400gph is WAY overkill for cloning. Put a smaller pump in there and run it 24/7 Ive never seen anyone have good results aero cloning with an off cycle. Smaller pump will lower the water temps too. Just my .02

Looking at your pic though, I dont know are you running all those totes off one pump? If thats the case then I dunno.
I'm glad I use a 396gph pump, that must be it. Oh, but I run 80sec on and 8min off. Oh, and I have had a100% success rate for years now. Now you have seen someone that does it and I could show ya about a few hundred more people who also do it. This is a proven fact, running a smaller pump constantly will raise the temp more than a larger pump on a timer, I have tested it. Running multiple totes from one pump is easy, and less to have problems with.

Why fix what aint broke? Insulated rails and updated delivery manifold are about it on new system. Oh, and adding 7-8" more to space between rails.

Ha. Next you will be following dirk.

the system is great SS, no doubt about it, dont see what the guys are talking about..
I never seen such fast growth as ive seen on our veg systems...

i love it.. this system is for Pros though. As honestly building and dialing everything in requires skill....

SS, FREAKIN STILL GETTING A 50% clone rate in the cloner. WTF IS GOING ON!

Help.. Doing it to the T

am I missing someting
After you do a run with less light and you are still having problems, bite the bullet and buy a couple big jugs of purified water and do a run with it! If you are still having problems, that will eliminate water as your problem!

dude, if your having trouble with an aero cloner, DO NOT even think about UC.

its not that im having problems with the aero cloner. they just are'nt all cloning..

The components to run this system is far greater than any UC. UC is like a joke compared to what we are doing..

Are the stems rotting or are the leaves dying on the ones that do not grow roots???
