I've checked everywhere. I ended up having to get essentially the same tote. Same but different. The lid had the squares in a diagonal style from what you have here. So, instead of being able to get 35 places to stick a cutting, the most you can get is 23. I've even checked the Menard's website. All they have now are the diagonal squared tops as well, just like everyone else. I ended up building one anyway, and needed to have two foggers because just one wasn't enough. I also had to add an aquarium air pump to oxygenate the water. The stagnant water wasn't doing me any favors.
Looks like Lowes has it on their website. Not sure why Menards switched the lid to a diagonal. It works, but like you said - you end up with a few less locations.
I build 12 site cloner from using a much smaller plastic container from walmart. I sale them at the flea market for $50. I designed aerobics/dwc design.
Idk what I'm doing wrong my dude. I cannot get clones from aeroponics cloner, what kind of timing schedule do u have set? I will be sure to hit the like and subribe button for sure
We must have gotten lucky and didn't have issues. But, we have seen others comment that they had success with the following: doubled the foam strip, reduced the pump size and number of nozzles.
I been wanting to try milk jugs but I was thinking of painting or covering the jug to keep out the algae. I keep thinking whatever I grow in hydroponic I should be able to drink the water after all it's all getting sucked up in the plant. I keep my nutrient pretty clean and change any time it's not clear or any signs of odor.
This was a cool project, especially if you want to demonstrate to kids how plants grow (and algae). Not too sure about drinking the water afterwards though.. Thanks for watching!
Yes. This jar was pretty early in the crystallization process and still scoop-able but certainly not pourable or spreadable on bread without tearing it up. If we let it go much longer it could eventually become rock hard and not even scoop-able.
This is a business man right here, no funny business or nothing. I don’t even have a jar of honey right now, but damn I want one now so I can steam bath it. Good luck on the journey my friend👏
This was an unexpected recommendation, but definitely a welcome one. I have actually wondered about this before. Although the container for the honey was not glass, like here, it was plastic. Anyways, cheers!
This technique is what we recommend for raw honey. If you use other methods like microwaving or boiling you will destroy all the good parts about raw unfiltered honey.
you my man deserve a hell of a lot more than 2.5k subscribers. this is an absolutely brilliant video. very well done. i used your method to put together 4 35 site cloners. total cost; <$250. they work better than the 64 site ez cloner they're replacing. much, much better spray coverage. happily subscribed. the difficult part was finding the right lids with the straight square pattern (as opposed to diagonal). seems like everyone wants to sell only the diagonal pattern lids. thankfully lowes had them. $10 each and free shipping.
for anyone that cares. now that i've had an opportunity to run the cloners for a cycle, the only change i made was adding a drain plug to the bottom of the tote. makes for much easier mid run water change. other than that, works like a champ. thanks again.
Build update. After building 2 of these I have found out. The manifold only need to be about 6 inches squared. The pump selection is way to strong . The foam insulation needs to be twice as thick. The Top needs to be painted Black to keep algae from growing inside. The manifold only needs 6 sprayers on it. Using a heat mat with a temp control under it will help roots grow if kept around 72 degrees
This is great insight! Would you mind sharing the pump you use now? I can update the link in the description to the better option for any future builders.
After building this I have discovered the Manifold only needs to be about 4 inches square with 6 jets . Also the pump is Way overkill. Also paint the top Black
The manifold only needs to be about 4 inches square with 6 spray fittings. After building your design I scaled it down. The Pump sadly is poor quality and didn’t last but a week
Good video… however, I need to point out a few things… the hole but should not be over 2”…. I cut 2” and the cup almost falls thru, I needed to super glue them down so they didn’t fall thru…. Also the pump connection does not fit a 1” coupler it comes with a 1/2 in connection.. so get the right sized PVC adapters if you will attempt this build. Also I would flex seal over the yellow top to prevent light from getting thru the lid.
So how do you deal with the heat? I have a 4x6" four transducer fogger in a 50L container and after running it for two days the water temperature went up maybe 50 degrees. I don't think it's going to make very many roots with an chamber temperature over 130F
Pawsitive Leader 12 minutes ago thanks for Video , Looking to make one with 3-4 inch holes and sponges for larger cuttings, such as Monsteras, Larger philodendrons etc. All the maufactureres only do 2 inch holes and sponges for tiny cuttings. Any ideas, for one that will hold larger sponges and plants without falling in?
