never checked it. if the plant has no roots i dont see how it can really take up much nutrients. ill check what the ppms are tho the next time i go look
im just gonna start it at like 4-500 this time i think thats were i really messed up haha
Actually, make sure you throw away the inserts after each use and buy new ones. There is no way to completely clean and sterilize them since the roots actually grow into them and pathogens get INTO the neoprene.Just make sure you only clean those little black foam pieces with only little soap n hot water NO BLEACH
very toxic for your cuts
I remove the manifold from the pump, clean and rinse everything with bleech, and then I run it for 30-60min with 5ml/g bleach. Then I dump the rez and rinse it again before I get going. Don't be too worried about a little residual bleach after this process, it wont hurt anything. And, as I previously stated, don't reuse the neoprene inserts.give or take T but aprox how much bleach did you use? and did you just add bleach too the res and let it run or did you take it apart and did it part by part?
Don't you notice that the roots grow into the inserts? I need 100% success each time as I don't have the space to run extras. What I cut, I need. When I reuse inserts I only get a 90-95% success rate. I don't mind spending 50 cents for a neoprene insert that will start a plant that will in turn yield me $500+ worth of medicine.ive been running this thing for over a year and been using the same pucks.
does the turbo cloner have a PROPAGATION LID or open air? building my own smaller version and is one needed? thanks D.
I'd take your word for it!! thanks for sharing!
I fill my bathtub an put soap and about i wanna say like 4 to 5 ounces of bleach, then just let it run for around an hour.Then I refill the tub rinse off the pump and manifold and do the same thing with reg water to get all the residues in it out.

Good luck bra
i put water in it then pour bleach in and let it run for 5 mins. then i pour it out rinse it and refill it with just water and let it run. then i pour it out again fill it with fresh water let it run. then i take the neoprim pucks and wash them off real good in plain water. but i have cleaned them with the bleach water never had an issue. then one last time i fill it up add my nutes and put the plants in. i make sure it cannot smell bleach or if i can its very faint.

U can get a lid for all three sizes of turbo klones.
I went to the hydro store nearby to get one of this & they were charging $105 for it. Anyone knows a better deal on online store?
Thanks
For a lid/humidity dome?
~10$ worth of PVC and elbows to make a 'frame' then drape a piece of 2ml clear poly over it.
I have used a chiller in the past but have found a timer placed at 2 minute's on and 5 off works great..No need to chill and I am getting the same rooting time...JACK
