3 Secrets How To Clone Plants w An Aeroponic Cloner 

Used drops of balance in my cloner and I got 100% success with just drops of balance! First time I tried it with very well known plants that don’t work well in my cloner and I got 100% success! Drops of balance is definitely a awesome Product!!!

I've been cloning areoponicly for over 20 years. Always using a water heater and my pump runs 24/7. Never had an issue. Cleanliness it the key. If you having issues try adding hydrogen peroxide to the water. I like to add some to the glass that I'm placing my cuts into as i cut them. At 73 F. I'm popping roots in 5 days with most strains 7-10 days in the cloner and I'm transplanting. Clean your cloner before every run, that is the most important and overlooked step in the process.

Awesome vid, tons of insight thx buddy!

Great info. Thank you.

Just want to correct one fact around 6:20: While plants can store energy in their root systems, that's long-term starch storage, like for carrots and sweet potatoes, not for daily energy molecule output like ATP. Those are stored in the chloroplasts of the leaves. I'm also a bit baffled why leaving the light on 24/7 works since the plant needs dark reactions (like the Calvin cycle) to convert the ATP to sugars, but I can't argue with 100% success.

Great video man! Thanks.

the light cycle on 24h makes total sense. cheers.

Should I turn off my psycloner or it should always be on?

How do you set your timer!! Mine only has 8 on/off programs as most do I think.. and I don’t understand how y’all can set it to 15 minutes on 15 minutes for the whole day and not run out of programs you can use please help..

Awesome video and info! Would using a product like king crab from plant success in my oxycloner be ok?

Can germinated seeds be planted in this system? If so, how do you plant the germinated seed there? What pot and substrate? How to do it?

Great points man but I have to disagree with the light time, I've tried both 24 hours on and 18-6 and they always take my h longer with 24 hours of light

Wonder if you could use these for growing potatoes and other root vegetables

Can a heating mat work? Havent checked my water temp but its been 10 days and its slow root 😒

Should RO water be used if I have an RO system ?

Also clone king covers are white to reflect light and detract heat

Have you ever considered or read up on the research on lighting schedule that have shorter days and nights, so you can have three 6 hour days split up by 2 hour nights (to basically simulate a much shorter day) the theory being that these plants don't need a 6 hour night, but a two hour one can be more useful, especially if following a day cycle, some stuff I have read claims that it creates a 'more efficient' day/night cycle (obviously the original paper that I read was much more scientific than the explanation that I'm giving and I don't remember all the minute details)

Bro... best video. Seriously. Well spoken, well articulated, nice, clear tone. Thank the fuck for you.

Do you adjust the water pH to be between 5.5-6.5 for this?

If I'm able to keep my water cool enough should I still turn the pump on and off every 15 minutes?

Doesn’t the 30% hydrogen peroxide or bleach solution added make the temperatures more flexible. I’m running mine at about 65-68degrees and they do fine. I was hopeful that we would get into hormones and clonex amounts per gallon. I’m running about 8000 clones and trying to get it files in perfect. Also should get ph about to the 5.8

Hi! Have you tried triploids yet? Is it true that triploids cannot be cloned, since their clones are difficult to take root?

Have you ever heard of using aloe gel from the plant to put on the ends of your cutting for cloning?

I use one minute on, 10 minutes off, with only tap water, no hormone, and have *never* had a cutting fail in over 10 years. I use a diy "Stinkbud" type 7.5 gal cloner with a puny Ecoplus 185 pump, and E-Z Clone sprayers. I've had some cuttings sprout in as little as three days, but generally in a week they are popped. Our tap water comes from an earthen dam reservoir, and tho it undergoes too much "purification" for my purposes, the plants seem to thrive on it.

I notice your Cloner water has froth on the top ! What have you added to cause this ?

How high above my tent should a 300w viparspectra be?

Do VPD matter for 3 day old cuttings in cloning machine?

I'm lost. Why use a timer? Can I not leave the spray pump on constantly? Isn't water temp important for oxygenation levels rather than bacteria? With all this talk of bacteria perhaps I shouldn't be using Neutralise Vit C to dechlorinate my water. 🤔.

Ok so does clones need to sit in the water or right above and does it have to have a spray nozzle or will bubbleponics work

What temperature gauge (digital) you reccomend for measuring water temperature?

This time around I left the stems longer the last time, added clonex and also left 2 leaves on each srw and put a grow light over It. If it doesn't do right this time then I'm not sure done so send. me good vibes. Tks for the video

if you dont wanna use chemicals on your plant change the water in the bucket out every 5 days and use a rooting gel when you first cut and there will be no bacteria/mold as long as you maintained consistent temperature

Do clones need to use a clear cover to increase humidity?

Hi mate! Im from argentina. Im getting botrytis in All My cuts. ALL. No ones survive. I use RO water (ósmosis+uv sterilizer). I see algae on the third day and botrytis above the plugs. I've been trying for a long time, I'm desperate. I use osmosis water (ec 0.1) and ph 5.8-6.0. I use sterilized blades and clonex for the cuts. After watching this video, in my next batch, I'm going to take the water temperature. I have also noticed a lot of temperature in the dome. My main question is: I can't get dropsofbalance here. Can you tell me how many ml of peroxide should I use per liter? please. I already say my water, I think it's fine ...

How to keep temp between 60-65f ?

How often have you refresh the water inside the cloner?

You have a few misconceptions of general botany. Specially regarding plant growth. Cannabis barely stores sugars in the root system and grows during the day and during the night. For a clone to root the plant needs to send energy and a hormone signal to an undifferentiated meristem in the stalk. These meristems divide and become root meristems, which later become roots. For all of you washing your hands, and using hormones, and special cloners for rooting just know that its called a weed for a reason. 90% rooting succes just by putting the clones in a cup of water and leaving them with the mother plants. You don´t even have to change the water. It takes 2-3 weeks to root properly instead of the 5-8 days it takes with an aeroponic cloner.

After reading everybody's comments and this guy's response. I must jump in here. Some of the information this guy is saying is true. I've been cloning with aero for about 10 years now. I purchased my first aero cloner. And then built 4 other one's at a fraction of the cost of the one I purchased. I will explain my setup. I use t12 florescent lights over my cloners. Because they don't put off that much heat. I buy the smallest pound pump you can buy. It shoots out plenty of water. And puts out hardly any heat at all. I have a/c in my mother and clone room, so I don't have to worry about room temperature. I use plain tap water NOTHING else. I found that when I used a gel it would turn my stems brown and they wouldn't root. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT use a humidity dome. There is NO need to when cloning with aero. I run my pumps constantly. No on or off times. There is NO need for on or off times when cloning with aero. You only need on and off times when you are growing with aero. Which I have been doing for the last 10 years. And this is the only way I grow. With aeroponics in the SOG. I have a 100 percent success rate, and I have for the last 9 years. I start getting roots in 5 days, and in 10 days they ALL have roots. Now due to the way I grow. I let the roots grow for a total of 17 days. Then they get moved to one of the 4 aero systems I built. And they go straight into 12/12. No veg time. I'm on a 2 week rotation. So this means I harvest one system ( 42 plants ) every 2 weeks. So in turn this means I have to have 42 clones ready every 2 weeks. To keep the 2 week rotation going. I keep all 5 of my aero cloners running all the time. Because I sell hundreds of clones a month. So basically the best tips I can give you is ALWAYS keep your pumps running. And AWAYS keep your water or solution below 70. This is so easy. It isn't brain surgery. Oh and one more thing. Remember this guy is just trying to make a sale. Sorry dude, but that's the truth. Good luck everybody. Later.. ASS OG AeroSystemsSea OfGreen.

Thanks for the information! Though I gotta be honest...the talking head didn't match up to the audio. I had to focus hard on the audio and background video instead lol

Where can I get drops of balance

What is the recommendation of hydrogen peroxide per gallon? I generally agree that blanket answers are general in nature and should be specified as such (referring to fifteen minutes on, fifteen minutes off). I also like that you explain the variables that pertain to the situation. Although I find that beyond grasping the variables that go into the water temperature, if you are not using a fifteen on fifteen off schedule, more likely than not you should adjust those variables until that schedule is utilized...

In my view point

How do plants defend themselves from pathogens once rooted?

I have more success with just putting cuttings in a glass of water in a window sill. I tried the cloner and almost all the plants molded at the stem base. Maybe I will try it again with no humidity dome and see if that works?

I've been running my cloner for a week now and have had any root growth. The cuttings are starting to slightly brown at the cut point. My water is at 61 to 63 degrees. I have a timer running 15 on 15 off. I used RO water, clonex gel and the clonex solution in the water. should I add hydrogen peroxide, start over or just keep pace and hope for the best?

Ìwhat pp did you use ta

What’s u ppm for u first run ?

Will someone invent a large tray cloner, for larger stem size cuttings please? :)

Use a light with a dimmer

How often should i mist? If u can answe that for me i will like, subscribe and share this video 🙏🏼

I prefer Heisenberg tea

I found that changing the pucks and cleaning them in bleach helps.and I use a chiller

Lip Sync is off cadence Thanks for the tips

Whats the hydrogen peroxide to water ratio?

How many times can you say "in my view point" in a you tube video

You didnt say anything really useful like how much Clonex or H202 to use!

Use SLF100 and it will solve you issues

So you completely avoided answering the question about how long to turn your pump on and off . Smh

that drops of balance is stupid fucking expensive. id rather kms than buy that. according to my math at 4mL dose per cleaning at 10 dollars per ounce that is 1.33(repeating of course) USD per cleaning. Compare that to Bleach which is about a penny (USD) per cleaning or hydrogen peroxide which is about .33 (repeating of course) USD per cleaning.
