DIY Bubble Cloner

I think you would need to veg for at least 8 weeks, then, depending on growth, switch to 12/12 and let her stretch up. If you’re tucking and using the proper techniques you shouldn’t have a problem filling the screen quickly.

For me personally, my logic is simple: longer veg = stronger, bigger plant = more buds.

I think just one plant is more than enough to fill a 2x3 SCROG, no doubt. I would save the other seed for another grow.

I realize that this is an older thread - but I wanted to say thanks for posting!
I made a smaller version of your design - this is my third attempt at cloning, 1st using hydro/bubbler. The first two did not go well using peat pellets and/or soil. success rate was like 2 of 12… Disappointing is an understatement.

The bubbler I made - again from your design - is 6 of 6 so far. 10 days in and all of the cuttings have roots!!

roots 12-21-17

It’s a 1gal Rubbermaid container, (2) 6" air stones each attached to their own small pump. I made the collars from the packing some of my LEDs came shipped in. Up to this point I’m using Azos in the bubbler with a little SuperThrive.

Those clones are from a Violator Kush mother that I have in my tent in veg - she was germ’d at the same time as the plants that are in my scrog screen - which will be harvested over the next week or two.

buds 12-21-17

Those are in a Promix based medium mixture that was shared by another member - but I am really interested in Hyrdo and have been looking at everything from the “ebb and flow” systems to individual bucket setups.

Thanks for sharing!!!

Low pressure Aeroponics less nutrients simple to build and more forgiving being a hybrid of NFT

thanks for the pointer…:+1:
Using less nutes was a driver to going with a smaller bubbler for cloning.

A few quick searches and found some good info on DIY low pressure aeroponics systems.
Thanks!

Buddy thanks for those. I’ve been reading pieces of that thread previously, not sure how I missed the step by step guide - that is sweet.

This absolutely blew my mind. You mean you cut in veg and in a month you flip to flower? :exploding_head::exploding_head::exploding_head: that sounds like king of methods. How did that overall yield for you man? I know this thread is old af but VERY helpful and essentially why this site is so great

works fairly well sea of green style in hydro unit with less spacing 2-3 kolas per 6 plants in 15 gal totes square so easily placed together or ebb&flow flood table same approach
each plant giving you 1/2oz Kola done right much the same as larger plant with less veg time needed 2 weeks to root and recover 3 weeks to grow then flip. Works best if you have space to grow perpetually 3 light rotation and a mother space

Dude im def gonna pick your brain when i get there. Thats for mass growing ideally tho. Not at that level period

It is indeed for production growing

Does size of clone bubbler make a difference in how it works? Hope not cause i made a small one today, thanks to the great info on this thread @ktreez420


Gnna try it out tnite or tmor and see what happens. Its on a dry run atm to see if temps and rh are good.
RH starting rising with in minutes, just gtta make sure temps come up, will have to check later. I already feel that i am going to have to get a bigger air pump or i may just run an air line from my big compressor with a pressure regulator. Thanks again for the how to
I plan on adding a 6th spot but hyro store only had 5 neoprene pucks this size

Test run…the temp is low cause lids was just off, it sits about 79-80.
I had to move it to my drying fridge to keep temps up.

Checked last night, 72 hours and 2 of 6 already making roots :grin: and still look like the day they were cut.

Can you just buy the attachment for the bucket if so where do I get it and. What are the blue things inside the bubbleler do u use warm water

@Lostscuba if u go to a pet store in the fish aquarium section, u can find some air tube and fittings. The blue things are air stones, also from pet store. I recently changed my hoses going in with a set a valves. I will take a pic later and post

Are you cloning or doing hydro?

Clones. And hydro some one on here gave me the idea and says it works fine

@Lostscuba you need some rubber gromets
To make sure u have water tite seal.


U can see in pic where hoses go thru, i used electrical rubber gromets. Hope this helps
