I'm doing my cloning tonight and was going over forums to refresh myself and saw this and really liked the idea. I've built a few cloners that i'm going to give a go this time to see what works best for me.
I've tried the "cheapo aero" cloners with the bubble wands but those to me are just bullshit as they're too much to maintain. I've tried the ezgrow plugs and i hate having to deal with a humidity dome as it really limits the amount you can get in the cloner.
I'm shooting to get 120 successful clones this time and am trying the following methods:
Aerocloner, very similar to the sparkafire made. It's made from a rubbermaid roughneck (greatest home-grow tub ever). Used some weather stripping around the rim of the tub to create a seal for the lid. I've cut 66 1 3/4" holes in the top of the lid in which i'm placing 2" ezcloner plugs into to hold the clones and create a seal for no leaks. I've got a 396gph pump, pumping into pvc running throughout the tub with the red 360* spray nozzles.
I've also seen a method on CC that seemed almost too easy to me, but i'm still going to give it a try. hydro clones for dumbies - Cannabis Culture Forums
I'm basically going to just use a section of the ezcloner plugs that I purchased for the aero cloner to hold the clones and make them easy to insert and take out, and it will float perfect. Just going to set that in another roughneck tub (instead of the fishtank he used) and see how that goes. If that works i'm going to be very greatful as it's a low energy/easy to maintain method of getting clones. And he supposedly got them at a very fast rate.
Also creating a more dense version of the 66 site unit I had mentioned before to see how overpopulation could lead to less taking or is all the magic mostly in the rootzone?
All of these are going to be under a t5 8 bulb light on 24/0 lighting/pumps.
After cloning for a little bit and having some problems and looking into things I think humidity in the rootzone is VERY key to getting things to take fast. So i'm hoping that using the weatherstripping and very tight fitting clone holders I can create a very good seal and get a good amount of humidity going in a short amount of time. Starting tonight but i'll be back with updates.

LOL give some more details of how you go about cloning and lets see if we can pin point your issue.
