It's an old one that I modified...And it's time to either modify it again or just buy a new one...Probably modify.
What did you accomplish today?

I buy the Clone King sprayer manifold and pond pumps from amazon. I don't think clone king reservoirs are big enough so I buy pucks and make a res from 50gl Home Depot storage tote. I fill with 15gl of solution. Near 100% roots

I have a similar setup.
I also built a 5gal bucket with a pump, some PVC and a few sprayers drilled in. Worked great for 7 cuts.

You can double or triple load each puck and make 180+ clones at a time.
I run 4 of these cloners.
different colored pucks makes keeping track of strains easier..

Post fire i’m back to cloning in trays with domes of plugs.
disclaimer to follow. It’s just easier for me for lots of reasons.I did all kinds of shit to clone but back when I really got going back yes, when i was actually aero lol i was cloning into oasis cubes because they were going into tubes just like the NOW aeroflo tubes. Just about 30yrs ago. And the only alternative we had was rockwool. Hate it for cloning. Does work good if going into dirt but def not my preferred.
I didn’t get into cloning into a cloner until like 2013/14.
oasis cubes work great in an nft or aero setup. Great way to start cuts if they’re going into a real hydro setup. By real i mean where the actual roots of the starts need to be in constant contact with liquid. Rockwool sucks for that as does the now rapid rooter style plugs.
I grow in dirt nowadays. Rapid rooter style plugs work great and they work everytime.
Disclaimer. there’s a formula of light and temp that i’ve found that even a retard(no offense to the special needs, i can be a retard to) to clone. More like dudes i’ve hooked up.
too much light is #2 bad. Too cold is prob the number one when it comes to plugs or cubes in trays. In a cloner you want the water luke warm not hot but cold sucks too, with a very sterile solution for continuous success. Shit gets root problems you’re fucked until you start over
anyways. Cloners are bad ass but the old goto tray and domes still work great.

100%Yeah I like the different colors.
smarter not harder
different colors for different strains. That was always cool about rooting in cloners for sure.

My main reason for switching from rapid rooter's to aero was low/no maintenance when away for a few days.Post fire i’m back to cloning in trays with domes of plugs.

I think I got roots faster with the plugs.
Now my lazy says aero..lol

I never done aero. But the rapid rooters work great for f&d. What was the issue you ran into? Stem stayed too wet?Post fire i’m back to cloning in trays with domes of plugs.

Yeah for sure bro. But i only need to dip my tray of plugs into water once between needing to transplant. Maybe twice.
acclimating cuts from semi humid/under dome is not that big of a deal either imo. Cloners were cool. I really like to be able to move around the trays though stuff like that
kinda locked in in the big cloners

Yup. If you are flooding into perlite or say hydroton, the flood level at first needs to be dangerously close to the bottom of the plugs can def end up a problem. Once you can drop the riser zero problem but they stay too wet at first imo

It's in storage and I don't have a picture. But I took a length of PVC that fits wide over the drain. This way there's enough water flow. Then cap the top.....and put slits at a 90° at different heights. Tape off from the top to the level you want the water to stay at. I used it a few times a long time ago.
i dunno what a water bell is lol. What is it?
Every cycle it totally floods to the level of your drain then siphons off to the level you tape to. I guess the idea is for the actual flood and a lot of water for the roots that hang low. The actual flood and drain is good for O2 exchange at the root.
