Yes heat is your friend when it comes to roots.

I think the goal temp. is around 75 to 80 degrees.

Good deal. Does the cutting need anything in the neoprene pot with it or just the collar to hold it in place? Like, does the root literally just float in the air and the water sprays on and around it? Sorry, I want to make sure I understand it all correctly.

I use just the net cup and collar until I have a good root system.

If anyone would like a parts list spreadsheet with links of aznshroomer's aeroponic cloner, I've posted one here: http://www.growery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/373118#373118

Hope this helps! :smile:

You can use a clear box but your gonna be cleaning algae out of it a lot. Plus light isn't all that good for the roots. :potleaf:

I built my first cloner and it works great.  The only problem is a slow leak from the lid. Can someone put detailed instructions on how to leak proof this thing. Thanks!

Instead of the piping couldn't you just use an ultra-sonic fogger and a small computer fan?

You could but then that wouldn't be an aeroponic cloner. There IS however a whole subset of fogponic cloners that I hear work pretty well. Well, some of them work nicely, some of them are piles of horseshit. I think some work still needs to be done but it sounds awesome if you get it right.

I got the idea from some techniques I use in cloning Nepenthes and figured it just seemed like an over simpler build.  And though I'm sure it would work if given the time, I decided to break it down after three days.  The RH,in my basement(16%), was just grotesquely low and started doing a real number on the clones after the first day.  Later I put a dome on, and the cuttings did perk up, but I figured it defeated the entire purpose of the cloner

I might try it again once I get some free tent space,and able to keep the local humidity higher, while not sacrificing air flow.  If not, it just doesn't seem to be worth the extra trouble

Help, I built a 5 gallon bucket version of this. My problem is I smell inside the manifold and the glue fumes burn my nose. This can't be good for my babies.  I put it in my bathtub and ran it for two days trying to flush it but the fumes are still as strong. Anyone else get this?

What kind of glue did you use and did you give it sufficient time to dry or cure properly?

usually PVC glue off gases and sets pretty quickly.  But I could imagine if air wasn't able to actually escape your pipes, that the glue wouldn't set correctly, and that water would only exacerbate the issue.

But I'm totally guessing.  So take it for what it's worth

I got all new parts and assembled it with out glue. Parts fit tight, not worried about leaks.  No toxic smell

Yep definitely the way to do it. For sure that toxic smell would kill my clones.

Ok I got this thing running and it leads me to more questions. How much water spraying is to much. I have a 290gph pump with 8 easy cloner heads. The pressure is not a power washer but it is seriously raining in and out of my bucket when I lift out the net pot. My cutting has water dripping off it. Should it be this wet or have a chance to dry. Don't know how to post pics.
