Homemade Hydroponic Cloner
A simple hydroponic cloner that can be built by just about anyone. This little cloner will get the job done just like to big expensive ones but at a fraction of the price. Don’t let people tell you hydroponics is “expensive” or “complicated” because it isn’t.
Use a cloner like this to turn one plant into many in half the time it would take to start one from seed.
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?
should have the drill in reverse to drill I use modify computer cases
Cloner pasand aya hai🙏🙏, coment from India🇮🇳
pro tip. skip the pucks. let the styrofoam float on the water. it sinks/floats to the perfect height
Tip – cut the cutting underwater so a air bubble doesn’t form in the stem.
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
would like to have some cloning lab at home.
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
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!
forstner bits are your friend when it comes to cutting holes in that plastic
The secret in drillivng the holes is put the drill in reverse, cleaner holes even if you’re doing it in plastic.
SO YOU WANT TO BUY SUPER CLONER THAT HEATS THE WATER SO YOU GET STEM ROT AND PLUGED UP EMITERS THAT STOP SPRAYING, THEY SUCK!
Just drill 1/2 in drill holes all over it and clone fifty easily at a time no pucks needed
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.
Run your hole saw in reverse and youll avoid all the tear out when cutting plactic
I bought a fridge organser a air stone and some foam . Works everytime
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
Thanks for Answering the Question , should the Stems touch the Water !
Great video, thanks 😊
dam your a cheap bastard
U need the lid the styro will get innthe ressi
Pilot bit missing
Cut holes in reverse next time won’t have the cutting issue
Next time use a black storage tub to stop light or you may get algae build up but besides that great idea my friend
Use a heat gun lightly to keep the styrofoam from flaking
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
Drill the holes backwards next time
You don’t need to worry to much about external humidity when you use a dwc or air cloner.
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😉
Sawing in reverse will help.
You can use Green Styrofoam, way less mess…😁💨💨✌️
Put your drill in reverse then cut hole for picks
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
Thank u
Just heat the hole saw up and push it through. Wala perfect everytime
Ron your holesaw in reverse will burn a nice clean hole without jumping around a ripping the top to pieces. Even though it’s in reverse will burn through in seconds
is it necessary to include the bubbling system?
How did you keep it from leaking water out around the edges bro
Just needed to use the drill bit to center the door hole saw bit.
Pool noodles form the dollar store work great and cut super easy.
How far are the cuttings from the actual liquid in the tank?
Thanks bro
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 ☮️
gotta get a backing for the lid – that styrofoam is big mess! lol, so annoying because it sticks everywhere – Good Video though – thanks!
No way your bubbles are enough
Drill the big holes in reverse thank me later.
I have a TurboCloner with sprays & had shit results so converting to bubbles !
Shoulda used the lid to cut the puck holes dude. Styrofoam looks like ish and it made a mess.
Maybe if you had the proper tools.
Do you have to have the cloner under lights?
