if the shoe fits the dog you can lead it to water.glad we could be of service.
Is it true? Are we all destined to only using rapid rooters?
Aerocloners unite!!!

exactly what Im talking about.......now 37 pages and no one so much as offered the magic bullet for cloning without RRs
Really hoped that someone had the key to these supposed root balls by 14 days.
Im begining to wonder if anyone talking about them is being honest.
My best guess, the PH is probably the single most important part.

Eh bro check this out. my last batch.. i got roots in my plugs in 4-6 days on most but took 1 or 2 days for the rest to catch up. i should have waited a couple days but i jumped the gun real fast and decided to throw them in my bubbler and at first they didnt look so good. but some quick changes and awareness gave me this 3 weeks from cutting bro. search this site and especially look up old in the ways cloning method. check it out. about 3 weeks and 4 days from cutting,. the third pic was when i transplanted my cutting with root formation to my bubble cloner bro. about 9 days ago.

It seems to me that either by grace of strain/climate/temp/whatever...some people just rock the aerocloning.
And some ppl suck so bad it is almost like it is out of their control (might just be an unknown causing the issues)
What I would almost call aero propaganda got me convinced that it was the go-to for cloning. I built it, modified it, modified again and managed to flower a plant start to finish in the time it took me to refine the aerocloner to produce roots inside the stupid puck.
The thing is, now that I see how amazingly easy rapid rooter cloning is...I will either give the cloner away or sell to a buddy. If i require lots of clones, I will just get another tray and humidity dome and call it a day. so easy, I just no longer have the will or need to use that big thing.

it was the thought that counted since it was x-mas.....oops there i go again talking about nothing. i hope the op of the thread doesnt get mad.
your last several posts have struck a chord with me ....all i can say is ditto........to the letter. same shit as me.
ph is important equally in any nute soup but with these damn cloners its finding the right combo of water/dry time for the root zone.....here's your magic bullet. if you do it all right, and you know how already......then the only thing stopping your roots is the cycle timer. stinkbud proved it for lots of folks. 1min on and 5 min off. were you the man on the grassy nole?

I use oasis wedges tray,dome, clonex gel, clonex solution and hygrozyme 1/4 inch in the tray and let them sit in the standing water 4-5 days. Then spray them 2 x a day and in 7 days (remove dome) you'll see roots and your ready to transplant in another 7 days. Never had any problems.

yep....rapid rooters. day 9 and 22 out of 30 rooted ......i'm sold(out) sorry guys. i still love aerocloners i just suck at it. rr's just work.

Good to hear it, My aerocloner is currently doubling as a storage bin. I have been throwing away good clones ever since. Can't wait to get a couple pics of the SoG finally in action. Sooo Pretty

sorry for not catching this one. the answer is gently...lol once your soil mix is ready scoop some out at the depth your set ups requires and fill it in, gently tamp the soil down and top water. should be fine.
simple and perfect, thanks for the succinct break down. you may have saved the lives of countless clones for someone who will use your set-up

I am curious to hear it but think I am fine with where I am as it is extremely simple. No timers or reservoirs or algae.
I would have loved for the aerocloner to work considering the time and money I put into it, but overall this takes up a lot less room.
I have a certain procedure I use to help against disease or infections, but I essentially just..
..Soak RR in PH water shortly, cut clone, cut off extra branches, cut bottom stem underwater again, dip in clonex and then plug into RR.
I then have them in the propagation tray with a humidity dome. I spray the dome as needed and dip the RR's when they start appearing dryer. After about 7 days most will have some roots and I remove the dome. Within the next 3-7 days the fuckers are fully rooted and ready to go. I then just fill up my square pot to just over the fill line with hydroton, put clone in and pour more hydroton around. Within the day the roots are grown down and getting drink.
Best of all it takes place in a 10x20 propagation tray taking up very little room compared to my big ol rubbermade container. When I had my mothers under a MH I had a seperate area for them, but for the time being since I moved to floro temporarily I just have them with the mothers and they are doing great.
Aero might have its place again, but while you guys have garages or rooms, I have 2 wardrobe closets as my two flowering chambers, and am in the process of building a workbench with built in mother chamber since I evicted the mothers for more flowering. But hey, its an apartment...and everything is nicely contained. It would be no secret that something is going on as it isn't super stealth, but within the next couple of months I think I could pull off a "server closet" so that is why not having to use aero works better for me.

your right....you are fine....i'll shut up now. but i will say that my yield went up like 25% minimum from the new "aerovegger". i still lollipop them but man what a difference. coke can fat and tall

What was the difference in horizontal leaf growth?

i think you might be smarter than me so could you dumb that down a bit?
i could show you some pics i guess but it'll take a lil while.

I get wordy when I toke.
Since we are trying to fit lots of plants in a tight area, does the extra veg time increase how far out the fan leaves grow and crowd other plants? Because at the moment I feel like I am about as max as I want to get when it comes to plant crowding.

OHHHHHHH OK i gotcha now.......no, they stay about the same as my other small ones. but i prune em lollipop style and .....well.....i guess the fan leaves do touch a bit but not too crowded. my fan takes care of that too.

I am not sure where you are since you rebuilt/rebuilding? If you have any pics around I would like to see about what one or two of your plants looks like near end of flower. I pruned some and didn't prune others and didn't notice a large difference.
I got to thinking that perhaps I didn't do what I needed, or maybe don't need to do that as much because my airflow is good?
