nice i see it's all very cheap to buy from walmart, the 2'' colars too... so the pump is at the bottom makes like.. the water "boil" under the roots every now and then? how much space between the bottom of the clones stem and the water? and i'm i missing something? seems legit
I did find both of the phenotypes to be a bit cal/mag sensitive. Possibly PH related too as my PH meter was on the fritz.

every ph meter i've ever used killed my fucking plants!! i use the drops like for a pool ya know

I’m with you! I was always fucking with it. Trying to clean it, recalibrate, testing it against my drops to make sure, etc. It became way too much of a hassle. Living soil is saving my sanity.

There is a variety of solutions for misting the roots; you could use 1/4" tubing cut to size with inline misters suction cupped to the sides and running along the middle, or 1/2" tubing worked into a manifold with 360 degree misters (this is what EZ -Cloners use I believe), etc... I have about 2-3" in between the mist and stems. Pretty soon here I am going to rig something up with recycled containers (think 2lb yogurt bins), an 800GPH pump, 1/4" tubing with misters and have a glorified recirculating aeroponic system. Not sure if it will be for veg and flower or just clones, possibly even indoor veggies. I am much more keen to re-use, craft, then make more waste. I dont know if you have seen some results with high pressure aeroponics, but after letting some clones go for too long i can understand why people use them. I eventually want to run full aeroponics (less nutrients, less water, less soil mixing and no more filling pots gdi) but I am still doing organic versus synthetic trials. I will mention again that I run 1ml/gal of diluted bleach (1/4 cup/gal) in my cloning solution, before this if I neglected to change the water in a timely manner I would start to smell that classic fish tank bacteria. I have also used Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain D747 (Southern AG garden friendly fungicide) at 1ml/gal and this works, but it makes a nasty biofilm, as much as I hate bleach, I hate biofilm more.
Extra bonus points add on: I had some small (1" - 2") clones that were in a cloning chamber that had a clogged pump, so I hastily got the pump out and instead of fixing the issue that night plopped the clones in the cloning solution (the clone collars float, yay!) and to my amazement they all had root nubs after a couple days of sitting. I have put cuts into PH'd water, hormone water, kelp water, 1/4 rate nutrient water, oxygenated water, you freaking name it, and rarely if ever do I get roots from standing water. Its funny how sometimes we try so hard for a result, but then you do something that goes against conventional wisdom and get the same results (if not better). Nature over nurture?

I’ve started dipping my cuts in aloe, putting a in a cube, then under a dome. Roots every time! Aloe has so many uses. My houseplants have been taking a beating though, as I’m using aloe as a drench, foliar and to root cuts. An order of BaS dried aloe is somewhere in transit. Go USPS!

Hell yeah! Thanks for sharing I have some sunshine queen going and wouldve had spacecake too but so far 9 beans have been duds. I got 2 packs so hoping the 2nd pack wont be a goner, I had spacecake back in 2016 and damn I can still smell/taste it.

Thank you for posting the picture of the Sunshine Queen. I have found very little information on this strain, but what I can find sounds killer. I have three on day 22 of flower. Here are two in 5 gal LOS. Pictures are from a couple days ago.
Here is the third (on left) with an Orange Wookie x 88g13 (on right) in 15 gal sips.
Can anyone provide any ideas as to which way these lean based on pictures? The leaves on the one in the sip are more narrow than the ones in 5 gals. Sunshine Queen= 3 kings x ssdd Hope everyone is well~ Crunch

I couldn't agree more. Love the Cowbell. I've been lucky enough to have all 8 I popped be females and all good quality. The first 6 I ran outdoor last season and really liked one that was had strong sour dough type terps but I sadly did not clone. I ran two more indoor that were nice also just a little too leafy to be a long term keeper. Every time you post I think of popping my last few beans I have.

havn't heard shit about the OMG dad either .. it's in a lot of less popular croses. ive never had the goji og pinesoul cut, but crossed with OMG seems like the cut is shinning all the way thru the dad, looks and flavor wise, from what i know. it's probably one of these males that's perfect to use to replicate the female?

I've grown Lucky God and Gorilla Ghani in both you couldn't miss the smell of OMG, for indica leaners both were heady.

If you want the easiest
Glass of water on a heat mat at 80°. At least one node, scrape stem to the white, low light, change water about 1x/week. About 5 days to start showing roots. No domes, ever.
I've tried most ways. Soil, perlite,coco, vermiculite, root plugs, EZ Cloner, diy aero, domes of all makes and manners. honey, clonex, aloe... this has been the most sure fire, and by far the simplest.

i have taken cuts this time and put 'em ina cup of water, 11 days now no roots... the bottom of the cuts are brown now i don't know if that's ok but it doesn't look good... It's not on a heat mat tho, and it;s been a lil cold, i will put the cup on the heat mat right now! that sounds so awesome the way you do it bro. i love simplifying shit, thanks for the tip
