya-I am getting ready to cut on my mums in a week or two. So I will let you know if I have probs-i want in the tree house too.

I had been chatting with al and spark a bit last week and I have a store bought aeocloner-but i went and got a big heat mat and thermostat too cause i was worried about inconsistency in the aero-cloners performance after AL said he had less than stellar results.

So my first couple runs i am going old school and new school with and I will shelve the loser. There is no second place in cloning. LOL just kidding-I have a big op-new to hydro and canni cultivation and have a strict schedule. I am going to use both methods permanently so I can practice and hone the aero-skills without pressure. I have already been cloning some ornamentals (I just can't help myself)

But-for your op at the moment:
Al suggested lower air temps in the aero-cloner was the cause of the slow root development for him. Don't know where you are but i am in the SE and it is getting cooler here and becoming very easy to keep the veg room in the low to mid-seventies.
I think this is about 10 degrees to cool for the clones hanging in the tub-I might get an aquarium heater or put the mat under your tub now and set that therm in the high 80's (they dont run quite at true temp and the air in the cloner is always going to be 3-6 degrees cooler than the water due to the effects of evaporation and the misting itself)

Just a thought, I have prepared for fall and purchased a heater for my cloner and will use the mat for my old school work.

Good luck and like I said, good looking grow.:bigjoint:

OK OK geez I did a set last Sunday night and i just peeked in on them and i have roots!!! Yea baby !!! :clap::clap::clap::clap: I really screwed up last set and didn't wash my tubs very well.:wall:

This time i ran the system with pool chlorine all night took it out rinsed the shit out of it and let it bake in the sun for 6 hrs. I added a air pump and stone at the same time also. I am at 80 degrees plain tap water PH'd 5.8 running 24/7 .

I have roots this time in 6 days!!! By the time i am ready next Sunday i will have a great set of roots to play with.

There Bugs do i get a tattoo or something now? How many do you have in your club now?

Hmmmm now the pressure is on me huh? LOL I really don't know what or how i am doing it. I have a very small tub that I run out of 7- 8 gals max, with the pump and pressure from the water jets has always kept it right at about 80 to 82 degrees. I thought with that temp i would get pathogens and i think i did at the end of last run. Going to keep a good eye on it as the roots develop.

Now remember i am using a homemade one and my tank is separate from the spray nozzles and i believe that the already made are one unit. I don't know if makes any difference. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thank you for allowing me to be a member of the Areocloning group. I feel honored to be apart of it. :weed:

your welcome...we start everyone off on a trial membership....should last no more than 2 grows, just enough to verify that you got what it takes to be a weed baron.

my unit is a single unit...my tub is a 36 gallon monster from home depo and i have a 396 gph submersible pushin water through the red head misters mounted to a pvc manifold on a 15/15 on/off cycle with a horticultural heat mat with a thermo set to 82 degrees F ...i dont fill the tub....only about 9-10 gallons and it's ph'd to 5.8 and treated with 1.7ml/l of 35% h2o2 every couple of days. i have a 4 foot flourescent about 2.5-3.0' above the top of the tub and the room is air conditioned and stays around 75 ish.....i cant think of anything else right now......but it's nowhere near as fast as it should be.

Bugs,

My area where my cloner is temp is about 80 to 85 degrees I wonder if that has anything to do with it? The only difference i see is that you are using H2o2 and are on a 15/15 cycle

Just coming back from checking my clones and i though of something.

I have 3 different mothers that pull from and looking at the clones i am getting roots on the ones from the mother that is and has always grown very fast.

She is thrown some clones that are almost 40in tall. while the others are somewhat compact and bushier .

Could it be genetics that are making your clones go as long as they are?

I take ro water in my little tub, and fill it up so that the stems are submurged and then I have this airstone in the bottom that runs all day, then about a week week and a half later they have roots and I plant them, I get upset when I see pictures and post of people that are getting roots in 4-6 days, mine take longer. The things I may try next are ph my ro water, I have tried having the stems above water and the airstone misting them but this does not seem to work as well for me
