Homemade Hydroponic Cloner 

when drilling through plastic have the drill spinning counter clockwise. It will melt the plastic instead of cutting it, much smoother and effective.

For the neopremes a cheap solution is just cut slices off a pool noodle with slits half way to feed the stem in, very cheap and just one makes plenty plugs😉

The secret in drillivng the holes is put the drill in reverse, cleaner holes even if you're doing it in plastic.

Using a hole saw, you need the center drill bit to keep hole saw stay aligned. Also drill backwards it will make a smooth finish hole, and less tear out.

Question when cloning do you put in the water ? Or above? Also how do u figure out how much nute’s with water to the size you build?

Pool noodles form the dollar store work great and cut super easy.

I bought a fridge organser a air stone and some foam . Works everytime

Do you have to have the cloner under lights?

Great video, thanks 😊

Thanks for Answering the Question , should the Stems touch the Water !

Next time use a black storage tub to stop light or you may get algae build up but besides that great idea my friend

forstner bits are your friend when it comes to cutting holes in that plastic

Thanks bro

Just needed to use the drill bit to center the door hole saw bit.

Put your drill in reverse then cut hole for picks

Thank u

1:31 you can burn through styrofoam or just use some heated metal ... there's no need for drilling and it might even be harmful

Pilot bit missing

How did you keep it from leaking water out around the edges bro

Run your hole saw in reverse and youll avoid all the tear out when cutting plactic

Burn top of can. Itll slide right thru

would like to have some cloning lab at home.

Got to be honest man that looks really sloppy. Try getting a pilot bit and drilling in reverse next time. Also you would have been better off heating up the saw or just pushing it through the foam with the weight of your hand on a flat surface.

Cut holes in reverse next time won't have the cutting issue

You can use Green Styrofoam, way less mess...😁💨💨✌️

is it necessary to include the bubbling system?

Drill the holes backwards next time

U need the lid the styro will get innthe ressi

Drill the big holes in reverse thank me later.

Shoulda used the lid to cut the puck holes dude. Styrofoam looks like ish and it made a mess.

Cloner pasand aya hai🙏🙏, coment from India🇮🇳

No way your bubbles are enough

Tip - cut the cutting underwater so a air bubble doesn't form in the stem.

I have a TurboCloner with sprays & had shit results so converting to bubbles !

Him using the styrofoam was better than the original because the lid lets it leak but the foam is inside the box

So happy to see a new video! I've enjoyed all the ones in the past. Please keep it up :)

Finally your back good to hear your voice it's good to see you're still at it and I hope you don't forget about us...:-) Anybody watching this video I highly recommend you see his other videos they're just a wealth of knowledge and ideas.. Thanks Damian :-)

Good to see you back. Looking forward to more videos. :)

Use a heat gun lightly to keep the styrofoam from flaking

Where'd you get the larger clear plastic lid you used to encase the setup? It would be great if your videos included a parts list with brand names and possibly the website you got it from. Thanks!

hi there this is amazing trick for cloning time , how many millimeter between the water and cutting trunk from cloning ? in my research cloning need heated mat , so can I add heater from aquarium ? keep it warm , similar with normal dome underneath need heater . also can I use rock wool for cloning yes

How far are the cuttings from the actual liquid in the tank?

I made one of these , they work great

I reflect same sentiment as Jimmy. Use the drill in reverse when cutting into plastics and foam.

what kind of music is playing?

wb. I was just thinking the other day I hope you'll be settled in to your new house and able to do a new season this year.

qhat size is the hole

If you use the drill spinning in reverse your holes will be neater

Sawing in reverse will help.

How long do you leave the cuttings under the dome? Do you use a heating mat to control the temp of the cloners water? Very nice video!

Good to see you back Matthew ! Hows the new house ?

You don't need to worry to much about external humidity when you use a dwc or air cloner.

Just heat the hole saw up and push it through. Wala perfect everytime

should have the drill in reverse to drill I use modify computer cases

What kind of food is needed? And at what time?

You can clone a tomato in a bottle water...just snip off your sucker and put it in a bottled water..takes about 2 weeks and the roots will be everywhere

Well now I know what to do with the prunings from my climbing tomatoes...

To cut through plastic with those hole saws, drill the pilot hole normally, and then run the drill in reverse to cut the circular part, it creates cleaner cuts.

Two words. Styrofoam Cutter. You can make one from some thin copper or aluminum wire and a 9volt battery. I had to laugh a little when you used power tools on styrofoam lol. Other wise pretty good.

Nice video. Ive been confused on whether or not to keep stem tips in or out of the water. Verified keep them out and let the airstones do the work. Thank you bro peace ☮️

Just cut the holes with a utility knife with new blade. Way easier. Plastic isn't too hard for that.

reverse the direction of ur drill when using hole saws in plastic, they work 500% better.

why everyone is saying that styrofoam is a toxic additive ? As far as I know, it is inert and it will decompose in a looooong time

How long in a day should the airpump on? Do you need it 24/7?

great video! Look into "grow grips". There were made from a kickstarter an youtuber put together. I haven't tried them yet, but they seem like they would work better than the neoprene ones.

Your totes is too cheap. Need heavy duty which totally occludes light . Also put lid on tote when cutting will keep it from moving while cutting holes

gotta get a backing for the lid - that styrofoam is big mess! lol, so annoying because it sticks everywhere - Good Video though - thanks!

you can get one for under 10€ at ikea,

Just drill 1/2 in drill holes all over it and clone fifty easily at a time no pucks needed

Get rid of that clone ex and grow yourself an aloe Vera plant mate.... Take the small tips off of the plant and use the gel inside for your clones ;)

pythium

Musics got me dancing so hard

Maybe if you had the proper tools.

If you drill it on the wood you won’t have that problem, you can make those pucks out of foam as well, and keep them in the water

pro tip. skip the pucks. let the styrofoam float on the water. it sinks/floats to the perfect height

you showed a pic of an aeroponic cloner when making the money comparison and built a dwc cloner..VERY big difference between the two. I own a lot of both of those and the aeroponic cloner would have a million times higher success rate than the dwc you made any day of the week. I wont even use my dwc cloners any more and have already givin most of them away. you can build aeroponic cloners cheap as well. Also that styrofoam will be eaten away by the nutrient water and leach chemicals in to you plants roots

oh boy! Chernobyl pot foam cancer!!!!!!!!!good luck .
