I've been looking at cloners and the one that seems to fit my needs best is the Daisy Cloner. The price is right and it holds up to 8 clones which is perfect for me. Does anyone have any experience with this cloner that they'd like to share :mrgreen:?

My other thing is, it's a hydro system, I grow in soil. Would that work for me? Will switching from Hydro to Soil hurt the plant?

Yup I have a daisy cloner



So far it works fantastic. You just have to keep up on the quality of the nutes, its only like a gallon or two. No room for error. It is not well suited for more than its intended use. Not practical at all to leave the plants in there.

Oh I should also add that you should use some sort of additive that will protect things. I think its for bacteria. Its called Hydroguard and I use it. I just checked, its a fungacide.

All the pics I've seen on your grow journal are of a hydro set up. Do you use soil?

no dirt, makes a mess and is a pain to work with. Once the roots are poking out of the bottom of the net pot you trasnplant them into the ground, net pot and all. I wouldnt reccomend trying to untagle roots if they have grown into a mass. The roots hang down into the water. Just keep the soil watered for the first 36-48 hours. You want to give them a chance to grab hold in there new home.

I see this working just fine transferring to soil. If one was to do this they should transplant the clone as soon as the roots have poked through the rockwool plug, plant the clone with the plug, just like a normal root ball from a rooted clone in soil. I see no need to let the roots get long enough to tangle in the net pot, requiring you plant a net pot in dirt, lol.

2 For, 0 against. Looks like I'm picking up a daisy cloner next time I'm at the hydro shop.

Thanks everyone
