I recently stuck some Sweet basil in my ezcloner after breakin a bit of accidentially in the garden.

I also stuck in some water mellons i had started in soil/beer cups.

The basil is a cloners best friend,that stuff has 2" of roots in like 5 days!
The water mellon is slower for sure but ,a really cool lookin plant.

I cut 10 tops from my italian basil and same thing,those this need no clonex etx,just tap water and a sprinker! My garden reaks of chemdawg and basil i cant be mad at that!

I will likley throw a basil under a 1000 watt in a homade aeroponic bucket to see what happens,mmmmm basil.:weed:

hey lol i cant stop laughing....but if u r really growing basil...lol i grow it all year round and im reallly talking about basil, but any way its the easiest plant i have ever cloned. i learned from my grandfather years ago. useing in a cloner is a waste five days is a long time for roots on basil. pick the sunniest window that you have in your house or apt. take your cuttings and then put them in a glass clear glass so the sun can hit it, oh lol also fill the glass with ater too lol half way then wait about a day or 2 bango major roots...


i think basil is the best plant in the worls besides mary....but the easiest i ever cloned in my life.....try it out see if it works for ya....

make sure its a clear glass bro not a colered one u want the sun to hit it so those roots pop.....its pretty cool i do it all the time....i tried grass that way thought i was cool it never wored lol....watermelon is harder to clone....tomatoes very easy same way in a glass like basil....mint too same way....but when u get a second set on your basil pinch it back or top it which ever uh undersatnd....

i got my basil outside about 4 feet tall about 4 feet wide and i just took about 20 cutting from it i love that plant.....i cook with it all year round...i hope it works for ya....

well basil its just a leafy plant i would keep it under light 24/7 never give it a break and keep topping it as much as u can for more leaves,as for anyother like that parsley brocclie rabbi stuff like that is all 24/7 stuff.....tomatoes u would have to make it bloom so when they got to a desired hight u would have to go 12/12 to get your tomatoes to bloom.....another good thing you could do is use bananna peels on top or in your soil for a natural fertalizer , my basil loves it i think thats why i get great basil plants....let me look for a pic for u ill show u one of mine....

I can't believe I even have to say this but tomatoes don't need a 12 hour dark period. They bloom and make tomatoes in the summer. ya know the part of the year with really long days? :eyesmoke:

Sorry guys I figured that was a given.

how about oregano and rosemary and cilantro? I would love to have fresh herbs all year long. My boyfriend is a great cook and he would love to have this fresh stuff all year long. I am going to get my tomatoes done so I can have them year long too.
