Ok dudes, here’s the beef...

If you google “diy ez clone build”, you’ll find all kinds of suitable aerocloner designs. All the good ones will get you near ~100% survival, with roots in, at most, 10 days to 2 weeks.

You’ll also find that on the actual process side, there are two opposing schools of thought: those who hold water temp at optimal dwc levels, and those who break the rules.

I’m gonna test this, with three 4-gal, 4-cutting
buckets, using 250 or 350 gph submersible pumps, pvc pipe/fittings, and 360 degree misters.

Along for the ride!

Looks like a solid build. Pumps looks almost over speced, could too much water pressure on those roots become a factor?

250 and 350 gph, ez-clone uses ~400 on similar sized bucket w 9 holes....i run a 350 on my 12 hole, 18-gal tote, no prob; was concerned 250 would be too low...we’ll see....

So, here’s my initial plan:

All buckets 5.8 pH, no roots no nutes

1 bucket will be:
- water temp 75F
- 1 mL garden friendly fungicide (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain D747), one time

1 bucket:
- water temp 75F
- 6ml/gal WORKING SOLUTION calcium hypochlorite (see below), every 3 days

1 bucket:
- water temp 85F
- 6mL/gal WORKING SOLUTION calcium hypochlorite (see below), every 3 days


Calcium Hypochlorite source is:

To make 1 gal of WORKING SOLUTION:
Add 1g of HTH Pool Shock to 1 gallon RO water, mix well.
