First run I used 4 inch rockwool cubes, but this second run I'm attempting to go straight from ez cloner into the veg UC system. How high should I keep the water level and do you have to top feed by hand for a while so the clones dont dry out in the hydoton?
They have been in there for about 2 days and don't look super healthy, a little droopy and havent grown much....Ive been hand watering them a few times a day while I'm in the room.
Also, I cleaned the system after my first run with Physan 20 and those dam foam bubbles are still in the system after flushing it about 5 times. How long do these take to go away? haha
thanks!
it all depends on how tall the plant is and how long the roots are, the water level should be touching the bottom of the net I believe, if your roots are not touching the water you will need to top feed till the roots are in the water, my plants do not leave the easy cloner till they are 1 foot tall already i dont know if it is the right way or not but when i transplant i have to cut a hole out of the center of the bottom of the net so i can slide the roots right out of the net strait into the water, in my opinion roots should not be in the net at all thay should be in the water.:bong2:
Often times clones leave the EZ cloner with rot...
I normally enjoy your posts but I have to disagree with this comment. I personally have never, not once, got stem rot or root rot from my cloner after hundreds and hundreds of clones. Ever. I've also made DIY EZ style cloners for a few friends and THEY have also never experienced this.
I'm not trying to nit pick but if you want to say "I often times get rot when I clone" that's fine but saying it as a general rule is just plain incorrect.
How big of a hole do you cut in the net pots? I thought about that, but wouldnt hydroton fall out into the water?
Have you ever had issues with the stem rotting at the bottom if you cut a hole, and push the roots all the way through the hole?
But i don't often get it, i often see other people get it.
When consulting on a commercial scale a lot more is involved then what seems to "work." The use of an EZ cloner provides no benefits over cloning in rockwool, however can lead to serious problems down the road.
If an ez cloner is working for you, by all means keep using it. Just be aware that your adding 5-15 days of potential rot to an already rot prone system.
