ZenMaries 1st grow round

I’ve been trying to clone for I think 4 grows now and do not have the best of luck. I will check out the Clone King. Thanks!

I’ve never used a clone king, but if you’re interested I can share my procedure. Since I left rockwoll and went to root riot cubes, I’ve had a 100% success rate (not that it is a huge sampling, but 6 for 6)

So we don’t clog up this journal, would you mind sharing your process here?

Ok y’all. So I have now ordered the Apera Ph meter and the AC 6in. inline fan. How many of the computer fans do y’all suggest I put in here, and do y’all have a certain brand you suggest?

I have some of each. I use the computer fan sized ones for young ones and use 6" fans for bigger plants.
I am sure others will provide more insight.

@ZenMarie Just a thought. I have a clone king as well. I use tribus in mine. Before you try the clonex. I would try and see if you can find more info on it. I am just saying that because clonex is really thick. And if it doesn’t dissolve, or dissolve good. It may end up clogging your jets.
@Newt is right. Cloning with out the machine is easy. I have never had any start as fast as with the cloner my self. This is a 10 day old clone here

I am reading review after review of cloners and scouring the forum and internet. I’ll face it growers I am failing at water or soil cloning and looking for something else. I follow suggestions to the letter and although some start growing, but most fail to survive and if they do, they are runts. Any and all suggestions accepted I just don’t want to go down another path of failure.

I only use the liquid Clonex in my Clone King, not the Clonex Gel. I have amazing results with it. There is some stuff called drops of balance that I would love to try, but I am getting great results with the liquid so I am just sticking with it for now.

@JaneQP I did quite a bit of searching as well when I was looking for a cloning machine and Clone King is the one I found to be most consistently highly rated.

Same here, I use the Clone King 25 with Clonex Cloning Solution (liquid) and Clear Rez (sterile method) and all my cuttings root 100% success every time, cloning does not get any easier that than, no spraying, no domes, no daily checks.

Have some cuttings in it right now

Sweet! I figured it would work like a charm. Can’t wait to try it out myself. Where did you get the collars like that??

@Not2SureYet I just got done watching a video where they were using it for props. They were dipping the end of the stem in the Clonex gel and putting them into a cube. Made me wanna buy some gel too.

I did a video for a friend for normal cloning. I don’t have one for the cloner. The collars come with the cloner. But here is a link to different sized ones.

Those are Permaclone collars, can check them out at permaclone dot com, much better quality than the collars the machines come with and they resist having roots grow into them as happens with cheaper collars and trying to separate them can be a mess. I used to treat collars as disposable and just toss them after each session til I got the permaclone collars. Easy to sterilize and reuse, can even microwave them.

@Hellraiser thanks for letting me know. I knew they didn’t look anything like the collars that came with mine. I am gonna check them out bc they do look better than the ones that come with them.
@Indo_817 woo-hoo, thanks for joining, glad you’re here!

Alright y’all. I have some last minute shopping questions.

  1. Really need some advice/recommendations on the small fans for the tent. I saw that some people are using tower fans? Anyone have experience/reviews with those?

  2. What is everyone using to take pics of their trichomes?? At this point I don’t even care if it’s really a “necessity” I just wanna see those beautiful trichs. Love seeing them :heart_eyes:

  3. Do I need to buy a lux meter? If so what brands are best?

  4. Do I need to buy ph up and ph down? I’m normally more of an organic grower, but I wanna get several grows under my belt before all that.

I hope yall are having a wonderful weekend!! Thanks for yalls help. Everything should be in this coming week and I’m super stoked!
