cooler cloner

kennkenniff

ive decided to build a cloner with this cooler a small pool pump a little bit of hose and some mister heads i got from my local grow store i wanted to use an ultrasonic fogger but i don't buy thing on the supermeganet so my only option was pet stores and the cheapest one i could find was 50$ witch is way to much for me (the wife wont let me spend that much) so i bought
-20x360 degree mist heads 5$
-various hoses 0$ (got from my work)
-pool pump 10$ at a yard sale (50$ at walmart)
-cooler 0$ (found in garbage)
-12 hose clamps 0$ (from work)to buy under 5$
-bcuzz 50 spot tray with round rock wool 7$
-aquarium silicone 3$
-vented humidity dome 5$
-2 hours time
heres a few picks before assembly i,ll post more of the finished product in action tomorrow i gotta go buy batteries for my camera its been running since Monday and i think i,m already getting some roots,the hole thing cost me about 25$ i,m gonna make some changes for the next time i cut clones but once i post the pics of it running feel free to add your 2 cents on how i can make it better because it is a little ruff on the edges ..

Very Cool...

Made one just along those lines a few months back...here's the thread on it...sorry, looks like the pics were lost in the flood...I'll see if I can get them back in there tomorrow.

What are you using for a res? Pool pumps can run hot...what is the GPH on the pump? Read through the post above (link) and you might pick up on some of the issues I had. Cooling the water was the toughest of all, and the ultimate reason I stopped using it. I want to re-build it at some point and use a 350 GPH pump and see how that does.

Nice work on the parts gathering...we gotta be creative!

thanks iso i dont have a res and the water is getting warm but nut enough for me to worry about

kennkenniff

the pump is 600 gph i have not added any thing to the water its just ph 6.0 and is sitting 80-85 temp the only thing i did was dip em in root stimmer i have 4 that are shoing roots i figure buy the end of the week it should look real nice in there the way i put it together it takes up a lot of space so next time around i will change a few things,i hope to only use it for 2-3 weeks at a time so that will give me lots of time to improve it

i tried to get the little disks from ez cloner but my local grow shop did not have them but they ordered them for me and im going to upgrade to suit them and ditch the rockwool altogether , i think i needed to clean everything better i think a few of the mist heads are clogged with the rubber from when i drilled the holes but THANK YOU

kennkenniff

update day 10, 75% of clones cut are showing roots

kennkenniff

i cut 40 clones and all of them have roots it,s been 11 days i,m so happy with this incredible contraption i,ve made. Just might have enough time to get em a little bigger then plant them outside hopefully by june 15. I,m going this weekend with a bail of pro-mix and dolomite lime to prepare the sites and find a few more locations
