Try this way to clone. Easy as pie, just not as fast as a cloner... My success rate is over 90%, and heat isn't as much of a factor.

Hi Guys and Gals,
During this hot weather my cloner is doing squat.
I'm gonna try something new. My hope is to take one of those little refrigerators, take the door off, mount plywood over opening and then cut a hole to drop the cloner into it and run it on a low setting.
Wish me luck.
Hey Dubba so what was the final amount on your grow? I saw the weight, but was wondering if you doubled or tripled output. just wondering.
TTFN

hey Calvin,
I have been experimenting with ideas along those lines for six months. I never tried dropping the bucket into the fridge, but I did build a couple versions of a tank system. I had hose going to/from the EZ Clone and a small pump.
I was using plastic jugs that hold about 2.5 gal.
Here's what I learned:
Having it pump through constantly didn't work at all. The water never got a chance to get cold.
When I put a second tank in, doubling the amount of water in the fridge at any given time, it helped but still not sufficient.
Got the idea to put the pump on a timer. It came on every 6 hours for 3 minutes, which is how long it took to pump the contents of tanks.
This seemed to work. I only got to use it one time though due to problems with the tanks. I was using polyethylene jugs which NOTHING will stick to so sealing them was a challenge.
I decided to abandon the idea and instead put the cloner in an air conditioned room. I still need to deal with water temps a little, but much easier.
I still have the fridge etc. and I may revive the project at some point.
Caution: I went through a couple fridges lol
I ruined one and I think the other was defective to begin with but I had already altered it when I discovered this.
Wherever you decide to cut/drill through the fridge, take a Dremel or something and cut a "window" out of the plastic inside. Peel away the plastic and insulation to make sure there aren't any cooling lines or wires in the wall.
Good luck, let us know how it goes!

lol I have been dealing with the problem quite a while, tried lots of things. The refrigerator stuff came after I had tried the chiller. I just like to tinker with stuff lol
I'm sure a better chiller would solve the problem completely. Damn, they're expensive though.
Are you familiar with the old Coca-Cola vending machines that used a tank of ice cold water to keep them cold? You had to reach in and guide a bottle along a track through the water to get it to the spot for extraction. I always thought one of those would be handy lol
