I have had this cloner for a little over a year now, and im pretty close to 100 percent success with it still...

Im still experimenting with different nutrient levels, but somewhere around half strength Athena AG grow solution works pretty well. The only trouble I have is sometimes it takes a few days for the roots to hit the reservoir, so the cuts have a tendency to go deficient before then, but always improve after that, or once transplanted. I have tried a couple other methods, and none are as successful for me as my Clone King.
I can see how this method wouldnt be optimal for shipping clones tho. I usually have a large mass of roots after a week or two. That wouldnt work out all that great in the mail.Coleman cooler with removable lid, not hinges. 1.5" pvc with elbows and adapted for pump, 9/36 boring bit makes holes perfect for 360 sprayers, 2" hole saw bit, 2" net pots, non toxic glue gun glue, cheap low watt pump. Space the holes with 1/2-1" in between and you can build a 200 site unit for under $100 instead of spending $350-450. I built a dozen of them from 2012-2014. Wear a painters mask
Yeah, I havent had a clone machine in over a year. Miss them tough. Went through over twenty machines in 8 years. Never had one break down, but everytime someone said hey you wanna sell any of these cloners, I always think hell, sell the used one and buy a new one!I can see how this method wouldnt be optimal for shipping clones tho.

ill have a crack at it next weekend ed. seems fairly simple. i like the $99 one though that @jaguarlax put up. time vs $$$ too i guess@Frosty78, once you get a good look at a turbocloner you'll decide to make one yourself, easy peasy for you mate. I bought the 94 site turbocloner and the first res leaked. A fair price for one would be a quarter of the price.
I've been taking heaps of cuts lately to up my clone game. Peat plugs, vermicompost/coco mix, rockwool and the turbo. Turbo is the easiest with plugs coming in second for me.
I run the turbo 15min off every 45 but will give PNW's method a crack with 15 on 15 off as it is still getting too hot. Run ph at 5.8 and check daily for adjustments as it creeps up. When its dialed it works well, especially if you let them ride for a bit longer and get some extra root mass.
Foliar every day with fine mist of water and seaweed for the win.

Usually, I just heavily mist all the lowers that I intend to clone, for 3-4 days prior to taking the cuttings. It is supposed to remove excess Nitrogen. Good luck.Does anyone do anything special in the way of prepping the mother before taking cuts?... lower N and pump carbs? Anyone use Mother specific nute regimine?
I've read about air layering but never tried it myself. After reading this I think I'll give it a go when my plants get big enough. Thxfor a while in oregon the legislature kept changing around the medical plants count limits. not the number you can have for each patient in flower but the total number of vegging plants.
i had to cut back on the total number to comply so i started "air layering" large cuts.
as they were still on the donor plant they couldn't be used against you.
this technique is just about bulletproof and you can take huge cuttings. i would take about the whole last foot of a branch.
i don't have any pics but it's very easy to do.
scarify the area just above where you intend to cut and take 2 jiffy plugs or rapid rooters and cut them length-wise only halfway through like a hot dog bun but halfway.
put them both over the scarified area end to end and i used a couple of pieces of cotton string to hold them in place but whatever you got will work.
then wrap them light-proof in aluminum foil.
i used a snack-sized sandwich bag cut half-way down the side sides then pulled up over the foil and zipped shut. if you didn't cut too far the bag should seal pretty well around the limb. some folks use saran wrap.
give it about ten days and check it. it should be full of roots. cut off just below the roots and transplant.
i put these right into 7 gal containers and they just take off.
they don't even need a reduction in nutes as they have just come off a plant running in my case at around 850 ppm at .5.
use fresh wet rooter plugs. i bought i think the rapid rooter brand in the grow stores and they came moist in a bag.
these grow the whole time they are rooting as well sothink k watch out!
