So I got a pump and an airstone
    #613895 - 03/22/12 08:28 AM (12 years, 8 days ago)

Now what do I do to make a cloner? The pump stays out of the water, the airstone connects via the hose...then I just plug it in?

How deep should the water be? Should the clone tips be under water, or above it?

Looks like its a 1.9w pump. I only want to build this for 3 clones at a time, so I'm going to use a small rubbermaid container, probably just big enough for the air stone.

I can post pics of my process if anyone is interested.

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

The clones should be just above the water so that when the air bubbles hit the surface they are getting water on the clone stem. 


Of course you just plug it in.  Let us know if ya got any specific questions.

The air stone isn't bubbling much. Just out of a few spots. I got it used, so it might be a bit worn out...or the pump might be too weak. It was a trade, so I'm not so worried about it anyway, but I'd like it to work haha.

If it isn't gonna cooperate I'll get a goldfish :tongue2:

You may just need a bigger pump.  Those things don't really wear out.  They're made to run 24/7 for a very long time.  I have one that's been running continuously for 5 years or so.

Magash talks about it in a thread somewhere around here.
Put clones in water, keep air to them and change water daily.

That would make sense, it like a DWC.  Still seems like you would have to have a decent amount of water.

Don't get a goldfish man I'll come and slap ya. Sounds like you either need to replace the diaphram or go buy a new one. If the airstone is old then definitley replace that, they get clogged to the shit after a while, same goes with airline.

:tongue2: the air line is brand new. Could be that one way valve, I had to blow into it pretty hard to get it to work. I'll try without maybe, unless its needed.

I think the pump is just on the weak side, so I think maybe I'll get a fish lol. Okfine, not a goldfish :tongue2: I've always liked those little neon fish.

nah dude you can't put ANY fish in there, especially not a tropical one. No filter/heater/established bacteria then no fish
